Introduction:
Professional values are essential for ethical and high-quality radiologic practice. Although the Radiologic Technologists' Perceptions of Professional Values Scale (RTPPVS) is widely used, a validated Persian version has been lacking. This study aimed to translate the RTPPVS into Persian and evaluate its psychometric properties among Iranian radiologic technologists.
Methods:
In this methodological study, 230 radiologic technologists in Iran were recruited using convenience sampling. The scale was translated through a standard forward-backward procedure. Face validity, content validity, construct validity, and reliability were assessed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA/CFA) were used to examine construct validity. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
Results:
The Persian RTPPVS demonstrated acceptable content validity (S-CVI = 0.86), with all items meeting Lawshe's criteria. EFA supported a five-factor structure explaining 66 % of the variance. Three items were removed, resulting in a 31-item scale. CFA indicated good model fit (RMSEA = 0.047; CFI = 0.923; GFI = 0.923). The scale showed excellent internal consistency (α = 0.961) and good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.88).
Conclusion:
The Persian version of the RTPPVS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing professional values among Iranian radiologic technologists.
Implications For Practice:
This scale can inform professional education, workforce development, and research aimed at strengthening ethical and professional standards in radiologic practice.
