Résumé
The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Farsi version of the Surgical Anxiety Questionnaire. Cross-sectional study. This study was performed on 402 patients who were candidates for elective surgery in Mashhad [East Iran) hospitals in winter 2021. After forward-backward translation, face and content validity checks were performed qualitatively. The construct validity was assessed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Data analysis was performed with SPSS 16 and AMOS 26. In exploratory factor analysis, two factors were extracted: concerns about surgery and anesthesia; and postdischarge concerns, which explained 52% of the total variance. The Cronbach's alpha for the entire questionnaire was 0.91 and for the subscales ranged from 0.80 to 0.87. The final model had a good fit as determined by confirmatory factor analysis. The Farsi version of the surgical anxiety questionnaire has acceptable validity and reliability. The existence of this scale measuring domain-specific anxiety allows for further research in this area.
