Cultural adaptation and psychometric adequacy of the Persian version of the physical activity scale for the elderly (P-PASE).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This cross sectional study was conducted to investigate cultural adaption and validation of the Persian version of the PASE among the elderly community dwellers in Iran. Out of 278 elderly people, 65% of them were female. After translation and cultural adaption, the PASE was evaluated with respect to the validity and reliability. Regarding the construct validity, the concurrent validity was assessed between the PASE and ADL, IADL, self-rated health, and TUG test.

Results

The mean score of P-PASE was equal to 153.73 ± 48.47. P-PASE scores were significantly and negatively correlated with TUG (r = - 0.691, P < 0.001) and age (r = - 791, P > 0.001), and were also significantly correlated with ADL (r = 0.775, P < 0.001), and IADL (r = 0.161, P < 0.001). The ICC was obtained as 0.92 (95% CI 0.90-0.94), 0.86 (95% CI 0.82-0.87), and 0.91 (95% CI 0.90-0.94) for the leisure time activity, household activity, and work-related activity scores, respectively. The Cronbachs̓ alpha coefficient was equal to 0.74, 0.74, and 0.79, respectively for leisure time activity, household activity, and work-related activity domains.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt and psychometrically validate a Persian version of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-P) and to identify the main barriers in an Iranian setting.SettingAfshar cardiac rehabilitation (CR) centre, affiliated with the Yazd University of Medical Sciences, in the centre of Iran.DesignThis was a multimethod study, culminating in a cross-sectional survey.ParticipantsInpatient CR graduates who did not attend their initial outpatient CR appointment.MethodThe 21-item CRBS was translated and cross-culturally adapted in accordance with best practices; an expert panel considered the items and previous non-attending patients were interviewed via phone to refine the scale. Next, structural validity was assessed; participants were invited to complete the CRBS on the phone between March 2017 and February 2018. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with principal component analysis extraction and oblique rotation. Second, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to verify the results; several goodness-of-fit indices were considered. The internal consistency and 3-week test-retest reliability of the scale (5% subsample) were evaluated using Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation (ICC), respectively.ResultsFace, content and cross-cultural validity were established by the experts and patients (n=50). One thousand and one hundred (40.7%) of the 2700 patients completed the CRBS-P. Structural validity was established by EFA (Bartlett's test p<0.001; =0.759) and confirmed by the CFA; a four-factor solution with 18 items accounting for 61.256% of variance had the best fit (χ2/df=3.206, root mean square error of approximation=0.061 and Comparative Fit Index=0.959). The internal consistency and test-retest reliability (n=42) of the scale were acceptable (ICC=0.743 95% CI (0.502 to 0.868); overall α=0.797). The top barriers were not knowing about CR, cost and lack of encouragement from physicians.ConclusionThe four-factor, 18-item CRBS-P had good psychometric properties, and hence can be reliably and validly used to measure CR barriers in Iran and other Persian-speaking populations.

Project description:BackgroundThe decisions individuals make regarding oral health reflect their values. Prioritizing oral and dental health is essential for public health. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Oral Health Values Questionnaire.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 500 adults aged 18 years and older at health centers in Shiraz in 2023. The Original Oral Health Values Scale (OHVS) questionnaire was translated into Persian using a forward-backward translation. Participants completed the Persian version of the OHVS, which comprises a 12-item scale with a four-factor structure: professional dental care, appearance and health, flossing, and preservation of natural teeth. The Content Validity Index (CVI), Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Scale-Level Content Validity Index (S-CVI/Ave) were assessed. Test-retest reliability and Cronbach's alpha were used to evaluate the internal consistency of the questionnaire. To determine the adequacy of the sample size, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) index, with a minimum value of 0.7, Bartlett's test of sphericity, eigenvalues greater than 1, and the Varimax rotation method were utilized, using SPSS Version 24 statistical software.ResultsAll questions demonstrated satisfactory Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI), scoring above the expected thresholds of 0.8 and 0.9, respectively. The test-retest correlation results confirmed the reliability of the questionnaire, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.7 for all questions and their sub-areas. Internal consistency was also established usings domains. Factor analysis revealed four primary components with eigenvalues greater than 1, which collectively accounted for 58.963% of the total variance.ConclusionsThe Persian version of the OHVS demonstrated excellent validity and reliability. Consequently, it can be regarded as a reliable and valuable tool for epidemiological and behavioral dental studies.
