Abstract

Background: Having meaning in life is a protective factor for psychological well-being. Accurate assessment of this construct needs a valid and reliable tool.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Farsi version of the meaning of life questionnaire in patients with cancer.

Method: In this cross-sectional study, after translating the questionnaire to Farsi, in a sample of 212 patients with cancer, feasibility, content and convergent validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, stability, and responsiveness were evaluated.

Results: The results show that the content validity ratio of all ten items was greater than 0.49. Also, the modified Kappa coefficient of each item was greater than 0.6. The maximum likelihood exploratory factor analysis extracted one factor, which explains 76.13% of the total variance of the sample. Item nine was removed. The confirmatory factor analysis results show that the one-factor model had good fit indices. The Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, composite reliability, MaxR, and intraclass correlation coefficient were 0.96, 0.96, 0.96, 0.96, and 0.98, respectively. The questionnaires had responsiveness and its response time was 3 s.

Conclusion and policy summary: The nine-item Farsi version of the meaning of life questionnaire has good validity and reliability and responsiveness.

伊朗癌症患者波斯语版的生命意义:一项心理测量学研究。

背景:生活有意义是心理健康的保护因素。准确评估这种结构需要一个有效和可靠的工具。目的:本研究旨在评估波斯语版生命意义问卷对癌症患者的心理测量特性。方法:采用横断面研究方法，将问卷翻译成波斯语后，在212例癌症患者样本中进行可行性、内容和收敛效度、探索性和验证性因子分析、内部一致性、稳定性和响应性评价。结果:10个条目的内容效度比均大于0.49。各项目的修正Kappa系数均大于0.6。最大似然探索性因子分析提取了1个因子，解释了样本总方差的76.13%。第9项被删除。验证性因子分析结果表明，单因素模型具有较好的拟合指标。Cronbach’s alpha、McDonald’s omega、复合信度、MaxR和类内相关系数分别为0.96、0.96、0.96、0.96和0.98。问卷具有反应性，反应时间为3 s。结论与政策总结:波斯语版九题生活意义问卷具有较好的效度、信度和响应性。

期刊介绍： Chronic illnesses are prolonged, do not resolve spontaneously, and are rarely completely cured. The most common are cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure), the arthritides, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and epilepsy. There is increasing evidence that mental illnesses such as depression are best understood as chronic health problems. HIV/AIDS has become a chronic condition in those countries where effective medication is available.
