本研究的目的是翻译和文化适应的意志问卷（VQ）成意大利语，并评估其在意大利人口的精神疾病患者的心理测量特性。从英语到意大利语的翻译过程是在与原始量表的作者达成协议的情况下进行的。该研究在意大利罗马的三家精神病机构进行，有33名18岁以上的精神病诊断患者，每家机构有两名评定者（共6名）。通过内部一致性、重测信度、评分者间信度和结构效度与Barthel指数、简明12项量表、Beck抑郁量表II和坎伯韦尔需要评估量表（CAN）进行比较，评估量表的心理测量学特性。结果显示，内部一致性，使用克朗巴赫的α，是显着的0.92。在重测信度评价中，组内相关系数为0.97，组间相关系数为0.99。斯皮尔曼相关分析与CAN比较有显著性差异（r =-0.45，p = 0.05）。这些结果表明，IT-VQ可能是一个有效的，标准化的和可靠的评估工具，可用于检测意大利精神病患者的人口的意志性能的改善。
The aims of this study were to translate and culturally adapt the Volitional Questionnaire (VQ) into Italian and to evaluate its psychometric properties in an Italian population of patients with psychiatric disorders. The translation process from English into Italian was carried out in agreement with the authors of the original scale. The study was carried out in three psychiatric facilities, with 33 patients with psychiatric diagnoses, who were older than 18 years, and two raters (6 total) for each facility in Rome, Italy. The psychometric properties were assessed via its internal consistency, test-retest and inter-rater reliability and construct validity through comparisons with the Barthel Index, Short Form-12, Beck Depression Inventory-II and Camberwell Assessment of Need (CAN). Results showed internal consistency, using Cronbach's alpha, was significant at 0.92. In the test-retest reliability evaluation, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.97 and the interclass correlation coefficient was 0.99. The Spearman correlation showed significant results in the comparison with the CAN (r = -0.45, p < 0.05). These results suggest that the IT-VQ may be a valid, standardized and reliable evaluation tool that can be used to detect volitional performance improvements in a population of Italian psychiatric patients.
