“…To assess the multifactorial model, the author created a questionnaire with detailed descriptions in the methodology section (Positive Mental Health Questionnaire [PMHQ]). Lluch's PMHQ (1999) has been examined in several studies and in various settings: people with schizophrenia (Miguel, 2014), chronic patients (Lluch-Canut et al, 2013;Sánchez, 2015), carers of people with schizophrenia (Albacar et al, 2015), mobile emergency medical service professionals (Mantas et al, 2015), university students (Roldán-Merino, , and university professors (Hurtado et al, 2017). The questionnaire has also been translated into Portuguese (Sequeira et al, 2014) and Turkish (Teke & Baysan Arabaci, 2018).…”

Background The capacity for self‐care and positive mental health (PMH) has an influence on well‐being and on one’s approach to chronic illness. Purpose The aim was to determine the level of PMH and self‐care agency as well as the relations among sociodemographic variables, PMH, and the level of self‐care among patients with chronic physical health problems. We also examined correlations between PMH and self‐care agency. Methods A descriptive, cross‐sectional correlational study was conducted with a sample of 209 patients at a primary care center. The instruments used were the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire and the Appraisal of Self‐Care Agency scale. The STROBE statement was used. Results Significant differences were found in the PMH factors in relation to sociodemographic variables and health conditions. Suffering one or more chronic diseases was associated negatively, and significantly, with the capacity for self‐care. The four most prevalent chronic health problems in the sample were hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. Linking Evidence to Action In people with chronic physical health problems, there is a positive relationship between PMH and self‐care capacity. An increase in the possibility of caring for oneself saw an increase in PMH; conversely, an increase in PMH brought with it an increased capacity for self‐care as well. Therefore, if actions are taken to increase PMH, the capacity for self‐care will also increase.

“…There are several similarities between these two measures. Both measures were developed using mixed methods [ 21 , 23 ] and present a multi-dimensional structure of PMH comprising six factors relating to hedonic and eudemonic constructs of mental well-being [ 3 ]. While the PMH-I has 47 items belonging to the domains of general coping, emotional support, spirituality, interpersonal skills, personal growth and autonomy, and global affect, the PMHQ has 39 items representing personal satisfaction, prosocial attitude, self-control, autonomy, problem-solving and self-actualization, and interpersonal relationship skills.…”

“…The PMHQ was based on the Multifactor Model of positive mental health [ 22 ] that proposes ‘close inter-relationship between physical and mental health’ and the initial development of the tool was conducted in people with chronic physical health problems. Although it has since been validated in university professors and students in Europe [ 23 , 24 ], to the best of our knowledge, it has not been validated among the general population or different ethnic groups.…”

BackgroundMeasures of mental well-being and positive mental health (PMH) have been largely developed and used in Western populations, however, data on representative Asian communities are lacking. Using data from a population sample, this study sought to establish psychometric properties and norms of the PMH Instrument (PMH-I), a measure of positive mental health developed in Singapore.MethodsWe conducted a nationally representative survey among 1925 adults aged 18–79 years of Chinese, Malay, Indian or other ethnicity. Participants reported socio-demographic characteristics and completed the PMH-I along with measures of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychological distress. Construct validity of the PMH-I was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis and concurrent validity was tested through correlation with other psychological measures. Normative PMH values and differences in population subgroups were estimated.ResultsThe six-factor-higher-order structure of the PMH-I comprising six subscales of general coping, emotional support, spirituality, interpersonal skills, personal growth and autonomy and global affect was confirmed. Concurrent validity was shown through significant positive correlation of the total PMH score and its subscales with HRQoL and an inverse correlation with psychological distress. Weighted age, gender and ethnicity-specific norms were derived for the Singapore population. Total PMH was significantly higher in participants aged over 40 years as compared with 18–29 year olds and in non-Chinese ethnic groups as compared with Chinese. These differences were observed for all PMH-I subscales, with the exception of emotional support and interpersonal skills score differences by age. In contrast, gender, marital status, and education level were significantly associated with some of the subscales, but not with total PMH.ConclusionsThese results support the psychometric properties of the PMH-I in a multi-ethnic Asian population sample. The generalizable population-based norms support the application of the PMH-I for measuring mental health and assessing its determinants within the Singapore general population.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12874-018-0487-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Its psychometric properties were assessed for Catalan and Portuguese 8 Nursing students 3 , and Catalan professors 10 . In addition, it was used for measurements among university students 5,7,11 , professors 12 , health professionals 13 and people with chronic diseases 14 . The diversity of studies shows the interest and importance of the assessment of PMH.…”

Objective: to describe the cross-cultural adaptation process of the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire for undergraduate Nursing students, in the Brazilian context. Method: a psychometric study conducted in public universities in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil, between October 2019 and July 2020. The transcultural adaptation process encompassed the following stages: translation; reconciliation; back-translation; independent reviews by a committee of reviewers; pre-completion; completion; harmonization; formatting and review; cognitive test with 31 undergraduate Nursing students from two public universities; and analysis of the comments. Results: the process lasted approximately ten months, and the initial translations, carried out independently by two translators, achieved close versions; none of the translators reported difficulties in translating the meanings of the items. The Brazilian version of the instrument maintained conceptual, semantic, idiomatic, and experimental equivalences. The mean content validity ratio values for clarity, relevance, pertinence, and theoretical dimension were higher than established; the assessment by the target audience showed good understanding. Conclusion: the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire - Brazilian version showed equivalence with the original version, developed in Spain, and presented satisfactory evidence of content validity for use with undergraduate Nursing students in Brazil, being easy-to-understand by the target audience.
