To evaluate the reliability of internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha was calculated. As for criterion validity, Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated between the score of PHQ and physical dimension of quality of life questionnaire. Convergent validity of the psychological dimension of quality of life questionnaire was used. As well as to evaluate the construct validity of the PHQ exploratory factor analysis with principal components analysis was used.Results
The internal consistency by Cronbachs alpha coefficient was calculated PHQ and with correlation coefficients of .61 to .81 was confirmed. Results of exploratory factor analysis supported four factors for the PHQ. Convergent validity of the PHQ with the psychological dimension of SF-36 was calculated and statistically significant correlation was obtained. Criterion validity revealed significant negative correlation between PHQ and physical dimension SF-36.Conclusion
results showed that the PHQ in order to measure physical health of its reliability and validity.Keywords:
