Background: To date there is no standardized scale for the evaluation of self-efficacy of gatekeeper skills. Aim: The aim of this study was to develop the Gatekeeper Self-Efficacy Scale (GKSES), which consists of nine items assessing laypersons' confidence in their own gatekeeper skills, and to confirm its reliability and validity. Method: Altogether 875 participants joined in gatekeeper training between 2010 and 2017 and completed the GKSES both before and after training. After exploratory factor analysis, we analyzed Pearson's correlation between total GKSES scores and Attitude Toward Suicide Scale subscale scores and performed one-way analysis of variance for the score differences by demographics. Results: The GKSES is a univariate scale with good fit. Total GKSES score correlated with the appropriate attitudes for suicide prevention. Self-efficacy ratings after training improved irrespective of attribute. Participants who had had contact with suicidal individuals and those who had received previous suicide prevention training had high self-efficacy ratings, while a greater improvement was seen in the ratings of participants who had not had any previous contact or training. Limitations: It is necessary to assess the GKSES using more participants across other populations. Conclusion: The GKSES is a simple and useful measure with good internal consistency and validity for self-efficacy assessment of gatekeeper skills.

自杀预防守门人自我效能量表 (GKSES)。

背景：迄今为止，还没有用于评估看门人技能自我效能的标准化量表。目的：本研究的目的是制定守门人自我效能量表（GKSES），该量表由九个项目组成，用于评估外行对其自身守门人技能的信心，并确认其信度和效度。方法：2010-2017 年共有 875 名学员参加了看门人培训，并在培训前后完成了 GKSES。在探索性因素分析之后，我们分析了 Pearson 的 GKSES 总分与自杀态度量表分量表分数之间的相关性，并对人口统计学的分数差异进行了单向方差分析。结果：GKSES 是一个拟合良好的单变量量表。GKSES 总分与适当的自杀预防态度相关。无论属性如何，训练后的自我效能等级都会提高。与有自杀倾向的人有过接触和之前接受过自杀预防培训的参与者的自我效能感评分较高，而之前没有接触过或接受过任何培训的参与者的自我效能评分改善幅度更大。局限性：有必要使用其他人群中的更多参与者来评估 GKSES。结论：GKSES 是一种简单而有用的衡量标准，具有良好的内部一致性和有效性，可用于看门人技能的自我效能评估。而在之前没有接触或培训的参与者的评分中看到了更大的改善。局限性：有必要使用其他人群中的更多参与者来评估 GKSES。结论：GKSES 是一种简单而有用的衡量标准，具有良好的内部一致性和有效性，可用于看门人技能的自我效能评估。而在之前没有接触或培训的参与者的评分中看到了更大的改善。局限性：有必要使用其他人群中的更多参与者来评估 GKSES。结论：GKSES 是一种简单而有用的衡量标准，具有良好的内部一致性和有效性，可用于看门人技能的自我效能评估。
