Abstract

This study examined the validity and reliability of the Mental Health Literacy Scale, involving 323 undergraduate students. Data were collected through scale distributed to active University students. The Mental Health Literacy Scale was developed based on theory of Jorm The results showed a validity coefficient of 4.81 according to Lawshe’s and Aiken’s V of 0.99. Mental health literacy includes knowledge and beliefs about mental health disorders that assist in their recognition, management, or prevention in oneself and others. This includes knowledge about the prevention of mental disorders, the progression of disorders, help-seeking and treatment options available, effective self-help strategies for milder problems, and first aid skills to support others who are mentally ill or in a mental health crisis. In addition, this scale has also undergone reliability testing and obtained a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.868, which indicates that this scale has high reliability. These findings suggest that the scale can be used as a reliable measurement tool in mental health literacy research and interventions in the wider population.
