Popis: Objectives: Measuring parent satisfaction with neonatal hearing screening programs is one of the most important indicators for assessing the quality and effectiveness and a useful instrument to identify service shortfalls. The aims of this study were to translate and adapt Parent Satisfaction Questionnaire with Neonatal Hearing Screening Programs (PSQ-NHSPs) to Persian language, determine the validity and reliability of this translation, and determine the level of parent satisfaction with neonatal hearing screening programs in Iran. Methods: Translated Persian version of the original English PSQ-HNSPs was presented to 138 parents whose children had received hearing screening before discharge from hospital. Results: The majority of parents responded strongly agree or agree to all dimensions of the questionnaire: overall satisfaction (90.6), personnel in charge of hearing test (60.1), and appointment activities (58). Good internal consistency reliability (a=0.89) and moderate test-retest reliability (r=0.61) of the Persian version of PSQ-NHSPs were indicated. Construct validity was demonstrated by a significant positive relationship between overall satisfaction and specific dimensions in the questionnaire. Conclusion: The Persian version of PSQ-NHSPs is a valid and reliable tool to assess the level of parent satisfaction with neonatal hearing screening programs. © 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
