JSJustin Newton ScanlanAHAnne HoneyLSLyndal Sherwin

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the measurement properties of the Supporting Voice Hearers Measure in mental health settings.
  • Developed a new scale to evaluate beliefs, attitudes, confidence, and behaviours of mental health workers.
  • Administered the scale to mental health workers engaged with voice hearers.
  • SVHM demonstrates promising measurement properties for assessing mental health workers' perspectives.
  • Findings indicate variations in beliefs and attitudes among workers towards voice hearers.

Abstract

These results suggest that SVHM is a promising measure of mental health workers' beliefs, attitudes, confidence and behaviours related to working with voice hearers. Future research should explore how changes in mental health workers' beliefs, attitudes, confidence and behaviours impact the experiences and outcomes achieved by the voice hearers they are working with.
