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.

Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Educational Sciences and Psychology, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran.
Background: Attention to the heterogeneous manifestations of obsessive-compulsive symptoms observed in clinical and nonclinical populations has motivated researchers to use tools to identify homogeneous subgroups of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients. The Obsessive-Compulsive Trait Core Dimensions Questionnaire (OC-TCDQ) is used to evaluate two motivational dimensions of OCD (harm avoidance (HA) and incompleteness (INC)), which has been developed in recent years based on the core dimensions model, and to classify homogeneous subgroups. This study aimed to validate the Farsi version of the OC-TCDQ in Iran.
