Introduction
Methods
The methodology of this study was descriptive and validation, which was conducted in 2021 with the participation of 450 employed social workers and students who were selected by available sampling method. After obtaining permission from the designers of the questionnaire, its translation was done in accordance with the standard protocol of the World Health Organization. T-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to compare the attitudes of student and employed social workers.
Findings
Content validity indices were obtained for the whole questionnaire CVR = 0.74 and S-CVI = 0.23. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis extracted three factors: "stereotypes", "individual approach" and "structural approach". Also, the reliability of the instrument was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.68 and intra-cluster correlation of 0.75. There is a difference between the attitudes of employed social workers and students about poverty. Employed social workers were more inclined to social structure and stereotypes about poverty.
Discussion
The Persian version of the attitude towards poverty in social workers had a relatively good validity and reliability. And the use of this tool in future studies on the population of social workers is recommended.

The present study was designed with the aim of translating, adapting and standardizing the Persian version of the poverty attitude questionnaire among social workers and students in Iran and comparing their attitudes in 2021.
