Abstract

Introduction: Social functioning is an individual's ability to interact effectively and appropriately with his or her social environment. In psychiatry, acting on social functioning is necessary to reduce the intensity of symptoms and promote patient life in the community. This study proposes a cross-cultural validation of the Social Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ) in Moroccan dialectal Arabic.

Methods: This work consists of creating a translated version according to a rigorous methodology, including direct and reverse translation, as well as evaluation by linguistic experts. A sample of 160 participants was then selected to evaluate the psychometric properties of the SFQ in a statistical study.

Results: The validation study showed high acceptability and reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.803. The results also showed good reproducibility, with perfect inter-observer stability between the test and the retests.

Conclusion: This version of the SFQ is reliable and valid for measuring social functioning in our Moroccan population.
