“…Skala literasi kesehatan mental dikembangkan oleh peneliti berdasarkan kerangka konseptual dari literatur sebelumnya (Jorm, 2000;O'Connor & Casey, 2015;O'Connor et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2013). Skala ini mengukur rekognisi publik, pengetahuan, dan keyakinan mengenai gangguan mental.…”

Abstract. Mental illness had contributed 23% of global mental health burden. The high number of mental illness prevalence had impact on social and economic burden, yet only 10% was treated by professional. This study aimed to find out the significance of mental health literacy and community attitude toward mental illness toward formal help seeking. The hypothesis was mental health literacy and community attitude toward mental illness predicted formal help-seeking. A survey method was applied with total respondent was 168 people living in urban area. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The result showed mental health literacy and community attitude toward mental illness significantly predicted the formal help seeking simultaneously (F=3.466; p<0.05). This study concluded that people who well literate in mental health issues and having positive community attitude in their environment can affect their help seeking to professional treatment.

“…According to Jorm et al, MHL consists of seven attributes: the ability to recognise specific disorders; knowing how to seek mental health information; knowledge of risk factors and causes; knowledge of self-treatments; knowledge of professional help available; and attitudes that promote recognition and appropriate help-seeking. Although MHL has provided a useful way of conceptualising factors that impact on maintenance of mental health, there are methodological limitations to the measurement of this construct and no existing measure that assesses all attributes of MHL in a scale-based format (O'Connor et al, 2014). …”

Although Mental Health Literacy (MHL) has been a topic of substantial interest, measurement of this concept using a scale-based measure has been limited, including a lack of psychometric and methodologically robust scale-based measures of MHL. This study developed a new scale-based measure of MHL, the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS), which assesses all attributes of MHL. Construction of the MHLS was done over three key stages, including measure development, pilot testing and assessment of psychometrics and methodological quality. The resulting measure is a 35 item, univariate scale that is easily administered and scored. Results showed significant differences in scores between mental health professionals and a community sample, as well as individuals with greater experience with mental health, and a significant positive relationship with help-seeking intentions. The MHLS also demonstrated good internal and test-retest reliability. Evaluation of the methodological quality of the MHLS indicated that it has substantial methodological advantages in comparison to existing scale-based measures of MHL. The MHLS can be used in assessing individual and population level differences in MHL and in determining the impact of programmes designed to improve MHL.

“…The Journal of Mental Health traditionally encourages and supports research in applied psychometrics (Cao et al, 2016;Fitzgerald et al, 2017;Lloyd & Devine, 2012;O'Connor et al, 2014;Roncalli et al, 2013, among others). This special issue adds to this effort and presents a variety of different research scenarios often occurring in applied psychometrics.…”
