Hope is a contextual concept that has significant effects on human well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Herth Hope Index (P-HHI) among Iranian patients with cancer.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 320 patients with cancer from September to December 2020. After translating the HHI into Persian, content, convergent and discriminant, construct validity (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis), and reliability of the P-HHI were assessed.
The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the P-HHI was composed of two factors: Life Expectancy and Thinking Positive, which explained 55.20% of the total variance.
The research revealed that the P-HHI has acceptable validity and reliability, which can be used to measure the hope concept among Iranian patients with cancer.
希望是一个对人类幸福有重大影响的情境概念。本研究旨在评估伊朗癌症患者中波斯语版赫思希望指数（P-HHI）的心理测量特性。
本横断面研究于2020年9月至12月对320例癌症患者进行。将HHI翻译成波斯语后，对P-HHI的内容效度、收敛效度和区分效度、结构效度（探索性和验证性因素分析）以及信度进行评估。
探索性因素分析结果表明，P-HHI由两个因素组成：预期寿命和积极思考，这两个因素解释了总方差的55.20%。
研究表明，P-HHI具有可接受的效度和信度，可用于测量伊朗癌症患者的希望概念。
