dc.description.abstract | Purpose: The aim of this study was to validate a Persian version of the Cardiac Depression
Scale (CDS) in Iranian patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). This was a
methodological study.
Methods: A demographic survey and the CDS were used for data collection. The CDS was
forward translated from English into Persian and back translated to English. Validity was
assessed using face, content and construct validity.
Results: The construct validity of the scale showed two factors with eigenvalues greater than
one. The Cronbach’s alpha, Theta, McDonald, and construct reliability were greater than .70.
Convergent and discriminant validity of the constructs were fulfilled.
Conclusions: Given the importance of mental health in risk prevention in AMI patients, the
Persian CDS is a useful screening tool for detection of depression in this patient cohort. | en_GB |
