| description | Background — Increasing access to smartphones has led some researches to focus in this regard.
Objective — the current study aimed to determine psychometric properties of the Persian version of Problematic Cellular Phone Use Questionnaire (PCPU-Q) among medical student at Kerman University of Medical Sciences.
Material and Methods — A cross-sectional study carried out on 351 medical students. Data collected using a questionnaire including demographic data and the Persian versions of PCPU-Q. The higher score indicates a greater problem. Data analyzed by SPSS 20 and Lisrel 8.8. Cronbach’s alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis used for determining the reliability and construct validity of the questionnaire, respectively.
Results — One hundred and seventy-two (49.0%) of the students had a problematic CPU. Cronbach’s alpha and ICC were 0.8 and 0.91, respectively. The model had acceptable goodness of fit indices in confirmatory factor analysis.
Conclusion — The Persian version of PCPU-Q had good psychometric properties and can be useful for screening of problematic CPU among Iranian youth. |
