The latent variable model of the psychiatric rehabilitation beliefs, goals, and practices scale.
This article determined the latent variable model for the items of the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Beliefs, Goals, and Practices Scale (PRBGP). Five, four, and three factor models were evaluated for best "fit" based upon the responses of 478 IAPSRS members from 39 states. The three factor model achieved an acceptable and the simplest "fit. " The article interprets the three factors or latent variables of the model which were entitled: Consumer-Driven Paradigm, Deficit-Focused, Staff-Directed Paradigm, and Empirical-Based/Consensus-Guideline Practices. The PRBGP's three factor model describes the paradigms and practices that define psychiatric rehabilitation as a sub-specialty in the mental health field.
