TI  - The translation and psychometric assessment of the persian version of the sheehan 
      disability scale.
PG  - 125-32
AB  - OBJECTIVE: The Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) assesses disability in four domains 
      of home management, work responsibilities, close relationships and social life. 
      The main objective of this study was to develop the Persian version of the SDS. 
      METHOD: Two steps of field work followed the Persian translation and cultural 
      adaptation of the tool: First, the internal consistency and convergent validity 
      was examined in 104 clinical cases recruited from inpatient and outpatient 
      psychiatric services, using 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Global 
      Assessment of Functioning (GAF). Then 88 individuals were randomly selected from 
      the adult general population to assess internal consistency, inter-rater 
      reliability and known group validity. RESULTS: In the clinical settings, 
      Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.88 and item-total correlation ranged from 0.71 to 
      0.78 in various domains. The correlation between SDS and SF-36 (P< 0.001) was 
      significant in all the areas of the performance; and neither of the correlations 
      was statistically significant when SDS and GAF were compared. In the general 
      population study, the SDS met a good internal consistency (alpha = 0.81) and known 
      group validity, and the inter-rater reliability was perfect for "school/work 
      responsibility ." CONCLUSION: The Persian translation of the SDS is a simple and 
      short scale, and it seems to be a valid scale for the measurement of disability 
      in clinical settings and in the Iranian general population.
