| description | Background: It was aimed to adapt a 12-item questionnaire into Persian among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in Markazi province. Material and Methods: Content validity was evaluated based on the opinions of the relevant experts, and by calculating the scale-level content validity index (S-CVI) and the item-level content validity index (I-CVI). Reliability was assessed via test–retest, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and Cronbach's alpha. Results: The obtained scores on clarity and relevancy (I-CVI) ranged from 0.9 to 1. The S-CVI also had an acceptable validity of 0.99. The Cronbach's alpha index of the whole questionnaire was 0.84 and ranged from 0.69 to 0.82 for subscales. The ICC in test–retest for all questionnaires was 0.88 and for subscales ranged from 0.77 to 0.88. Conclusion: The Persian version of the 12-item human immunodeficiency virus-related stigma questionnaire was found to be, in addition to being short and comprehensive, acceptable reliability and high validity to use in order to determine the stigma related to Persian-speaker PLHIV. |
