The Herth Hope Index (HHI) is used to measure hope. Assessing the psychometric properties of HHI in Spanish population, exploring its structural validity, the different functionalities of the items and the invariability of this measure according to the gender and age of the population. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to explore the scale's dimensionality and test for strong measurement invariance across sex and age in a cross-sectional, multicenter, prospective study. A new scale was obtained with the structure of one factor with 9 items. Goodness-of-fit indices were excellent. The internal consistency of the one dimension proved high values. The configural invariance on gender shows that both men and women understand the new HHI items, also, this research also shows that there is no scalar invariance across age groups, revealing good levels of adjustment of the item. The Spanish version of the HHI proved to be a valid, reliable instrument to assess the hope in Spanish population.
赫思希望指数（HHI）用于衡量希望。评估HHI在西班牙人群中的心理测量特性，探索其结构效度、项目的不同功能以及该测量方法根据人群性别和年龄的不变性。在一项横断面、多中心、前瞻性研究中，进行了验证性因素分析以探索量表的维度，并测试跨性别和年龄的强测量不变性。获得了一个新的量表，其结构为一个包含9个项目的因子。拟合优度指标极佳。一维的内部一致性证明具有高值。性别上的构型不变性表明男性和女性都理解新的HHI项目，此外，本研究还表明不同年龄组之间不存在标量不变性，揭示了项目的良好调整水平。HHI的西班牙语版本被证明是评估西班牙人群希望的有效、可靠工具。
