- Reliability and validity of the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire in a sample of Spanish university studentsPublication . Roldán-Merino, J.; Lluch-Canut, M. T.; Casas, I.; Sanromà-Ortíz, M.; Ferré-Grau, C.; Sequeira, Carlos; Falcó-Pegueroles, A.; Soares, D.; Puig-Llobet, M.WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: In general, the current studies of positive mental health use questionnaires or parts thereof. However, while these questionnaires evaluate aspects of positive mental health, they fail to measure the construct itself. WHAT DOES THIS PAPER ADD TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: The widespread use and the lack of specific questionnaires for evaluating the positive mental health construct justify the need to measure the robustness of the Positive Mental Health Questionnaire. Also six factors are proposed to measure positive mental health. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE?: The availability of a good questionnaire to measure positive mental health in university students is useful not only to promote mental health but also to strengthen the curricula of future professionals.
