Abstract

Background: The primary objective of the current paper was to assess the psychometric attributes of the Persian version of the Online Gambling Symptom Assessment Scale (P-OGSAS) within the Iranian population.

Methods: The current study was conducted through a convenient sampling method between September and November 2021, involving 187 participants who had experienced online gambling at least once a month for the last 3 months. OGSAS was translated from English into Persian using the forward-backward translation method. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and principal component analysis (PCA) were employed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale, respectively. Participants were administered a battery of assessments, including P-OGSAS, Persian Gambling Disorder Screening Questionnaire (GDSQ-P), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Items (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GADQ-7), to assess validity and reliability.

Findings: The results showed that the 3-factor model of this scale provides the highest level of predictability. The 3-factor model accounts for 54.8% of the square load. With a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.807, P-OGSAS demonstrated satisfactory reliability. Finally, OGSAS has a significant correlation with other scales, and as a result, this scale has suitable convergent validity.

Conclusion: P-OGSAS can adequately assess the symptoms and severity of online gambling. Therefore, clinicians could use this scale to evaluate the problems related to online gambling in the Iranian population.

网上赌博症状评估量表波斯语版在伊朗人群中的心理测量特性研究》。

背景本文的主要目的是评估波斯语版在线赌博症状评估量表（P-OGSAS）在伊朗人群中的心理测量属性：本研究于 2021 年 9 月至 11 月间通过方便抽样法进行，共有 187 名参与者参与，他们在过去 3 个月中每月至少经历过一次在线赌博。采用前后向翻译法将 OGSAS 从英语翻译成波斯语。采用克朗巴赫α系数和主成分分析法（PCA）分别评估量表的信度和效度。对参与者进行了一系列评估，包括 P-OGSAS、波斯语赌博障碍筛查问卷（GDSQ-P）、患者健康问卷-9（PHQ-9）和广泛焦虑症问卷（GADQ-7），以评估其有效性和可靠性：结果表明，该量表的 3 因子模型具有最高的可预测性。3 因子模型占平方负荷的 54.8%。P-OGSAS 的 Cronbach's alpha 系数为 0.807，显示出令人满意的可靠性。最后，OGSAS 与其他量表具有显著的相关性，因此，该量表具有适当的收敛效度：结论：P-OGSSAS 能充分评估网络赌博的症状和严重程度。因此，临床医生可以使用该量表来评估伊朗人群中与网络赌博有关的问题。
