The present study investigates content validity of the open-ended items in Cultural Formulation Interview in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5).
After translating into Persian and assessing the content validity of the items and their modification by psychiatrists, the questionnaire was translated back into English by two translators and then retranslated into Persian. The final Persian version and its back-translation were submitted for approval to the DSM-5 design workshop in the United States. After obtaining the group's approval on the back-translation and permission to use the questionnaire, samples were distributed among panel members and the content validity of the questionnaire was thus examined.
The content validity index (CVI) of cultural formulation interview was 0.51 and all the items were acceptable although some, especially those on the cultural perception of the context and the cultural factors affecting current help-seeking, had lower content validity ratios (CVR).
The cultural formulation interview seems to have an overall acceptable content validity although it is weak and thus needs further studies in relation to the two domains of the cultural perception of the context and the cultural factors affecting help-seeking in the Iranian population.
本研究调查《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第5版(DSM-5)中文化定式访谈开放式条目的内容效度。
将问卷翻译成波斯语,经精神科医生评估条目内容效度并进行修改后,由两名翻译人员再翻译成英语,然后重新翻译成波斯语。最终的波斯语版本及其回译版本提交给美国的DSM-5设计研讨会审批。在获得该小组对回译版本的批准及使用问卷的许可后,将样本分发给小组成员,从而检验问卷的内容效度。
文化定式访谈的内容效度指数(CVI)为0.51,所有条目均可接受,尽管有些条目,尤其是关于情境的文化认知和影响当前求助行为的文化因素的条目,其内容效度比(CVR)较低。
文化定式访谈似乎总体上具有可接受的内容效度,尽管其较弱,因此在伊朗人群中,需要针对情境的文化认知和影响求助行为的文化因素这两个领域开展进一步研究。
