Abstract Study Design: Development and psychometrics study Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of a new version of cognitive appraisals of health situation scale in Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (CAHSSTSCI) in the Persian language for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).Setting: The persons were selected from National Spinal Cord Injury Registry of Iran (NSCIR-IR) and Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research center (BASIR).Method: This was a mixed sequential exploratory study that performed in two phases. In the qualitative phase, a systematic scoping review and 12 interviews with the participants were done. Finally, items were generated. In the quantitative phase, to evaluate the validity; face, content, construct and convergent validity were assessed. To evaluate construct validity, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 305 persons with TSCI, and also the reliability was examined by internal consistency and stability assessment. All quantitative data analyses were conducted using SPSS 20 software.Results: The content validity and reliability were indicated by Scale’s Content Validity Ratio (S-CVR) = 0.73 and Scale’s Content Validity Index (S-CVI) = 0.86, Cronbach’s α = 0.9 and the Test re-test reliability using intra-class correlations were (ICC) = 0.97 to 0.98. Exploratory factor analysis determined eight factors which showed more than 52% of the variance. CAHSSTSCI had a significant and strong correlation with Appraisals of DisAbility Primary and Secondary Scale (ADAPSS) (r=0.475, P < 0.001).Conclusion: Results showed the 36 items CAHSSTSCI tool had an acceptable validity and reliability in Iran and it can help health care providers or even administrators to improve the quality of the rehabilitation services and quality of life through design training programs for SCI people due to traumatic incidents..
