This study was undertaken to assess the psychometric properties of the Perceived Barriers to Healthcare-Seeking Decision (PBHSD) scale in Iranian patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). In this methodological study conducted from February to June 2022, 255 patients with ACS completed the Farsi version of the PBHSD scale. The study focused on evaluating the face, content, and construct validity of this scale. Additionally, reliability was assessed through measures of internal consistency, including Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's omega, and stability through test-retest analysis. The mean age of the patients in the study was 47.12 ( = 17.25). Construct validity analysis revealed a single independent factor with an eigenvalue greater than 1, explaining 61.23% of the extracted variance. Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation coefficient were both greater than 0.70 that proved validity of the PBHSD scale. The study's findings indicate that the Farsi version of the PBHSD is both valid and reliable. Consequently, it can be effective to assess and evaluate healthcare-seeking decisions in Iranian patients with ACS.
本研究旨在评估伊朗急性冠状动脉综合征（ACS）患者的就医决策感知障碍（PBHSD）量表的心理测量特性。在这项于2022年2月至6月进行的方法学研究中，255例ACS患者完成了PBHSD量表的波斯语版本。该研究重点评估了该量表的表面效度、内容效度和结构效度。此外，通过内部一致性测量（包括克朗巴哈α系数和麦克唐纳ω系数）评估信度，并通过重测分析评估稳定性。研究中患者的平均年龄为47.12岁（标准差=17.25）。结构效度分析显示存在一个特征值大于1的独立因素，解释了提取方差的61.23%。克朗巴哈α系数和组内相关系数均大于0.70，证明了PBHSD量表的有效性。研究结果表明，PBHSD的波斯语版本既有效又可靠。因此，它可以有效地评估和评价伊朗ACS患者的就医决策。
