“…Monolingual subjects with different socioeconomic and educational backgrounds are members of the lay panel assessing the appropriateness of the translated version in terms of understandability and comprehensiveness. 25 Despite reports that this translation method has fewer missing items, the higher dedicated time for implementation and the need for combining backward translation prompted us to utilize the forward-backward method. 26 Furthermore, our participants declared that the items were easy to understand, and the total questionnaire had enough question length.…”

Background: Compliance with health-related behaviors is a dilemma among heart failure (HF) patients. The present study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of a Persian translation of the revised heart failure compliance questionnaire (RHFCQ) in Iranian HF sufferers. Methods: This methodological study was performed on outpatient HF individuals referred to a heart clinic in Isfahan, Iran. The forward-backward translation method was used for translation. Twenty subjects were invited to express their opinions on the provided items concerning simplicity and understandability. Twelve experts were invited to rate the items regarding the content validity index (CVI). Cronbach’s α was used to evaluate internal consistency. The patients were asked to complete the questionnaire for the second time after 2 weeks to investigate test-retest reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: There were no obvious difficulties during the translation and assessment of the simplicity and comprehensiveness of the questionnaire items. The CVI of the items ranged from 0.833 to 1.000. Totally, 150 patients (age: 64.60±15.00 y, males: 58.0%) filled in the questionnaire twice with no missing data. The highest and lowest compliance rates were attributed to alcohol and exercise domains, respectively (83.00±7.70% and 45.55±12.00%, respectively). Cronbach’s α was 0.629. After the omission of 3 items related to smoking and alcohol cessation, Cronbach’s α rose to 0.655. The ICC showed an acceptable value of 0.576 (95% CI, 0.462 to 0.673). Conclusion: The modified Persian RHFCQ is a simple and meaningful tool with acceptable moderate reliability and good validity for assessing compliance in Iranian HF patients.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease with an enormous impact on patients' quality of life. The Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life (RAQoL) questionnaire is a disease-specific measure of QoL for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Our aim was to adapt and validate the RAQoL for use in Bulgaria. The development of a new language version of the RAQoL consisted of three stages: translation, field testing and psychometric evaluation. The dual-panel methodology, requiring two independent panels of Bulgarian speakers, was applied to translate the UK English version of the RAQoL into Bulgarian. Face and content validity of the translated questionnaire were assessed through cognitive debriefing interviews. Lastly, the RAQoL was administered on two occasions to a random sample of RA patients to evaluate reliability and validity. At the first occasion, the SF-36 was also administered for use as a comparator scale. The RAQoL was successfully adapted into Bulgarian and considered easy to understand, acceptable and comprehensive by RA patients. A psychometric study demonstrated that the new language version has excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficients = 0.93 and 0.94) and test-retest reliability (a Spearman's rank correlation coefficient = 0.97). Convergent validity was established by correlating scores on the RAQoL with a comparator measure, the SF-36. A strong correlation between RAQoL scores and the physical functioning section of the SF-36 was observed. Known group validity was established by the ability of the measure to distinguish between subgroups of patients, who differed according to their perceived general health, disease severity (p < 0.001) and whether they were experiencing a flare-up (p < 0.01). The new language version is recommended for use in future research studies, clinical trials and routine practice with Bulgarian RA patients.

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating multifactorial degenerative rheumatic disease affecting millions of people around the globe. The osteoarthritis quality of life scale (OAQoL), originally produced in the English language, is an important tool used to assess the overall impact of OA and its treatment on the patient’s quality of life. Purpose The purpose of the study was to translate and validate the OAQoL in the Arabic language in order to use it on the Saudi population. Methodology A bilingual panel comprising four healthcare professionals and one external certified medical translator translated the English version of the OAQoL to the Arabic language. A back translation was subsequently performed by two English-speaking translators and any differences were resolved by conferring with the original panel. The qualitative research was performed through cognitive debriefing interviews (CDIs) with 59 native Arabic patients who had clinically and radiologically confirmed osteoarthritis of any joint. The internal consistency of the 22 items was derived by leveraging the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. Results 59 participants were included in the study, and more than half (52.5%) of them were men. The response rate was 100% and the mean time taken to answer the questionnaire was 10.5 min. The average Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s Alpha were determined to be 0.93 each, indicating that all the items in the OAQoL were significantly interrelated. Conclusion The translated Arabic version of the OAQoL questionnaire used in this study is a reliable and consistent tool that showed good comprehensibility and internal consistency.
