Abstract

Objectives

We aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Arrhythmia Specific Questionnaire in Tachycardia and Arrhythmia Health-Related Quality of Life (ASTA-HRQOL) scale into Arabic among older adult patients with any type of arrhythmia.

Methods

A forward-backward translation method was used in translating the scale to Arabic. 130 older adults diagnosed with arrhythmia were recruited by convenience sampling from February 2023 to January 2024. Psychometric analysis involved internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, floor and ceiling effects, discriminant validity, factorial validity, diagnosis accuracy, and calibration.

Results

The scale showed excellent internal consistency and reliability. Convergent and discriminant validity were emphasized, and confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good fit of the model following modification. The cut-off point for discriminating between poor and good quality of life was 13.5, and the area under the curve was 0.95.

Conclusion

The ASTA-HRQOL Arabic questionnaire presented globally good psychometric properties among older adult patients with arrhythmia.

目的：我们的目的是在任何类型心律失常的老年成人患者中翻译和文化适应心律失常过速和心律失常健康相关生活质量（ASTA-HRQOL）量表的心律失常特定问卷。方法：采用前向向后翻译法将量表翻译成阿拉伯文，于2023年2月至2024年1月采用方便抽样的方法招募了130名诊断为心律失常的老年人。心理测量分析包括内部一致性、重测信度、收敛效度、下限和上限效应、判别效度、析因效度、诊断准确性和校准。结果：量表具有良好的内部一致性和信度。强调了收敛效度和判别效度，验证性因子分析表明修正后的模型具有良好的拟合性。区分生活质量差和生活质量好的分界点为13.5，曲线下面积为0.95。结论：ASTA-HRQOL阿拉伯语问卷在老年心律失常患者中具有良好的心理测量特性。
