Breast cancer is now the most significant health issue in women, threatening diverse aspects of human health, including mental health and cognitive function. This research aimed to validate the Persian version of Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) in Iranian women with breast cancer.
We gathered data on 229 women with breast cancer in Tehran through convenience sampling. They completed a demographic questionnaire, the Persian version of MAAS, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and DASS-21. SPSS-22 analyzed the Pearson correlation between the Persian version of MAAS, general self-efficacy, and DASS-21. Also, LISREL 8.8 was used to analyze the internal structure of the MAAS.
Findings from the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that the model with one factor fits well with the data (χ=4.29 (=0.36); SRMR=0.058; CFI=1.0; NFI=0.91; IFI=0.95; RFI=0.97; GFI=0.90; RMSEA=0.069). Significant negative correlations were found between MAAS and DASS-21 scores for anxiety (r=-0.51), depression (r=-0.48) and stress (r=-0.49), indicating an acceptable divergent validity. There was also a positive relationship between MAAS and general self-efficacy (r=0.37; <0.01).
The Persian version of MAAS seems to be a valid scale for evaluating the extent of mindfulness of Iranian women with breast cancer.
乳腺癌目前是女性最重要的健康问题，威胁着人类健康的各个方面，包括心理健康和认知功能。本研究旨在验证伊朗乳腺癌女性中注意觉察量表（MAAS）波斯语版本的有效性。
我们通过便利抽样收集了德黑兰229名乳腺癌女性的数据。她们完成了一份人口统计学问卷、MAAS波斯语版本、一般自我效能量表和抑郁焦虑压力量表-21（DASS-21）。使用SPSS-22分析MAAS波斯语版本、一般自我效能和DASS-21之间的皮尔逊相关性。此外，使用LISREL 8.8分析MAAS的内部结构。
验证性因素分析（CFA）结果表明，单因素模型与数据拟合良好（χ=4.29（=0.36）；SRMR=0.058；CFI=1.0；NFI=0.91；IFI=0.95；RFI=0.97；GFI=0.90；RMSEA=0.069）。MAAS与DASS-21焦虑得分（r=-0.51）、抑郁得分（r=-0.48）和压力得分（r=-0.49）之间存在显著负相关，表明具有可接受的区分效度。MAAS与一般自我效能之间也存在正相关（r=0.37；<0.01）。
MAAS波斯语版本似乎是评估伊朗乳腺癌女性正念程度的有效量表。
