Abstract :
Regarding the prevalence of mental disorders among students and the importance of screening devices in early identification and prevention of having disorders, the aim of present study was to develope an electronic device for screening mental health in high school students. The sample included 1346 high school teachers and students in Alborz, Kermanshah, Eastern Azerbaijan, Sistan & Baluchestan, Fars, and KhorasanRazavi Provinces. The teacher form consisted of 103 items. Items analysis based on 8 criteria showed that all the items except two of them were qualified. Principal component analysis using Varimax rotation showed that the most proper structure is 4-factor structure. But, according to confirmatory factor analysis, 8-Factor model was considered as the final model. Internal consistency of the device was sufficiently good, with coefficients ranging between 0.83 and 0.95. Correlation coefficients between items and subscales varied between 0.49 and 0.87 and correlation coefficients among factors ranged between 0.41 and 0.89. In general, psychometric properties of the Electronic Students Psychological Health Problem Scale (Teacher Form) indicated that it was suitable for screening and research.
