Currently, the most useful questionnaire for determining the chronotype is the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ). It determines chronotype based on sleep-wake behavior on workdays and work-free days and uses the mid-sleep time on free days (MSF), corrected for accumulated sleep debt over the work week to classify chronotype (MSFsc). Our study aimed at validating Persian version of the MCTQ.
Participants completed the Persian version of the MCTQ, reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), and demographic characteristics.
The study sample was comprised of 250 Iranian men and women (mean age 34 years, age range 30 to 58 years, 113 men). Results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between the components of MCTQ and rMEQ, and the strongest relationship related to the MSF index. The results also showed that MCTQ parameters were not significantly related to the ESS scale. Cut-off values of MSFsc for chronotype categories were determined by inter-quartile range (Q = 3.44, Q = 4.68, and Q = 5.75).
Like the MCTQ in other languages, the Persian version of the MCTQ is a reliable tool for assessing chronotype.
目前,用于确定昼夜节律类型的最有用问卷是慕尼黑昼夜节律类型问卷(MCTQ)。它根据工作日和非工作日的睡眠-觉醒行为来确定昼夜节律类型,并使用非工作日的中间睡眠时间(MSF),校正工作周累积的睡眠债后对昼夜节律类型进行分类(MSFsc)。我们的研究旨在验证MCTQ的波斯语版本。
参与者完成了MCTQ波斯语版本、简化晨型-夜型问卷(rMEQ)、爱泼沃斯思睡量表(ESS)以及人口统计学特征调查。
研究样本包括250名伊朗男性和女性(平均年龄34岁,年龄范围30至58岁,其中113名男性)。结果显示,MCTQ各成分与rMEQ之间存在显著负相关,且与MSF指数的相关性最强。结果还显示,MCTQ参数与ESS量表无显著相关性。通过四分位数间距确定了昼夜节律类型类别的MSFsc临界值(Q = 3.44、Q = 4.68和Q = 5.75)。
与其他语言版本的MCTQ一样,MCTQ波斯语版本是评估昼夜节律类型的可靠工具。
