Abstract Objective: Prenatal behavior, including nutrition, exercise, drug use and smoking, affects health of a pregnant woman and her fetus. Psychometric evaluation of the Prenatal Health Behavior Scale (PHBS) is important for developing research on measurement of such this behavior during pregnancy.Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted in 2018. The original version was in English, and was then translated into Persian after obtaining permission from tool designer and using Backward-Forward translation.The final Persian version included 240 pregnant mothers who were selected using random cluster sampling from hospitals affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran. The factor analysis methods (exploratory and confirmatory), Pearson correlation, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient by SPSSV19 and LISRELV8.80 were used to analyze research findings.Results: Content validity and face validity were assessed by survey of 10 experts and 20 pregnant mothers.In general, the CVI was 94%.The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that all factor loadings were appropriate and significant in the initial model. Furthermore, coefficient alpha was 0.932 for prenatal health promoting behavior and 0.935 for Health-impairing behaviors. The values were acceptable and indicated the high validity of tool in the Iranian sample.Conclusion: The research findings indicated that the Prenatal Health Behavior Scale (PHBS) had acceptable psychometric properties among Iranian pregnant women and could be used as a valid tool for assessing prenatal health behavior in Iran.

Selfitis Behavior Scale

This study aimed to adapt the Selfitis Behavior Scale (SBS) to measure university students' selfitis behavior in Turkey. Within the scope of the study, the SBS was translated from English to Turkish. Data were collected in the validity and reliability studies from four study groups, including 343 university students. According to the confirmatory factor analysis findings, the SBS had good fit indices. As is expected, the criterion-related validity study found moderate- and highlevel positive correlations between the SBS subscales and total scores and the Selfie Attitude Scale (SAS) subscales and total scores. The other criterion-related validity study demonstrated that individuals taking a higher number of selfies than the sum of the scale and subscales scored significantly higher than individuals taking a lower number of selfies. The internal consistency coefficient was calculated to be .92 for the SBS total score, .78 for the Environmental Enhancement Subscale (SBS-EE), .68 for the Social Competition Subscale (SBS-SC), .72 for the AttentionSeeking Subscale (SBS-AS), .84 for the Mood Modification Subscale (SBS-MM), .82 for the SelfConfidence Subscale (SBS-S), and .70 for the Subjective Conformity Subscale (SBS-SCon). The test-retest correlation values found by applying the measurement tool once in four weeks were .77 (SBS), .70 (SBS-EE), .60 (SBS-SC), .82 (SBS-AS), .80 (SBS-MM), .61 (SBS-S), and .61 (SBSSCon), respectively. The mentioned findings demonstrated that the SBS was a valid and reliable measurement tool capable of measuring the selfitis behavior of university students in Turkey.

Abstract Background: The precise measurement of health promoting and health impairing behavior requires a reliable scale that is specifically designed for the Prenatal behavior. The purpose of the present study was to translate and psychometrically evaluate the Prenatal Health Behavior Scale (PHBS) in Iran. Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted in 2018. The original version was in English, and was then translated into Persian after obtaining permission from scale designer and using Backward-Forward translation.The final Persian version included 240 pregnant mothers who were selected using random cluster sampling from hospitals affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran. The factor analysis methods (exploratory and confirmatory), Pearson correlation, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient by SPSSV19 and LISRELV8.80 were used to analyze research findings. Results: Content validity and face validity were assessed by survey of 10 experts and 20 pregnant mothers.In general, the CVI was 94%.The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that all factor loadings were appropriate and significant in the initial model. Furthermore, coefficient alpha was 0.932 for prenatal health promoting behavior and 0.935 for Health-impairing behaviors. The values were acceptable and indicated the high validity of tool in the Iranian sample. Conclusion: The research findings indicated that the Prenatal Health Behavior Scale (PHBS) had acceptable psychometric properties among Iranian pregnant women and could be used as a valid scale for assessing prenatal health behavior in Iran.

Background: The present study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire (CECA.Q), a tool based on a retrospective interview with the child. Materials and Methods: To this aim, 251 adolescents from four regions of Tehran megacity completed the questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was examined, along with the face and content validity. In addition, the construct validity was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: EFA and CFA supported a 4-factor solution including mother’s role scale items, father’s role scale items, maternal behavior scale items, and paternal behavior scale items.  The total variance extracted in EFA ranged from 33.9 to 60.7. The internal consistency for mother’s role, father’s role, maternal behavior, and paternal behavior was 0.61, 0.65, 0.86, and 0.9 respectively. Thus, the questionnaire had a suitable fit, as well as reasonable reliability and validity. Conclusion:  The Persian version of the CECA.Q had adequate reliability and validity as a self-report measurement for childhood experience of care and abuse. [GMJ.2020;9:e1663]
