“…The internal consistency of the FreBAQ-I was good (0.82) and quite similar to that reported by the developers (0.80) [ 11 ]. Similar results were found in other versions of the questionnaires: Japanese 0.80 [ 13 ]; Dutch 0.82 [ 18 ]; German 0.91 [ 19 ]; Turkish 0.87 [ 20 ]; Chinese 0.83 [ 21 ], Indian 0.91 [ 22 ], Spanish 0.82 [ 23 ] and Persian 0.74 [ 24 ].…”

“…Test–retest repeatability demonstrated an excellent level of agreement between the results on days 1 and 8 (ICC (2,1) = 0.88), a value higher than those reported in the original study (0.65) [ 10 ], while in the other validations, values were of 0.69 [ 18 ], 0.78 [ 23 ] and 0.90 [ 21 ]. The better reliability noted in this investigation may reflect the fact that no treatment was provided to participants between the two testing occasions, a control not enacted in the original study [ 10 ].…”

“…The MDC 95 demonstrated that a change of more than 7 points after a given intervention (~ 19% of the FreBAQ score range of 36 points) would not be the result of an error in measurement. Slightly different findings were achieved by the Dutch study (where the MDC was estimated at 10.8 points) [ 18 ] and the Persian study (2.52 points) [ 24 ], while the validation of the Chinese and the Spanish version of the FreBAQ reported an MDC 95 of 5.99 and 5.12 points, respectively [ 21 ].…”

Background and aim There is evidence to suggest that assessing back-specific altered self-perception may be useful when seeking to understand and manage low back pain (LBP). The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) is a patient-reported measure of back-specific body perception that has never been adapted and psychometrically analysed in Italian. Hence, the objectives of this research were to cross-culturally adapt and validate the Italian version of this outcome measure (namely, the FreBAQ-I), to make it available for use with Italians suffering from chronic LBP. Methods The FreBAQ-I was developed by forward and backward translation, review by a committee skilled in patient-reported measures and test of the pre-final version to assess its clarity, acceptability, and relevance. The statistical analyses examined: structural validity based on Rasch analysis; hypotheses testing by investigating correlations of the FreBAQ-I with the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), a pain intensity numerical rating scale (PI-NRS), the Pain Catastrophising Scale (PCS), and the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) (Pearson’s correlations); reliability by internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and test–retest repeatability (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC (2,1)); and measurement error by determining the minimum detectable change (MDC). After the development of a consensus-based translation of the FreBAQ-I, the new outcome measure was delivered to 100 people with chronic LBP. Results Rasch analysis confirmed the substantial unidimensionality and the structural validity of the FreBAQ-I. Hypothesis testing was considered good as at least 75% of the hypotheses were confirmed; correlations: RMDQ (r = 0.35), PI-NRS (r = 0.25), PCS (r = 0.41) and TSK (r = 0.38). Internal consistency was acceptable (alpha = 0.82) and test–retest repeatability was excellent (ICC (2,1) = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.83, 0.92). The MDC95 corresponded to 6.7 scale points. Conclusion The FreBAQ-I was found to be a unidimensional, valid, and reliable outcome measure in Italians with chronic LBP. Its application is advised for clinical and research use within the Italian speaking community.

“…Thus, due to hypervigilance, patients avoid movement, which negatively impacts their functional and physical recovery. In 2012, Hu et al first defined “kinesiophobia” as “the fear of any movement” [ 10 ]. In a recent study [ 11 ], the psychological structure associated with the “fear-avoidance” model was analyzed through network analysis and the effect of psychological variables on the fear of movement score was explored.…”

The number of patients with malignant tumors is increasing in China, and venous access ports have unique advantages for chemotherapy. Currently, China’s research on venous access port-mediated kinesiophobia is still in the developing stage. Using the combination of subjective words and freedom words, and based on literature traceability methods, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Vipp, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), Web of Science, The COCHRANE LIBRARY, Embase, and PubMed were searched. Relevant articles published from the construction of the database to October 30, 2023, were identified. Based on the many articles and analyses, the methods of assessing kinesiophobia in malignant tumors patients using venous access port, the related influencing factors and the preventive and intervention strategies were collated. We found 33 articles examining kinesiophobia in oncology patients, of which 4 were specifically conducted on patients with malignant tumors using VAPs or PICCs. The relevant preventive and therapeutic experiences regarding kinesiophobia in cancer patients with VAP still need improvement. Nursing staff can use assessment tools such as the Tampa Rating Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, and the Cancer Fatigue Scale to reasonably and effectively assess kinesiophobia among patients with malignant tumors who use VAPs. Attention should be paid to the mechanisms and roles of demographic factors, pain and foreign body sensation, cancer fatigue, pain management strategies, and other factors influencing kinesiophobia. This study provides advice to nursing staff for the management of VAP. Such considerations may reduce the complications of kinesiophobia and improve the quality of life of patients.
