“…Our results were consistent with the previous studies in the Gaza Strip. 30,[32][33][34]43 Our results were inconsistent with the results that found children used instrumental social support (81.2%), instrumental emotional support (75.9%), religious coping (59.8%), and humor (50.8%). 44 Also, others found that a majority of the children's coping responses in the study of stressors and coping behaviors of school-aged homeless children staying in shelters were in the social support (86%), cognitive avoidance (38%), and behavioral distraction categories (31%).…”

“…The interaction between people and their environments, as well as the experiences of individuals, indicate the social construction of resilience as a holistic phenomenon. The studies done in colonial contexts with a history of systematic marginalization called into question the notion of resilience as a quantifiable construct and urged that social resilience be conceptualized and researched as a dynamic and complex phenomenon (Bogardi & Fekete, 2018;Atallah, 2016;Hundt et al, 2004;Dagdeviren & Donoghue, 2019;Qamar, 2023).…”

A variety of measures of mental health have been used with youth. The reason for choosing one scale over another in any given situation is rarely stated, and cross-cultural validation is scarce. Psychometric testing is crucial before utilizing any measure of mental health with a certain population, due to possible cultural variations in interpreting meaning. The research reported herein describes the development and psychometric testing of the Arab Youth Mental Health Scale. The process included 5 phases: (1) reviewing existing scales leading to the identification of 14 non-clinical and relatively short mental health scales used previously with youth; (2) rating the scales by the researchers and community members leading to the identification of 3 scales with apt structure, and that were judged to be suitable, applicable, and appropriate; (3) soliciting youth input to assess comprehension of each item in the selected 3 scales and to discover context specific mental health related feelings, thoughts, and expressions; (4) seeking expert opinion to classify items remaining after phase 3 that measured common mental disorders, and to limit repetitiveness; and (5) testing for psychometric properties of the 28 items that remained after the previous 4 phases. The contribution of each phase to the process is described separately. Results of the exploratory principal component analysis resulted in one factor which explained 28% of the variance and for which 21 items loaded above an eigenvalue of 0.5. No other factor added significantly to the explanation of variance, nor had items that added theoretical or conceptual constructs. The process of soliciting feedback from youth groups, the community and professionals; and of field testing was challenging; but resulted in a contextually sensitive, culturally appropriate and reliable scale to measure mental health of youth. We recommend that researchers measuring mental health of youth critically analyze the relevance of existing scales to their context; consider using the AYMH scale if appropriate to their target population; and when needed, use a similar methodology to construct a relevant, culturally and contextually sensitive measure.
