Abstract

Background: Entrapment is the feeling of wanting to leave an unbearable situation but believing that there are no options to do so. An Arabic entrapment Scale will assist healthcare professionals in the region in the prevention of suicide as the tool is tailored to the specific sociocultural context, which would enhance entrapment detection.

Objective: In the current study, we aim to evaluate the psychometric properties of a translated Arabic version of the Entrapment Scale Short Form (E-SF).

Methods: Three hundred eighty-nine Lebanese citizens were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.

Results: The mean age of participants was 23.03 years (SD = 2.93), 69.4% being women. To examine the factor structure of the entrapment scale, we used an exploratory-to-confirmatory factor analysis (EFA-to-CFA) strategy. EFA and CFA results indicated that the fit of the unidimensional model of the Arabic Entrapment Scale (A-ES) was generally acceptable. Composite reliability of scores was adequate in the total sample (ω = .87). All indices suggested that configural, metric, and scalar invariance was supported across genders. Entrapment was positively and significantly correlated with suicidal ideation, alcohol use disorder, psychological distress, and orthorexia nervosa, suggesting convergent and divergent validity.

Conclusion: The A-ES was found to be a valid and reliable tool to assess the degree of entrapment in Lebanese young adults. The A-ES will assist healthcare professionals in the region in the prevention of suicide as the tool is tailored to the specific sociocultural context, which would enhance entrapment detection.

在非临床样本的年轻成年人中，阿拉伯语翻译的简易禁锢量表的心理计量特性。

背景：诱导是指一种想离开无法忍受的环境，但又认为别无选择的感觉。阿拉伯语禁锢量表将有助于该地区的医护人员预防自杀，因为该工具是根据特定的社会文化背景量身定制的，这将加强对禁锢的检测：在本研究中，我们旨在评估阿拉伯语翻译版诱捕量表简表（E-SF）的心理测量特性：这项横断面研究共招募了 389 名黎巴嫩公民：参与者的平均年龄为 23.03 岁（SD = 2.93），69.4% 为女性。为了研究诱捕量表的因子结构，我们采用了探索性到确认性因子分析（EFA-to-CFA）策略。EFA 和 CFA 结果表明，阿拉伯语禁锢量表（A-ES）单维模型的拟合度总体上可以接受。在所有样本中，分数的综合信度是适当的（ω = .87）。所有指标都表明，在不同性别之间，构型、度量和标度都具有不变量。禁锢与自杀意念、酒精使用障碍、心理困扰和神经性厌食症呈显著正相关，表明其具有收敛性和发散性：结论：研究发现，A-ES 是一种有效、可靠的工具，可用于评估黎巴嫩青壮年的被困程度。A-ES 将帮助该地区的医疗保健专业人员预防自杀，因为该工具是根据特定的社会文化背景量身定制的，这将提高夹带检测的效率。
