Purpose: The aim of this study was to validate a Persian version of the Cardiac Depression Scale (CDS) in Iranian patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: The CDS was forward translated from English into Persian and back-translated to English. Validity was assessed using face, content, and construct validity. Also Cronbach’s alpha (α), theta (θ), and McDonald’s omega coefficient were used to evaluate the reliability. Results: Construct validity of the scale showed two factors with eigenvalues greater than one. The Cronbach’s α, θ, McDonald’s omega, and construct reliability were greater than .70. Conclusion: The Persian version of the CDS has a two-factor structure (i.e., death anxiety and life satisfaction) and has acceptable reliability and validity. Therefore, the validated instrument can be used in future studies to assess depression in patients with AMI in Iranians.

Introduction: Depression following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a risk factor for future events and mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the post-AMI trajectory of depression as a risk factor for all-cause unplanned rehospitalisations. Methods: A total of 118 adults (101 men; mean±SD age = 64.76±11.16 years) completed the Cardiac Depression Scale (CDS) during and one month following AMI admission. On the basis of their CDS scores during index admission and 30 days post-AMI (≥ 95 = probable major depression) patients were categorized as having chronic; absent; recovered; or delayed depression. All-cause, unplanned rehospitalisations were sourced from electronic hospital databases (Cerner and TrakCare) from the time of the enrolment admission to census (11 th Dec 2019). Time in the study ranged from 61 days to 4.8 years. Results: A total of 41% of the sample (n = 48) had ≥ 1 all-cause unplanned rehospitalisation following their index AMI admission. Kaplan Meier Survival analyses revealed that worsening or persistent depression trajectories had earlier unplanned rehospitalisations (p < .05). Pairwise Log Rank tests showed that patients with delayed depression had significantly less time to their first all-cause unplanned rehospitalisation compared to those with absent or recovered depression (p < .05). Patients with chronic depression had significantly earlier unplanned rehospitalisations than those with recovered depression (p < .05). Cox Regression analyses revealed that chronic (HR = 9.62109 [95% CI 2.53, 36.62] and delayed depression (HR = 2.94 [95% CI 1.08, 7.97] significantly increased the risk of all-cause unplanned rehospitalisations, after adjusting for time in the study, demographic factors, illness severity, heart disease knowledge, state anxiety and psychological resilience. Conclusions: Persistent or delayed trajectories of depression from admission to 30 days following AMI independently increases the risk of all-cause unplanned hospital readmissions. Patients should be screened for depression during AMI admission and throughout the early adjustment period (2-3 months post-AMI). Further research to increase capacity to predict post-AMI depression trajectories is warranted.

Abstract Objective The spiritual well-being scale (SWBS) is a widely used clinical scale which should be evaluated for Iranian patients with cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the SWBS in Iranian patients with cancer. Method This cross-sectional, methodological study was conducted among Iranian patients with cancer (n = 400). The participants were recruited using convenience sampling. The content, construct, convergent and discriminant validity, and reliability of the Persian version of the SWBS were evaluated. Results A two-factor structure for the scale was indicated with the factors being: connecting with God and meaningless life that explained 54.18% of the total variance of the concept of spiritual well-being. The results demonstrated the model had a good fit. Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, and the inter-item correlation values of the factors indicated good internal consistency of the scale. Significance of results These results suggest that the Persian version of the SWBS is a reliable and valid measure to assess the spiritual well-being of patients with cancer through 16 items related to connecting with God and meaningless life.

Abstract Objective The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) is a widely used instrument that measures breastfeeding self-efficacy. This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Persian version of BSES-SF in Iranian mothers. Results The English version of BSES-SF was translated into Persian using the standard forward–backward translation procedure. No changes (i.e., neither delete nor rephrase the items) were made to the BSES-SF items. The mean BSES-SF total score was 50.80 ± 8.91. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for internal consistency for the BSES-SF was 0.910. The confirmatory factor analysis results provided evidence for unidimensionality of the scale (χ2/df = 4.42; CFI = 0.96; NFI = 0.95; IFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.095 and SRMR = 0.054). The divergent validity of the BSES-SF was proved via a significant negative correlation with scores of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (r = − 0.273, P < 0.001). In sum, the Persian version of the BSES-SF is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring breastfeeding self-efficacy in Iranian mothers. Trial registration number This was a cross-sectional study (not clinical trial).
