The present study was designed to validate an English version of the mental health literacy scale into Persian, in Iran. Statistical population consisted of all residents of 22 municipal districts of Tehran, Iran, in 2018. Multistage sampling methods were used (sample size = 1026). All participants filled the Mental Health Literacy scale; 12-item General Health Questionnaire; Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale and a demographic checklist. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the intra-class correlation coefficient was used for analysing data. All analyses were run with SPSS and AMOS Graphics version 18. Exploratory factor analysis revealed five components (24 items) explaining 21.68%, 20.24%, 8.97%, 6.48% and 5.36% of the variance respectively (totally explained variance = 62.74%). Confirmatory factor analysis showed an acceptable goodness-of-fit (CMIN/DF = 3.19, GFI = 0.887, CFI = 0.893, IFI = 0.894, TLI = 0.877, RMSEA = 0.065). The values of Cronbach's alpha showed satisfactory internal consistency. Two clinical correlates of mental health literacy were investigated. The structure of the mental health literacy scale was to some extent different from the one in O'Connor et al. study, but it was consistent with the definition of MHL presented by Jorm et al. This is the first Persian version of the MHL in the general population in Iran and undoubtedly needs to be checked on more studies.
本研究旨在将心理健康素养量表的英文版验证为波斯语，在伊朗进行。统计人群包括 2018 年伊朗德黑兰 22 个市辖区的所有居民。采用多阶段抽样方法（样本量=1026）。所有参与者都填写了心理健康素养量表、12 项一般健康问卷、多维健康控制源量表和人口统计学检查表。采用探索性和验证性因子分析，组内相关系数用于分析数据。所有分析均使用 SPSS 和 AMOS Graphics 版本 18 进行。探索性因子分析显示，五个成分（24 项）分别解释了 21.68%、20.24%、8.97%、6.48%和 5.36%的方差（总解释方差为 62.74%）。验证性因子分析显示，拟合度良好（CMIN/DF=3.19，GFI=0.887，CFI=0.893，IFI=0.894，TLI=0.877，RMSEA=0.065）。克朗巴赫的阿尔法值显示出令人满意的内部一致性。研究了心理健康素养的两个临床相关性。心理健康素养量表的结构在某种程度上与 O'Connor 等人的研究不同，但与 Jorm 等人提出的心理健康素养定义一致。这是伊朗普通人群中第一个波斯语版的心理健康素养量表，无疑需要在更多的研究中进行检验。
