This descriptive correlational study describes the translation process and the psychometric testing of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The PSQI has been successfully translated into Arabic and back-translated into English by 10 Arabic bilingual translators. Then the PSQI is tested in a sample of 35 healthy Arabic bilinguals.The internal consistency reliability for the Global PSQI demonstrates borderline acceptability (Cronbach's alpha = .65). The reliability is further supported by moderate to high correlations between five PSQI components and the global PSQI score (r = .53 to .82, p < .01). Convergent validity is supported by the global PSQI correlating strongly with the Insomnia Severity Index (r = .76) and moderately with the related construct of the Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36 vitality subscale (r = -.33). Further testing of the PSQI is needed in a larger Arabic population, both clinical and healthy populations, living in their native countries.
这项描述性相关性研究描述了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）的翻译过程和心理测量测试。10名阿拉伯语双语翻译人员已成功将PSQI翻译成阿拉伯语，并回译成英语。然后，在35名健康的阿拉伯语双语者样本中对PSQI进行了测试。全球PSQI的内部一致性信度显示出临界可接受性（克朗巴哈系数α = 0.65）。五个PSQI分量表与全球PSQI得分之间的中度至高度相关性（r = 0.53至0.82，p < 0.01）进一步支持了该信度。全球PSQI与失眠严重程度指数高度相关（r = 0.76），与医学结果研究简表36活力分量表的相关结构中度相关（r = -0.33），支持了收敛效度。需要在更大的阿拉伯人群体中对PSQI进行进一步测试，包括生活在其本国的临床人群和健康人群。
