“…From the 53 eligible studies, 44 different versions of the MPQ were identified (there is more than one study reporting the clinimetric testing of the Spanish [14], Japanese [21], Dutch [22], Czech [23], Greek [24], and Norwegian [25] versions). The 44 versions represent 26 different language/ cultures as there are multiple versions for the same language (4 Dutch, 4 German (being one in German-Berne [15]), 4 Norwegian, 3 Greek, 2 Brazilian-Portuguese, 2 Danish, 2 Italian, 2 Chinese, 2 Korean, 2 Turkish, 2 Japanese, and 2 Spanish versions (being one developed for Mexican-Americans [26] and another developed in Spain [14] and tested in Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, and Spain [27]).…”

“…Thus, Melzack himself developed the ShortForm McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) (18), which just takes 2Á5 min to administer, and gives information about the basic attributes of pain quality and pain intensity. So far, the instrument has been translated as well as validated into five languages: Czech (19), Swedish (20), Greek (21), Korean (22) and Thai (23). It has also been transformed to several languages by simple translation of the descriptors and other words (Mapi Research Institute; 24).…”

The Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) contains 15 pain descriptors (11 Sensory, four Affective). The aim was to develop a valid Norwegian SF-MPQ (NSF-MPQ). Descriptors were selected among 333 previously collected Norwegian pain adjectives, selection criteria being conceptual equivalence to the SF-MPQ and adjectives used by 33%. Pain intensity scoring systems of the SF-MPQ were modelled. The NSF-MPQ, a pain drawing and the Disability Rating Index were presented to 277 patients from five different clinical settings. All pain descriptors were used by ]33% in at least one of the five clinical groups, patients with persistent pain using most descriptors. Cronbach's a was adequately high (0.74Á 0.87). Spearman rank (r) correlations were moderate to very high between groups of pain descriptors (0.68Á0.97). Pain descriptor scores showed low to moderate correlations with the two pain intensity variables (VAS and Present Pain Intensity) (0.27Á0.52). All scores showed low correlations with pain area extension (0.20Á0.45) and disability (0.05Á0.30), indicating construct validity of the NSF-MPQ. The NSF-MPQ discriminated between two or more patient groups on item level, but discriminative ability on total score and subscore levels was mediocre. The NSF-MPQ seems to express a different construct than pain distribution and disability, and allows registration of distinctions of pain qualities.

“…The validity and reliability of the English version were examined using a large sample, similar to or larger than other studies in which other measures were translated and validated [51][52][53][54][55]. Unidimensionality was confirmed and reliability was acceptable for both versions.…”

Purpose: To translate and culturally adapt the Spinal Cord Injury Measure version III (SCIM III) into Greek (GR-SCIM III). To conduct initial testing of psychometric properties of both measures by self-report. Method: Forward-backward translation was conducted to produce the GR-SCIM III. Participants completed the English or Greek versions in [2008][2009]. Both versions were examined for multidimensionality, internal consistency and concurrent/criterion validity with the EQ-5D. Results: Forty-five Greek adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) (23 males), mean age 61 (SD17) years; mean time since injury 11 (SD9) years, completed the GR-SCIM III. One hundred and seventy four English-speaking adults with SCI (111 males), mean age 47 (SD12) years; mean time since injury 12 (SD11) years, completed the SCIM III. Unidimensionality was confirmed for both versions. Internal consistency was acceptable (a ¼ 0.78 for both). Validity was strong for the ''self-care'' subscale (GR-SCIM III r ¼ À0.78, SCIM III r ¼ À0.75) and moderate for the ''mobility'' subscale (GR-SCIM III r ¼ À0.58, SCIM III r ¼ À0.45). Conclusions: This has been the first function scale translated and validated in Greek for people with SCI. Both the GR-SCIM III and SCIM III are reliable for use by self-report. More studies are needed to further examine their psychometric properties and compare with observation or interview. ä Implications for RehabilitationThe Greek version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure version III (SCIM) is valid and reliable for self-report. Further testing is needed to assess psychometric qualities not assessed in the present study. Researchers and therapists in Greece can use a specific measure to assess functional independence in people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Consideration needs to be given to the participants' type of injury, which may affect the results of SCIM III.
