Proposing the Clinical Inventory of Sleep Quality.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of the study was to propose the Clinical Inventory of Sleep Quality (CISQ), and compared it with the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).

Methods

We studied 400 subjects with the CISQ. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to measure the reliability, and to determine the concurrent validity, a Canonical correlation analysis was performed. At next, we used an exploratory and confirmatory Factorial analysis with Varimax rotation for validity construct calculation.

Results

Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was significantly strong (α=0.81). Canonic correlation was=0.93, suggesting that data proved that the CISQ and PSQI are measuring identical subject. Confirmatory Factorial analysis model grouped items of the scale in fou
