“…During the translation process, it was revealed that item 20 "Push something with one foot", and item 23"Has your leg/have your legs given way" were considered difficult to understand by several of the respondents. Similar problems were reported during the French translation [16]. However, the items are considered relevant to women with PGP and those women who had experienced the problems recognized them [25].…”

“…This was expected since Norway and Sweden are neighboring and comparable countries when it comes to the sociocultural context for pregnant women. In order to have the same version of the questionnaire to translate from as other countries' translations [15,16], we chose to translate from the English version of the pelvic girdle questionnaire to Swedish and not from the original Norwegian version. A limitation with this choice is that the English version of the pelvic girdle questionnaire has not been validated.…”

“…To be able to compare studies across countries, equivalent questionnaires are needed. Pelvic girdle questionnaire is at present available in English, Norwegian, Spanish and French, however a Swedish version is lacking [11,15,16]. There is a need to examine the measurement properties [17] of the Swedish version of the pelvic girdle questionnaire and to further evaluate the pelvic girdle questionnaire's ability to discriminate between women with or without need of treatment.…”

Purpose: The aims of this study were to translate and culturally adapt The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire to Swedish, and to evaluate the construct and discriminative validity. Materials and methods: A translation and cultural adaptation process was performed according to international guidelines. Pilot tests were conducted among 16 women during pregnancy and post-partum. Analysis of the construct and discriminative validity of the Swedish version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire was performed in a sample of 177 pregnant women suffering from pain in the lumbo-pelvic area. Participants completed the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire along with Oswestry Disability Index, numeric rating scales for pain intensity and for pelvic girdle pain concerns. Results: The Swedish version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire showed high internal consistency with Cronbach's alphas between 0.82 and 0.96, good convergent validity with high correlations with the Oswestry Disability Index and the pain intensity numeric rating scale, whereas moderate correlation was shown between the concerns numeric rating scale and the other instruments as hypothesized. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed good discriminatory capacity for women in need of treatment. Conclusions: The Swedish version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire has patient acceptability. It has good construct and discriminative validity for measurements of consequences of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain among Swedish speaking women. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain may be disabling and long-lasting, however treatable when identified. The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire is the only condition-specific, reliability tested and validated questionnaire for pelvic girdle pain. The Swedish version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire has patient acceptability, good construct validity for pelvic girdle pain among Swedish speaking women, and shows good discriminative capacity for women in need of treatment.

“…In each trimester, a member of the research team asked the women if they have had pregnancy-related LPP over the last 7 days or if they were having LPP presently using the illustration provided in the French version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ). 19 If a woman had or was having pregnancy-related LPP, she was asked to rate pain intensity using a visual analogue pain scale. This scale is a self-reported measurement tool used by health professionals allowing the patient to rate pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain).…”

ObjectivesPregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain (LPP) is a frequent condition known to significantly affect women in their daily life. The aetiology of pregnancy-related LPP pain is still not clearly established but the mode of conception has been suggested to contribute to LPP. Anxiety related to fertility treatments may be one of the contributing factors. The primary objectives of this study were to determine the evolution of LPP prevalence and severity, and anxiety throughout pregnancy in women who conceived spontaneously (SP) or after fertility treatments (FT). A further aim was to examine the relationship between pregnancy-related LPP severity and anxiety. The secondary objective was to determine the evolution of physical activity and their correlation with the severity of pregnancy-related LPP.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingPregnant women were recruited through physicians’ referrals, posters and newspaper advertisements in the local and surrounding communities (hospital, maternity care clinic, prenatal centres, sports centres, local university) in the city of Trois-Rivières, Canada.Participants59 pregnant women (33 SP and 26 FT) were assessed during the first, second and third trimester of pregnancy.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPregnancy-related LPP prevalence and severity (primary), trait and state anxiety, and physical activity levels (secondary).ResultsThere was no relationship between the mode of conception and the outcome measures. The prevalence and severity of LPP increased over the course of pregnancy (time effect, p<0.0001) whereas trait anxiety decreased from early to mid-pregnancy (time effect, p=0.03). Activity limitations increased throughout pregnancy (time effect, p<0.0001) and physical activity levels decreased (time effect, p<0.0001). The severity of LPP was positively correlated with activity limitations (r=0.51 to 0.55) but negatively with physical activity levels (r=−0.39 to −0.41).ConclusionsMaternal health-related factors, such as LPP, anxiety and physical activity, are not different in women who conceived spontaneously or after fertility treatments. The more LPP was severe, the more the women were physically limited and inactive.

“…Such difficulties have previously been reported in other French-Canadian translation and cross-cultural adaptation of English health questionnaires {Girard, 2016 #37;Parent-Vachon, 2008 #36;Roy, 2014 #39}. Depending on the context, keeping either the scientific 14,15 or lay language term can be appropriate 16 . Our study has several strengths.…”

Tool (FertiSTAT) are validated tools allowing the evaluation of fertility knowledge and raising awareness about risk indicators for reduced fertility. Their use by health care professionals practicing in the field of reproductive health might optimize fertility of the Canadian population. However, there currently is no version of these questionnaires for the French-Canadian population. The objective of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the CFKS and FertiSTAT to the French-Canadian population. METHODS: The translation and adaptation of the questionnaires was completed following a 4stage approach: 1) forward translation, 2) synthesis, 3) expert committee review, and 4) testing of the prefinal version of the questionnaires. The testing stage was conducted with a sample of 30 women and 10 men. RESULTS: During the translation process, linguistic difficulties were met for some items of both questionnaires but were resolved by consensus of the expert committee. Thirty women and 10 men tested the prefinal version of the CFKS-F and FertiSTAT-F. On a 5-point Likert scale, the global comprehension was 4.8±0.5 and 4.6±0.6, respectively. Based on the comments of the participants, the expert committee made minor modifications in the final version of the questionnaires to clarify the formulation of questions and adapt to one medical term. CONCLUSION: Tools to assess fertility knowledge and the presence of risk indicators for reduced fertility are now available for health care professionals practicing in the field of reproductive health.
