Abstract
- The present study aims to translate and adapt the WHO-Five Wellbeing Index (WHO-5) into the Urdu language and then determine its psychometric properties. Male participants (N = 201) between 18 and 45 years old (M = 29.56 years, SD = 7.80) were recruited from substance use disorder treatment centers and hospitals in Karachi... Participants completed a Personal Information Form, The WHO-5, Self-Esteem Scale, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale in Urdu. The Cronbach's alpha for the WHO Wellbeing Index (Cronbach's alpha =.80) is adequate. Similarly, both the Self Esteem (Cronbach's alpha =.86) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale total (Cronbach's alpha =.94) had adequate internal consistency. Further, Cronbach's alpha for subscales (depression =.88, anxiety =.91, stress =.82) was also adequate. A higher level of well-being is significantly positively associated with self-esteem (r =.275, p <.001) and negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress (r = −.307, p <.001). The Urdu version of WHO-5 has is a reliable measure for investigating well-being in male patients receiving treatment for substance use disorders in Pakistan who speak Urdu. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
