Translation and psychometric properties of the Persian version of the mental health quality of life (MHQoL) questionnaire.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPatients with psychiatric disorders often experience a reduced quality of life. To accurately assess their well-being, reliable and culturally appropriate tools are essential. The Mental Health Quality of Life (MHQoL) questionnaire, which has seven questions, is designed for this purpose. This study aimed to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the MHQoL tool among patients with psychiatric disorders at the psychiatric department of Baqiyatallah Hospital.
methodsThis study employed a methodological approach with a descriptive cross-sectional design. After obtaining written permission from the original developer and following the World Health Organization protocol, the Persian version of the questionnaire was administered to 300 psychiatric patients hospitalized in a psychiatric ward in Tehran from October 2022 to March 2023. Of the participants, 39% were female and 61% were male. The questionnaire's face validity, content validity, and construct validity were subsequently evaluated. To determine reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and test-retest methods were used.
resultsThrough exploratory factor analysis (N = 150) and confirmatory factor analysis (N = 150), one factor was extracted that explained 59.45% of the total observed variance. The model exhibited a good fit, with a GFI of 0.90, CFI of 0.97, IFI of 0.97, NFI of 0.95, PNFI of 0.64, RMSEA of 0.14, CMIN/DF of 3.5, and RMR of 0.049. The Persian version of the MHQoL tool demonstrated high reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.876 and an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.979.
conclusionsThe current study's findings suggest that the Persian version of the MHQoL is valid and reliable for assessing the quality of life in Persian patients with psychiatric disorders.
