Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to conduct a psychometric validation of the Chinese version of the Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) and to explore the association between metacognitive factors and post-traumatic growth (PTG).

Methods: 313 young and middle-aged patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were recruited between October 2023 and June 2024 from a tertiary hospital in Zhengzhou, China. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test established factor structures of the MCQ-30. The reliability tests, criterion-related validity analyses, and regression models were conducted.

Results: CFA results supported the five-factor structure of the MCQ-30, with satisfactory model fit and good reliability. Criterion-related validity was also supported by significant positive correlations between the five factors and depression/anxiety symptoms. All five metacognition factors were also significantly correlated with PTG.

Conclusion: The findings support the use of the Chinese version of the MCQ-30 as a potentially reliable and valid instrument for assessing metacognitive beliefs in young and middle-aged AMI patients. Given the sampling method and cross-sectional design, results should be interpreted cautiously. Further research with larger sample sizes, and longitudinal design is needed to validate the above results.

中青年急性心肌梗死患者的元认知：元认知问卷的心理测量学研究

目的：对中文版元认知问卷-30 （MCQ-30）进行心理计量学验证，探讨元认知因素与创伤后成长（PTG）的关系。方法：于2023年10月至2024年6月在中国郑州某三级医院招募313例中青年急性心肌梗死（AMI）患者。采用验证性因子分析（CFA）对MCQ-30已建立的因子结构进行检验。进行信度检验、效标相关效度分析及回归模型分析。结果：CFA结果支持MCQ-30的五因子结构，模型拟合满意，信度良好。这五个因素与抑郁/焦虑症状之间的显著正相关也支持了标准相关效度。五种元认知因素均与PTG显著相关。结论：本研究结果支持使用中文版MCQ-30作为评估中青年AMI患者元认知信念的潜在可靠和有效的工具。考虑到抽样方法和横断面设计，结果应谨慎解释。以上结果需要进一步的大样本量研究和纵向设计来验证。
