Cross-cultural adaptation of the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire to Argentinian Spanish

Abstract

In Argentina, there was not an adapted and validated instrument to evaluate readiness for the transition to adult health care. The purpose of this study was to describe the process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire 5.0 to Argentinian Spanish. The authors of the instrument were contacted to this effect. Stage 1: two translators performed the translation to Spanish. Stage 2: based on these two versions, version 1 was agreed upon. Stage 3: two back-translations were performed. Stages 4 and 5: both back-translated versions were compared, and the Spanish version was adapted to ensure correspondence with the original. Subheads were added in each domain, and version 2 was obtained. Stage 6: the questionnaire was field tested to ensure the cultural adequacy of the vocabulary, thus obtaining version 3. In the last stage (stage 7), the instrument was tested in two hospitals. Finally, the cross-cultural adaptation of the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire 5.0 for the Argentinian population was obtained.

Hungarian Linguistic, Cross-Cultural and Age Adaptation of Transition Specific Questionnaires in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

“…The TRAQ survey was validated for adolescents with cystic fibrosis in the United States [ 28 ]. The questionnaire was used internationally, e.g., USA, England, Canada, and Italy, [ 28 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ] and adapted for other chronic conditions, but an adaptation of IBD is still missing [ 11 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. Adapted versions are available in Spanish for patients diagnosed with various chronic diseases, in Thai, and Brazilian-Portuguese for rheumatologic disorders, for the American pediatric population with epilepsy, and in Turkish for adolescents with diabetes [ 11 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ].…”

“…In the case of a well-designed, planned, and dynamic transition, which has already received more positive feedback than a single-act transfer, is influenced by objective (e.g., multi-disciplinary, trained team, protocol-based management, financial difficulties) and subjective factors such as a patient’s self-management and knowledge of the disease [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. The process should be adapted to the needs and abilities of the patients and their parents.…”

Efficacious interventions for improving the transition readiness of adolescents and young adult patients with chronic illness: A narrative review of randomized control trials assessed with the transition readiness assessment questionnaire

“…The TRAQ is one of the best assessment tools ( 5 ), as it has cross-cultural validity and has thus been translated into many languages ( 25 , 31 – 35 ). In our search results, three randomized control trial articles were assessed with the TRAQ.…”
