Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the factor structure, validity and reliability of the Partner-Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms Inventory (PROCSI) in university students of Tehran.
Materials and Methods: The present study included 459 married students who were selected through convenient sampling method from Tehran universities, such as Shahid Beheshti, Tehran, Shahed, Tarbiat Modares, Allameh Tabatabai, Amirkabir, Sharif and Kharazmi in the academic year of 2018-2019. This research was conducted in two steps. Firstly, after completing the translation steps, the final questionnaire was prepared. In the second stage, the PROCSI was implemented on students, along with Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), Relationship Beliefs inventory (RBI) and Obsessive Compulsive Inventory- Revised (OCI-R) scales. Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, Cronbach alpha coefficients, and the confirmatory factor analysis. The convergent and divergent validity were used based on the correlation of PROCSI with DAS, DASS, OCI-R, and RBI. The mentioned analyzes were performed based on SPSS 21 and Lisrel 8.80.
Results: The internal consistency of PROCSI was in the range of 0.42 to 0.82. The confirmatory factor analysis of PROCSI showed that six factors of it have an appropriate fitness.
Conclusion: It seems that it seems that the PROCSI has good validity and reliability to use in Iranian couples.
