The purpose of the study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Care Dependency Scale (CDS) in nursing homes.
Instrument development.
The English version of the CDS was translated into Persian. A convenience sample of 140 (100 older people without dementia and 40 patients with dementia) Persian-speaking people were selected from the nursing homes in Ahvaz, Iran. Cronbach's alpha, discriminant validity, and construct validity (exploratory factor analysis) were examined.
Exploratory factor analysis indicated that the CDS has two factors, including psychosocial and somatic factors. Discriminant validity showed that the CDS can differentiate patients with dementia from the older adults without dementia.
The results of the study showed that the Persian CDS is a reliable and valid scale when used in nursing homes.
The Persian version of the CDS can help clinicians and nurses to assess patients' need and the degree of care dependency among older adults in Persian-speaking areas.
本研究旨在检验波斯语版护理依赖量表（CDS）在养老院中的心理测量特性。
工具开发。
将CDS的英文版翻译成波斯语。从伊朗阿瓦士的养老院中选取了140名说波斯语的人作为便利样本（100名无痴呆的老年人和40名痴呆患者）。检验了克朗巴哈系数、区分效度和结构效度（探索性因素分析）。
探索性因素分析表明，CDS有两个因素，包括心理社会因素和躯体因素。区分效度表明，CDS能够区分痴呆患者和无痴呆的老年人。
研究结果表明，波斯语版CDS在养老院使用时是一个可靠且有效的量表。
波斯语版CDS可帮助临床医生和护士评估说波斯语地区老年人的需求及护理依赖程度。
