Abstract

Objective: Applying student co-design, this study sought to adapt and validate the 14-item Youth Service Satisfaction Scale (YSSS) for Post-Secondary Students (PSS).

Participants: PSS from a large, urban university who used campus-based mental health services in the past year.

Methods: Phase 1 focused on adaptation with PSS. In Phase 2, Confirmatory Factor Analysis was undertaken, Cronbach's alpha was calculated to assess internal consistency and known-group validity was confirmed using t-tests in a validation study using a convenience sample of PSS.

Results: Key student recommendations were integrated into a revised scale, including adapting for virtual care. 512 PSS with a median age of 22 completed the YSSS. A 4-factor model fit the data well; internal reliability ranged from α = .73-92 across subscales. Satisfaction was higher for in-person visits, repeat users, and older students.

Conclusions: The adapted YSSS maintained its validity and internal consistency in a large, diverse sample of PSS.

测量校园心理健康护理的认知：与学生合作调整和验证青少年服务满意度量表。

目的：采用学生共同设计的方法，对专上学生青少年服务满意度量表（YSSS）进行调整和验证。参与者：来自一所大型城市大学，在过去一年中使用过校园心理健康服务的PSS。方法：第一阶段以适应PSS为重点。在第2阶段，进行验证性因子分析，计算Cronbach's alpha以评估内部一致性，并在使用PSS方便样本的验证研究中使用t检验确认已知组效度。结果：主要的学生建议被纳入修订后的量表，包括适应虚拟护理。512名中位年龄为22岁的PSS完成了YSSS。4因子模型拟合较好；内部信度范围从α =。73-92分。亲自访问、回头客和年龄较大的学生满意度更高。结论：在一个大的、多样化的PSS样本中，改编的YSSS保持了其有效性和内部一致性。
