The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the measurement structure of thePerceived Empathic and Social Self-Efficacy Scaleamongst 194 individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) and (2) to establish construct validity for thePerceived Empathic and Social Self-Efficacy Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a two-factor measurement structure of thePerceived Empathic and Social Self-Efficacy Scale, which was positively associated with insight, social support, and life satisfaction. ThePerceived Empathic and Social Self-Efficacy Scaleis a useful measure to assess social skills amongst individuals with SMI in rehabilitation counselling.

Background Mental health patients can experience involuntary treatment as disempowering and stigmatising, and contact with recovered peers is cited as important for countering stigma and fostering agency and autonomy integral to recovery. Aims To advance understanding of the interaction between involuntary treatment and contact with recovered peers, and explore hypothesised relationships to mechanisms of self-evaluation relevant to recovery. Method Eighty-nine adults diagnosed with serious mental illness completed items to assess involuntary treatment experience and the extent of prior contact with recovered peers, the Internalised Stigma of Mental Illness Scale, the Self-efficacy for Personal Recovery Scale, the Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery and relevant demographic and clinical scales. Results Contact with recovered peers was found to moderate the effects of involuntary treatment on internalised stigma. Sequential conditional process models (i.e. moderated mediation) then demonstrated that conditional internalised stigma (i.e. moderated by contact with recovered peers) mediated the indirect effect of involuntary treatment on recovery-specific self-efficacy, which in turn influenced recovery. Compared with those with low contact with recovered peers, recovery scores were 3.54 points higher for those with high contact. Conclusions Although study methods limit causative conclusions, findings are consistent with proposals that contact with recovered peers may be helpful for this patient group, and suggest this may be particularly relevant for those with involuntary treatment experience. Directions for future research, to further clarify measurement and conceptual tensions relating to the study of (dis)empowering experiences in mental health services, are discussed in detail.

Self-determination theory (SDT) can be used as a framework to assess self-determined work motivation and vocational recovery in people with serious mental illness (SMI). Vocational competency is a key SDT construct associated with self-determined motivation, rehabilitation engagement, and vocational recovery. The purpose of this study was to validate a brief vocational competency measure, the LSI-Vocational Competency Scale (LSI-VCS), which was adapted and abbreviated from the Life Skills Inventory (LSI), for people with SMI. Results confirmed a two-factor measurement structure and the two factors were labeled as job performance self-efficacy and job seeking self-efficacy. Both factors demonstrated acceptable levels of internal consistency reliability and correlated with other SDT vocational constructs in the expected directions. The LSI-VCS is a brief and psychometrically sound self-report measure that can be used to assess vocational competency of people with SMI in psychiatric rehabilitation research and practice.
