OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to adapt the Mindful Eating Scale (MES) for use in China and to assess its psychometric properties among individuals who are overweight or obese.
METHODS: The MES was translated and back-translated following the modified Brislin translation model. After expert review and pretesting, the scale underwent cross-cultural adaptation. Study participants were recruited from individuals who are overweight or obese and admitted to the endocrinology outpatient department of a hospital in Hangzhou. The psychometric properties of the cross-culturally adapted MES were subsequently evaluated.
RESULTS: A total of 221 questionnaires were distributed, of which 217 were returned, yielding a valid response rate of 98.19%. The cross-cultural adaptation of the MES consisted of 6 dimensions and 23 items. It demonstrated a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.905, an item-total correlation reliability of 0.833, and a retest reliability of 0.915. The chi-square-to-degrees-of freedom ratio (χ2 /df) was 1.954, the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) was 0.066, the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) was 0.862, the adjusted goodness-of-fit index (AGFI) was 0.818, the comparative fit index (CFI) was 0.964, and the Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) was 0.956.
CONCLUSION: The cross-culturally adapted MES demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties. However, because dietary habits vary across regions and this study was limited to a specific region of China, further research is needed to determine whether the MES is a suitable instrument for assessing mindful eating levels among Chinese individuals who are overweight or obese.
