“…The main objective is to have a better grasp of how this scale functions in the Malaysian language and culture. A similar approach from the previous study of translating and validating the questionnaire related to medical assessment into a Malay version has been observed as a valid and reliable tool for assessing educational needs and gathering information among group-based participants in Malaysia 56,[65][66][67][68][69] . To date, none of the studies have been observed using the Malay version of the respiratory symptoms questionnaire in Malaysia.…”

The role of the questionnaire in epidemiological and public health studies has received increased attention across a number of disciplines. In a respiratory study, the progress of research in cross-cultural settings is reflected in the systematic application of clinical and research data collection that is quantifiable and reliable. However, one of the main obstacles is language. To date, there has been no reported evidence pertaining to the translation of the respiratory symptoms questionnaire into Malay, the national and most widely used language in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper presents a translation method for ATS-DLD-78A, the respiratory symptoms questionnaire, into the Malay language using a forward-backwards translation approach. This pilot study was conducted to validate a questionnaire on respiratory symptoms in a Malaysian welder population. A total of 28 welders were enrolled in this pilot study. The internal reliability and validity of the questionnaire were assessed. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.812, which is high and considered good. All other correlations using Pearson are significant, indicating that the concepts measured by the items and the translated questionnaire were valid and clearly understood by the participants. This will greatly contribute to the field of a respiratory epidemiological study in Malaysia.

“…To increase understanding of emotion dysregulation among adolescents, a tool that is applicable and suitable for the Malaysian population is required. Even though emotion regulation studies have been conducted in Malaysia, they have focused on strategies to regulate emotion [30][31][32][33][34][35]. Nevertheless, an assessment instrument for emotion regulation difficulties has not been validated.…”

Objective The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-18 (DERS-18) is an instrument used to measure deficits in emotion regulation. However, the instrument has not been adapted to Malaysians and has never been validated in the Malay language. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Malay version of DERS-18. Method The DERS-18 underwent forward-backward translation and assessment of face and content validity. Both Malay version of the DERS-18 and DASS-21 were completed by 701 adolescents (44.4% boys) aged 13 and 14 years old. To assess its dependability, a floor and ceiling effect evaluation and Cronbach’s analysis were both performed. A series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), bivariate correlation, and regression were performed to evaluate the construct and criterion validity, respectively. Results The Malay version of DERS-18, after excluding “Awareness”, indicated excellent reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.93), and acceptable internal consistency for each subscale (range of α from 0.63 to 0.82). Floor or ceiling effects were observed at item level and subscale level, but not at total level. CFA results revealed that the Malay version of the DERS-18 bifactor model (excluding “Awareness”) portrayed the best construct validity (χ2/df = 2.673, RMSEA = 0.049, CFI = 0.977, TLI = 0.968) compared to a single factor, a correlated factor, and a higher-order factor model. The DERS-18 subscales (except “Awareness”) and DERS-18 total scores were significantly correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression in a positive direction (r ranged from 0.62 to 0.64, p < 0.01). The general factor of the DERS-18 and its specific factors (“Clarity”, “Goals”, and “Non-Acceptance”) significantly predicted the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression (R2 ranged from 0.44 to 0.46, p < 0.001). Conclusion The Malay version of the DERS-18, excluding “Awareness”, possessed good reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity to assess emotion dysregulation among Malaysian adolescents.
