ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To confirm the validity and reliability of the Greek version of the Clinical Cultural Competency Questionnaire (CCCQ) among mental healthcare professionals.
METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 290 mental health professionals who worked in two psychiatric hospitals of Athens. Internal reliability, content validity, and construct validity were estimated. We conducted factor analysis in order to estimate the structure of the questionnaire.
RESULTS: Our six-factor model explained 67.0%of the variance and included the following factors: (a) knowledge, (b) skills, (c) encounter situation, (d) attitude, (e) awareness, and (f) education/training. All subscales resulting from the factor analysis had alphas that ranged from 0.72 to 0.93. Correlations among the scales were all statistically significant. Higher scores in all subscales were observed for mental health care professionals who had attended transcultural health care courses and had social interactions with people from different cultural backgrounds.
CONCLUSIONS: The Greek version of CCCQ was found to be a clear, valid, and reliable tool to assess the cultural competence of mental healthcare professionals.
