Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ensuring patient safety in radiation oncology is crucial for delivering high-quality healthcare. Patient safety indicators (PSIs) provide a mechanism for identifying, quantifying and evaluating risks and the effectiveness of safety measures. However, there is currently no specialised set of PSIs tailored for radiation oncology in Germany. This study seeks to: (1) create PSIs specifically designed for radiation oncology settings, (2) develop and psychometrically validate an instrument for assessing safety in German radiation oncology facilities and (3) evaluate the feasibility of implementing this instrument in routine clinical practice. The finalised questionnaire will serve as a self-assessment instrument for radiation oncology departments, aiding them in evaluating their efficacy in ensuring patient safety, prioritising safety interventions and tracking performance over time. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We are undertaking a 3-year, mixed methods study to address our objectives. For the identification of PSIs, we will conduct a comprehensive review on the PubMed database, along with reviewing national and international guidelines and recommendations. To refine the initial set of indicators, we will consult with experts, including physicians, medical physicists, nurses, administrators and radiation therapists through focus groups. We will employ a Delphi study for the final consensus and selection of indicators. Additionally, the perspectives of patients will be incorporated by formation of a project patient's committee which meets throughout the project phases. We will reformulate the identified PSIs into questionnaire items. The questionnaire's clarity and comprehensibility will be validated through cognitive interviews, followed by psychometric testing in a pilot group of over 150 participants from German radiation oncology departments. The final version of the questionnaire will then be implemented in routine healthcare settings and we will interview individual users about their experiences with the questionnaire in semistructured interviews. We will convene a subsequent expert workshop to discuss the study results and explore avenues for the questionnaire's broader implementation. The finalised questionnaire will be made accessible via a web app. We hereby present the study potocol as a pre-results report. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval for this study was granted by the Hamburg Ethics Committee (Approval Number: 2023-101018-BO-ff). This trial is registered by the ARO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Radioonkologie /working group for radiation oncology of the German Cancer Society), protocol number 2023-03 and in the German register for clinical trials with the number DRKS00034690. Study results will be published in conference papers and talks as well as journal papers with focus on open access journals. The results will be also disseminated during the implementation workshop in phase III, which will involve a diverse group of stakeholders. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER DRKS00034690.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to identify and map the available psychometric evidence of the FRAIL scale to screen frailty among older adults. DESIGN Scoping review of published articles on 9 databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, PsycINFO, VHL Regional Portal, and Epistemonikos) and 8 gray literature sources. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Studies in adults or older adults, in both inpatient and outpatient settings (without context restrictions). METHODS Cross-cultural adaptations, validity and reliability evidence studies, whose main objective was to develop and/or validate and/or culturally adapt the FRAIL Scale to assess frailty in adults or older adults, published since 2007 were included in this scoping review. The databases were searched between February and March 2023.The JBI methodology for scoping reviews was used to guide the process. The protocol of this study was registered on the Open Science Framework platform. RESULTS Of the 1031 records found during the search, 40 articles that met the established criteria for analysis were included. Nearly 1 in 10 countries worldwide (11.9%) have psychometric evidence regarding this scale. Ten studies were identified with the goal of cross-cultural adaptation and/or validation in a different cultural context for the first time. Twenty-one of 40 studies used Morley 2012 operationalization of FRAIL Scale criteria. Thirty-nine studies provided evidence of associations with other variables. The rest of the evidence for content, internal structure, response processes, and reliability was only evaluated in cross-cultural adaptation studies, with limitations. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS In conclusion, there is some evidence of validity for FRAIL Scale; nevertheless, studies are needed to adapt the scale to new cultures, using rigorous Cross-Cultural Adaptation processes, and to provide new evidence of validity and reliability, to strengthen and consolidate the body of knowledge for its application to various patient groups and context.

