Abstract

Introduction: The number of Italian citizens unaware of their risk of cardiovascular disease it is still very high.

Aim: This study aimed to translate and preliminarily validate a brief Italian version of the Perception of Risk of Heart Disease Scale (PRHDS).

Methods: PRHDS was culturally adapted to the Italian context. Then, the scale was administered to 772 healthy adults. By randomly dividing the sample into two subsamples, we tested the scale dimensionality through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) followed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Finally, we evaluated internal consistency.

Results: Psychometric properties of the scale were appropriate. EFA and CFA evidenced a unidimensional structure of a brief version of the scale, composed of six items. Internal consistency was adequate.

Conclusions: Italian version of the brief PRHDS is a promising self-report questionnaire to measure cardiovascular risk perception among Italian adults.

意大利样本中心脏病风险感知量表的心理测量特性。

引言：不知道自己患心血管疾病风险的意大利公民数量仍然很高。目的：本研究旨在翻译并初步验证心脏病风险感知量表（PRHDS）的意大利语版本。方法：PRHDS在文化上适应意大利语环境。然后，将该量表应用于772名健康成年人。通过将样本随机分为两个子样本，我们通过探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析来测试量表维度。最后，我们评估了内部一致性。结果：量表的心理测量特性是适当的。全民教育和CFA证明了由六个项目组成的简式量表的一维结构。内部一致性是足够的。结论：意大利版的简要PRHDS是一种很有前途的自我报告问卷，用于测量意大利成年人的心血管风险感知。
