The preliminary tool including 120 items was made and testified by expert’s content validity. The preliminary tool was composed of 56 question. Item analysis and internal consistency were calculated for reliability and validity through pre-test. Provisionally, the tool was composed of 48 items with the four point Likert Scale.
In the second stage, for the verification of the reliability and validity of the developed tool, data from 1200 subjects by quota sampling including 14 years old young people and adults based on three variables : region, sex and age from the 14th August to the 6th September, 1996. Among that subjects, the test-retest subjects were 50 college students and their mothers.
Factor analysis was carried out for the construct validity. The test-retest was analized with Pearson correlation coefficient for the reliability. Cronbach Alpha coefficient was calculated for item analysis.
The results were as follows :
1) After the factor analysis was applied to the assessment of the tool validity, the result showed 8 factors : emotional support, harmonious life, wholesome life, faithful life, self control, desire for a good life, adaptation to the social life and communication.

The tool developed for this study was a highly reliable and valid one to assess Korean family’s mental health and will be contributed to the development of nursing research, and also it will be an important basis for nursing theory as factor-isolating theory.
