Water Quality Monitoring and Analysis

Introduction: Illness behaviour and Help-Seeking behaviour can have great impact on patient's health and quality of life; therefore, it's important to have an appropriate scale to assess these constructs.Objectives: To study the psychometric qualities of the IHSBS on Portuguese mental health patients, its reliability, its construct and concurrent validity, measured using the Stigma Scale (SS).Methods: The sample comprised 140 mental health patients, with different psychiatric diagnosis (70% women), with mean age of 39.49 years old (SD=15.71;V=18-78), followed in health centers and hospitals in the central area of the country.They filled out a questionnaire that included the SS and the IHSBS.Results: The KMO was .681and Bartlett's test p<.05.The analysis of the main components and scree plot revealed 3 components which was confirmed by Horn's parallel analysis.The three factors were submitted to a varimax rotation -F1 is Help-Seeking Behaviour (EV=17.97%;α=.69), F2 Health Worries (EV=15.55%;α=.76), F3 Illness Behaviour (EV=9.01%;α=.68), all had acceptable internal consistency and so did the total scale EV=42.53%;α=.64).Four items were excluded: items 9, 16, 3 had inacceptable loadings in all dimensions and item 2 didn't contribute for its sub-scale internal consistency.The correlation between IHSBS total score and its sub-scales ranged from .36 to .76 (p<.01); between F2 and the SS was .37 (p<.01) and between F3 and the SS was .19(p<.05).Conclusions: The IHSBS is a valid and reliable instrument, that can be useful to assess Illness and Help-Seeking behaviour in mental health patients.
