Abstract:
Background and Purpose: Congenital heart disease (CHD) increases parental caregiving burden and perceived child vulnerability. We aimed to translate the Child Vulnerability Scale (CVS) into Arabic and assess its validity and cultural relevance. Methods: Two hundred and thirty-six caregivers completed the CVS (118 CHD and 118 without CHD). Language validity, content validity index (CVI), confirmatory factor analysis, and Cronbach's alpha were used to assess psychometric properties. Results: The CVS showed strong content validity (item-CVIs ≥ .70 and scale-CVI = .95). A two-factor model showed good construct validity (loadings = .40-.78, p < .01) and excellent fit (χ²/degree of freedom = 1.86; Tucker-Lewis index = .94, comparative fit index = .96, goodness-of-fit index = .96, adjusted goodness-of-fit index = .92, root-mean-square error of approximation = .06, and standardized root-mean-square residual = .04). Reliability was acceptable (α = .80). Conclusions: The CVS-Arabic version showed strong content validity, reliability, and cultural suitability for assessing parental perceptions of child vulnerability in CHD.

01:31Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
