“…Correlations between life satisfaction and the MHL were examined to examine the convergent validity of the MHL. Consistent with the existing research, general satisfaction with life was significantly and positively associated with KOMHL and ROMHL (Li et al, 2022;Sequeira et al, 2022). According to the Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1977), positive attitudes might influence one's intention to behave positively.…”

This study aimed to adapt the MHL scale and research the measurement properties of the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHL). The calibration research used a sample of Turkish participants (n = 633) aged 18 and older, resulting in a 19-item scale with three factors. The second sample of Turkish participants (n = 810), the validation research, convergent and divergent validity, and correlational and test-retest reliability was performed. Using the AMOS 26 and SPSS 25 for MAC, respectively, confirmatory factorial analysis and exploratory factor analysis were carried out. The adaption of the MHL to Turkish revealed a three-category structure: knowledge orientation, beliefs orientation, and resource orientation. The confirmatory factorial analysis disclosed that the model with three-factor was satisfactory fit values. The Mental Health Literacy Scale seems to be a vigorous and reliable tool for assessing the degree of knowledge orientation, belief orientation, and resource orientation to MHL in Turkish culture.

The exponential increase in the number of people suffering chronic illness has become a problem for which healthcare services need a response. The inclusion of self-care and positive mental health as part of a strategy to promote health offers an opportunity for a reorganization oriented towards community spaces and group interventions. This study undertook the assessment of an intervention designed to optimize the agency of and capacity for self-care and positive mental health by utilizing activities drawn from the Nursing Intervention Classification (NIC), specifically from Field 3 (Behavioral), and organized as a program called PIPsE. A quasi-experimental design was prepared with an intervention group (n = 22) and a control group (n = 22), in a primary care center in the Barcelona metropolitan area. The instruments used were two ad hoc questionnaires to collect sociodemographic and satisfaction information and two scales: the Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale (ASA) and the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire (PMHQ). The results obtained showed a significant increase in self-care capacity and both overall positive mental health and mental health by factors in the intervention group.
