“…Es un proceso riguroso que consiste en la traducción y adaptación cultural de la versión original a la versión adaptada 9 . El objetivo es conseguir que el instrumento sea equivalente a nivel semántico, conceptual, de contenido, técnico y de criterio en distintas culturas 10,11,12 . La equivalencia semántica asegura que el significado de cada ítem sea el mismo en cada cultura después de la traducción.…”

It is increasingly necessary to have a measuring instrument available in the health field that can be used in clinical practice and research. In order to guarantee the quality of their measurements it is essential that the instruments should be subjected to a process of validation. This process consists in adapting the instrument culturally to the setting where its psychometric characteristics are to be administered and checked, such as: reliability, validity, sensitivity and feasibility. There are measuring instruments from the health field available in other languages but that have not been validated into Spanish. Besides, the methodology for validating an instrument is little understood by the health professionals, which explains the indiscriminate use of instruments that have only been adapted or validated in a way that is not very consistent. The aim of this review is to bring up to date the process of validating an instrument for measuring health, and what it involves, in a practical way. The accessibility of evaluation instruments that have been culturally adapted and validated in different languages will facilitate the comparison of results obtained with the same instrument and the development international studies in different cultures.

“…Translation and validation of standard tools may be performed to resolve this problem and to help to guide treatment (Dunckley, Hughes, Addington-Hall, & Higginson, 2003). The MMSE has been translated into several languages such as Finnish (Salmon et al, 1989); Nigerian (Ogunniyi, Osuntokun, & Lekwauwa, 1991); Korean (Park, Park, & Ko, 1991); French (Ritchie & Fuhrer, 1992); Cantonese (Chiu, Lee, Chung, & Kwong, 1994); German (Monsch et al, 1995); Gujarati (Lindesay et al, 1997); Spanish (Blesa et al, 2001;Morales, Bermejo, Romero, & Del-Ser, 1997;Ostrosky-Solís, López-Arango, & Ardila, 2000); Arabic (Al-Rajeh, Ogunniyi, Awada, Daif, & Zaidan, 1999); Hindi (Tiwari, Tripathi, & Kumar, 2009;Tsolaki et al, 2000); Bangla (Kabir & Herlitz, 2000); Sinalese (de Silva & Gunatilake, 2002); Chinese (either Mandarin or Cantonese; Xu et al, 2003); Turkish Kü çü kdeveci, Kutlay, Elhan, & Tennant, 2005); Hindi (Malayalam; Shaji, Bose, & Verghese, 2005); Portuguese (Lourenço & Veras, 2006); and Malay (Zarina, Zahiruddin, & Che Wan, 2007).…”

The objective of the study was to develop and validate a translated and culturally adapted Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for the Persian-speaking population. The MMSE was translated into Persian. Two groups of neurologically intact subjects (n = 100) and subjects with Alzheimer's disease (n = 13) were studied. The difference between groups on the mean total scores of the Persian MMSE was statistically significant (control = 28.62 +/- 2.09; subjects with Alzheimer's disease = 11.77 +/- 5.66; p < .001). The cutoff score of 23 was the best cutoff score for our subjects with a sensitivity and specificity of 98% and 100%, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the Persian MMSE score and the level of education (r = .46) and with age (r = -.77). There was no significant correlation between the Persian MMSE and gender. The Persian MMSE was found to be valid for discrimination of cognitive impairment in the Persian-speaking community.

“…The translation of health information into various languages is a good beginning for immigrant health education. However, some immigrants are illiterate in their own language (Dunckley 2003; Maltby 1999). In addition, literal translations may not be effective at communicating complex health concepts and motivating behaviour change among diverse immigrant groups (Neuhauser & Kreps 2008).…”
