Psychometric Validation of Culturally Adapted Tool for Measuring Attitudes Toward Domestic Violence
INTRODUCTION: Domestic violence against women (DVAW) is a global health issue, particularly in areas with patriarchal norms and a lack of culturally relevant assessment tools. We developed a culturally adapted questionnaire to measure community attitudes toward DVAW in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving expert review, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and assessments of internal consistency. The study included …
Mediating effect of fear of happiness between intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety among Lebanese adults
Fear of happiness represents the negative feelings that emerge as one apprehends or experiences the positive emotion of happiness. This experience is intrinsically related to intolerance of uncertainty, the apprehension of the unknown, and symptoms of anxiety.

Psychometric Properties and Rasch Validation of the Herth Hope Index in a Sample of Portuguese Higher Education Students During a Pandemic
A greater understanding of health-promoting factors, such as hope, is crucial for preventing and enhancing the mental health of higher education students. The Herth Hope Index (HHI) is a 12-item tool that has been widely used to assess a comprehensive, non-temporal perception of hope. While this instrument has been used extensively in adult populations, most studies focus on clinical populations. Additionally, the HHI reveals inconsistencies in t…

More investigations are needed to confirm UCLALS3 invariance across countries
The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales for Youth (Dass-Y)
Background The present study aimed to validate the Arabic version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale for Youth (DASS-Y) and to evaluate the psychometric properties of a shortened 12-item version (DASS-Y-12) guided by the structure and item content of the adult DASS-12.Methods In this cross-sectional study, 758 adolescents completed the survey, using a snowball sampling technique.Results CFA indicated that the fit of the three-factor model of …
A psychometric analysis of the Arabic version of the PHQ-9 for depression screening in cardiovascular disease patients
The Arabic PHQ-9 is a reliable and effective tool for depression screening in Omani patients with HF. Its ease of administration make it a valuable resource for mental health assessments and preventative interventions in cardiovascular care settings
The Arabic Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and its three-item version
The Arabic SWLS-3 is a unidimensional ultra-brief measure, which demonstrates measurement invariance along with high internal consistency, convergent validity, and predictive validity similar to the parent scale. It may mirror other constructs of well-being (e.g., positive affect) and psycho-pathogenicity (negative affect and somatic complaints)
The Mediating Role of Self-Control Between Parental Attachment and Adolescent Delinquency
Adolescent delinquency is a major concern in Iranian society, influenced by familial and social factors. The present study examined whether self-control mediated the relationship between parental attachment and delinquency among 528 adolescents (63% female) aged 15–17 years recruited from high schools in Tehran. Mediation analysis showed that stronger parental attachment was associated with greater self-control, which in turn predicted lower deli…
Psychometric properties of the Benign and Malicious Envy Scale
BACKGROUND: The Benign and Malicious Envy Scale (BeMaS) is designed to assess the trait of envy and evaluate individual differences in people's tendency to experience benign or malicious envy towards superior comparison standards. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the factor structure of the BeMaS in Arab culture through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and to ensure the measurement equivalence of the benign and malicious envy sc…
Psychometric evaluation of the depression anxiety stress scale 8-items (Dass-8)/Dass-12/Dass-21 among family caregivers of patients with dementia
Patients with dementia express a set of problematic and deteriorating symptoms, along with self-care dependency. Over time, the mental health of family caregivers of persons with dementia may be affected, putting them at a high risk for psychopathology, which may be associated with endangered wellbeing of people with dementia. This cross-sectional instrumental design study examined the psychometric properties of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scal…
Nurses experience of caring for patients with Covid-19
Health care institutions should consider establishing programs that promote nurses' wellbeing and support their productivity in a crisis. A danger pay allowance should be considered for nurses during extraordinary circumstances, such as pandemics
E-learning for Students With Disabilities During Covid-19
Faculty at the special education department of the University held mixed concerns about e-learning opportunities for Students with Disabilities (SWD) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research investigated their attitude using a questionnaire survey. The sample was 70 faculty members who specialized in tutoring students with disabilities. The Pearson regression (0.655) established the reliability of the data collection instrument. The results sh…
Nutrition Assessment of Under-Five Children in Sudan
Global stunting prevalence was at 36.35 percent including moderate stunting prevalence and severe stunting prevalence (21.25 percent and 15.06 percent respectively). Global wasting prevalence was 13.6 percent including moderate wasting prevalence and severe wasting prevalence (10.8 percent and 2.7 percent respectively). Sudan has made great progress in achieving the target of increasing exclusive breastfeeding. However, despite the welcome commit…
Predictors of Nutritional Status, Depression, Internet Addiction, Facebook Addiction, and Tobacco Smoking Among Women With Eating Disorders in Spain
Eating disorders (EDs) are a complex group of psychiatric conditions that involve dysfunctional eating patterns, nutritional alterations, and other comorbid psychopathologies. Some women with EDs may develop problematic internet use while they attempt to get information on dieting/weight control or get online support from people with similar problems. They may also drift toward tobacco smoking as a method to regulate their weight or to cope with …
The Six-Item Version of the Internet Addiction Test
Internet addiction (IA) is widespread, comorbid with other conditions, and commonly undetected, which may impede recovery. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) is widely used to evaluate IA among healthy respondents, with less agreement on its dimensional structure. This study investigated the factor structure, invariance, predictive validity, criterion validity, and reliability of the IAT among Spanish women with eating disorders (EDs, N = 123), Ch…
The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21
Despite extensive investigations of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) since its development in 1995, its factor structure and other psychometric properties still need to be firmly established, with several calls for revising its item structure. Employing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), this study examined the factor structure of the DASS-21 and five shortened versions of the DASS-21 among psychiatric patients (N = 168) and the…
Psychological Climacteric Symptoms and Attitudes toward Menopause among Emirati Women
Menopause is an inevitable developmental event that women encounter at an age of 42-54 years. The drop of estrogen levels that accompanies cessation of menstruation is associated with multiple vasomotor, physical, neuropsychological, and sexual symptoms, which may hamper quality of life. This study aimed to examine the severity of psychological symptoms and their correlates among peri- and postmenopausal Emirati women (N = 60, mean age = 54.88 ± …

A Multilevel Analysis of Neighbourhood Built and Social Environments and Adult Self-Reported Physical Activity and Body Mass Index in Ottawa, Canada
Canadian research examining the combined effects of social and built environments on physical activity (PA) and obesity is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among built and social environments and PA and overweight/obesity in 85 Ottawa neighbourhoods. Self-reported PA, height and weight were collected from 3,883 adults using the International PA Questionnaire from the 2003-2007 samples of the Rapid Risk Factor …
Intensive hog farming operations and self-reported health among nearby rural residents in Ottawa, Canada
While our findings suggest that living in close proximity to an IHF may adversely affect HRQOL these should be interpreted cautiously due to a lack of direct measures of environmental exposures, and possible biases inherent in the use of self-reported health measures
