Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Yoruba version of Oswestry disability index

Abstract

Introduction Low-Back Pain (LBP) is a common public health problem that is often worsened by maladaptive beliefs and disability. Thus, necessitating the need for availability of outcome measures to assess these sequelae among patients with chronic LBP. This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt and determine the psychometric properties of the Yoruba version of the ODI (ODI-Y). Methods The ODI-Y was cross-culturally adapted following the process involving forward translation, synthesis, backward translation, expert review, and pilot testing. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the ODI-Y were determined using the Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation. Other psychometric properties explored included the factor structure, convergent validity, standard error of measurement and the minimal detectable change. Results One hundred and thirty-six patients with chronic LBP took part in the validation of the ODI-Y; 86 of these individuals took part in the test-retest reliability (within 1-week interval) of the translated instrument. The mean age of the respondents was 50.5±10.6years. The ODI-Y showed a high internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha (α) of 0.81. Test-retest of the Yoruba version of the ODI within 1-week interval yielded an Intra-Class Correlation coefficient of 0.89. The ODI-Y yielded a three-factor structure which accounted for 61.56% of the

Application of Patient-Reported Outcomes in Back Pain in Adults: Part 1

“…The ODI has been translated or adapted for use in patients of different nationalities, in addition to the original English version, there are the following versions: Russian [25], Spanish [28], Arabic [29], Nepalese [30], Indonesian [31], Hausa version in African languages ( distributed in the territories of Niger and the northern half of Nigeria, as well as with significant minorities in Chad, Ghana and Cameroon) [32] and Yoruba (Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Ghana) [33], in Gujarati and Punjabi languages (one of the 23 official languages of India) [34,35], in Urdu (one of the two official languages of Pakistan) [36], etc.…”

Use of the English Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) with Health Science University Students in Nepal: A Validity Testing Study

“…The nine domains of the HLQ are designed to measure the experiences people have when they engage in understanding, accessing and using health information and health services. In its development context, the HLQ was found to have strong construct validity, reliability and acceptability to clients and clinicians [ 30 , 35 ] and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has found that the items and scales in HLQ translations tend to behave in comparable ways to the English-language HLQ [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], even among disparate groups in low-resource settings [ 40 , 41 , 42 ]. HLQ data are used in pre-post evaluations and to develop profiles of health literacy strengths and needs to describe the health literacy of individuals and whole populations [ 12 , 43 ].…”
