The present study aimed to translate and determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Compassionate Care Assessment Tool (CCAT) ©.
The study was carried out to translate and validate of the CCAT©. After securing permission from the designer of the tool and translating it, the psychometric properties were determined through examining face validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test/retest reliability. With regard to construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was used so that 300 patients in internal and surgery wards were selected by a simple random sampling method from three hospitals. Data were analyzed using SPSS (v.24.0) and LISREL statistical software version 8.8.
The results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the CCAT© and its four factors. The reliability of the tool and internal consistency were confirmed through test/retest method with two weeks' interval. At the two areas of importance and provision of compassionate care, Cronbach's α coefficient equaled to 0.918 and 0.933 and intraclass consistency equaled to 0.848 and 0.907 respectively.
The results showed that the Persian version of the CCAT© was adequately valid and reliable for Iranian patients. Given the acceptable psychometric parameters of the tool, using it in future studies to measure importance and provision of compassionate nursing care to Iranian patients at internal and surgery wards is recommended.
本研究旨在翻译并确定波斯语版《关爱护理评估工具》（CCAT）© 的心理测量特性。
开展本研究以翻译并验证CCAT©。在获得该工具设计者的许可并进行翻译后，通过检查表面效度、结构效度、内部一致性和重测信度来确定其心理测量特性。关于结构效度，采用验证性因素分析，从三家医院通过简单随机抽样方法选取300名内科和外科病房的患者。使用SPSS（v.24.0）和LISREL统计软件版本8.8对数据进行分析。
验证性因素分析结果支持波斯语版CCAT©及其四个因素的效度和信度。通过间隔两周的重测法确认了该工具的信度和内部一致性。在关爱护理的重要性和提供这两个重要方面，Cronbach's α系数分别等于0.918和0.933，组内一致性分别等于0.848和0.907。
结果表明，波斯语版CCAT©对伊朗患者具有足够的效度和信度。鉴于该工具可接受的心理测量参数，建议在未来研究中使用它来衡量对伊朗内科和外科病房患者提供关爱护理的重要性。
