Resumo

Contexto e Objetivo: A perturbação de hiperatividade/défice de atenção (PHDA) no adulto é prevalente e incapacitante, mas permanece subdiagnosticada em muitos países de baixo e médio rendimento, em parte devido à escassez de instrumentos de rastreio culturalmente adaptados. Este estudo examinou as propriedades psicométricas de uma versão persa da Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) da Organização Mundial da Saúde em estudantes universitários. Método: Participaram 128 estudantes iranianos (52% mulheres, 48% homens), selecionados por amostragem aleatória simples. A ASRS v1.1 foi traduzida para persa através de um procedimento de tradução–retradução e revisão por peritos. Foram calculados índices de validade de conteúdo e aplicada uma abordagem psicométrica multimétodo, combinando teoria clássica dos testes, análises fatoriais exploratória e confirmatória com base em correlações policóricas e modelos de teoria de resposta ao item multidimensional. A validade convergente foi examinada através das correlações com os índices do Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales – Self‑Report: Short Version (CAARS-S:S). Resultados: As análises suportaram uma solução de 14 itens e três fatores — Problemas de Atenção, Hiperatividade e Impulsividade. O modelo apresentou ajustamento global aceitável (CFI = 0,91, NFI = 0,92, RMSEA = 0,07 e GFI = 0,89). A consistência interna foi aceitável para a pontuação total (α de Cronbach = 0,79) e boa para as três dimensões (α ≥ 0,81). Os resultados da teoria de resposta ao item indicaram limiares ordenados, discriminação adequada e boa precisão de medida em níveis baixos a moderadamente elevados de sintomas de PHDA. As pontuações da ASRS correlacionaram-se positivamente com os índices da CAARS-S:S, apoiando a validade convergente. Conclusões: A versão persa de 14 itens da ASRS v1.1 evidencia fiabilidade adequada, validade fatorial e validade convergente em estudantes universitários iranianos e parece adequada para aplicações em investigação e rastreio preliminar de sintomas de PHDA no adulto neste contexto.
