The current study was aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Urdu version of the Psychosomatic Symptoms Scale (PSSS) in Pakistani patients. The PSSS is time-saving and easy to administer. The field experts drafted the translated version of PSSS. The Urdu version of PSSS, Patient Health Questionnaire- 9 (PHQ-9), and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) Urdu version were used for assessment. The translation procedure was comprised of three steps, namely forward translation, back translation, and expert panel discussion. A sample of 982 (men = 50.5% and women = 49.5%) was collected with a convenient sample technique from a general hospital and private clinic. The Cronbach's alpha for PSSS was 0.974. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed that all the items factor loading of PSSS were more than 0.35, the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) was = 0.062, the standardized root mean residual (SRMR) was = 0.043, and the comparative fit index (CFI) was = 0.97 with 90% CI. The results also showed that women ( = 72.08, = 6.79) are more likely to have psychosomatic symptoms than men ( = 51.21, = 13.36) on < 0.001. The PSSS Urdu version is proven to be a useful and reliable instrument for screening, monitoring, and assessing Pakistani patients' psychosomatics symptoms.
本研究旨在评估乌尔都语版心身症状量表（PSSS）在巴基斯坦患者中的信效度。PSSS省时且易于实施。由领域专家起草了PSSS的翻译版本。使用乌尔都语版PSSS、患者健康问卷-9（PHQ-9）和症状自评量表-90（SCL-90）乌尔都语版进行评估。翻译过程包括三个步骤，即正向翻译、回译和专家小组讨论。采用便利抽样技术从一家综合医院和私人诊所收集了982名样本（男性占50.5%，女性占49.5%）。PSSS的Cronbach's alpha系数为0.974。验证性因子分析（CFA）显示，PSSS所有项目的因子载荷均大于0.35，近似均方根误差（RMSEA）=0.062，标准化均方根残差（SRMR）=0.043，比较拟合指数（CFI）=0.97，90%置信区间。结果还显示，女性（=72.08，=6.79）比男性（=51.21，=13.36）更易出现心身症状，P<0.001。乌尔都语版PSSS被证明是筛查、监测和评估巴基斯坦患者心身症状的有效且可靠工具。