[PMID: 38822278 PMCID: PMC11140946 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-024-04859-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To translate and culturally adapt the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) to a Swedish version, CSHQ-SWE, and to assess its validity and reliability for use with children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS A total of 84 children with ADHD (51 boys and 33 girls; 6-12 years) and parents (7 men and 77 women; 28-51 years) were included in the study. CSHQ was translated and culturally adapted to Swedish, and assessed for concurrent validity with sleep actigraphy (analyzed by Kendall's Tau) and for reliability by internal consistency (analyzed by McDonald's Omega H). Face and content validity was evaluated by parents (n = 4) and healthcare professionals (n = 6) qualitatively (comprehensiveness, relevance, and comprehensibility assessed by interviews and analyzed by thematic analysis) and quantitatively (analyzed by content validity ratio and content validity index for 33 items and four non-scored inquiries). RESULTS Parent-reported sleep problems (CSHQ-SWE total score) were moderately correlated with less "Sleep Efficiency" (Tau = -0.305; p < 0.001) measured by sleep actigraphy. Parent-reported problems with "Sleep Onset Delay" was moderately correlated with measured time for "Sleep Onset Latency" (Tau = 0.433; p < 0.001). Parent-reported problems with "Night Wakings" were weakly correlated with measured time for "Wake After Sleep Onset" (Tau = 0.282; p < 0.001). Parents estimation of "Total daily sleep duration" was moderately correlated with measured "Total Sleep Time" (Tau = 0.386; p < 0.001). Five of the seven subscales reached an acceptable level for internal consistency (McDonald's Omega H > 0.700). Comprehensiveness, relevance, and comprehensibility of CSHQ-SWE were satisfactory overall. Content validity ratio was 0.80 to 1.00 for six items, 0.00 to 0.60 for 22 items, and < 0.00 for nine items. Content validity index was 0.22. CONCLUSIONS CSHQ-SWE demonstrated acceptable concurrent validity with objectively measured sleep and internal consistency, whereas the overall results of face and content validity assessment varied. The instrument needs to be further evaluated regarding construct validity, responsiveness, test-retest reliability, and its generalization to other populations.

Abstract
Cross-cultural validation of self-reported measurement instruments for research is a long and complex process, which involves specific risks of bias that could affect the research process and results. Furthermore, it requires researchers to have a wide range of technical knowledge about the translation, adaptation and pre-test aspects, their purposes and options, about the different psychometric properties, and the required evidence for their assessment and knowledge about the quantitative data processing and analysis using statistical software. This article aimed: 1) identify all guidelines and recommendations for translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation within the healthcare sciences; 2) describe the methodological approaches established in these guidelines for conducting translation, adaptation, and cross-cultural validation; and 3) provide a practical guideline featuring various methodological options for novice researchers involved in translating, adapting, and validating measurement instruments. Forty-two guidelines on translation, adaptation, or cross-cultural validation of measurement instruments were obtained from "CINAHL with Full Text" (via EBSCO) and "MEDLINE with Full Text". A content analysis was conducted to identify the similarities and differences in the methodological approaches recommended. Bases on these similarities and differences, we proposed an eight-step guideline that includes: a) forward translation; 2) synthesis of translations; 3) back translation; 4) harmonization; 5) pre-testing; 6) field testing; 7) psychometric validation, and 8) analysis of psychometric properties. It is a practical guideline because it provides extensive and comprehensive information on the methodological approaches available to researchers. This is the first methodological literature review carried out in the healthcare sciences regarding the methodological approaches recommended by existing guidelines.

What motivates students to pursue a career in gerontological nursing? The cultural adaptation and validation of the Spanish version of the CMGN questionnaire. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28477. [PMID: 38689969 PMCID: PMC11059506 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Career motivation toward gerontological nursing (CMGN) has been studied by various authors. It is essential to identify the influencing factors and guarantee that undergraduate nursing degrees provide adequate social and healthcare responses to the current demand for gerontological care. Objective: In the absence of a validated instrument to measure students' career motivation in geriatric nursing in our sociocultural context, this study aimed to adapt and validate the original questionnaire Chinese CMGN. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 316 nursing students were collected in May 2021. The cultural and linguistic adaptation process was conducted in accordance with the recommendations of Ramada-Rodilla and Beaton. A committee of experts was established to assess content validity. The CMGN questionnaire consists of 20 items divided into 2 subscales: "Expectancy" (6 items) and "Values" (14 items). To determine the psychometric properties, the following analyses were carried out: content validity (Aiken's V coefficient and Pearson's coefficient of variation), internal consistency (Cronbach's α) and construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis and convergent and divergent validity). To verify the model once the parameters were estimated, we calculated the goodness-of-fit between the model and the data. Data analyses were performed using SPSS for Windows (IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0) and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS 27.0). Results A total of 316 nursing students were surveyed, of which 91.1% were women and the mean age was 21.61 ± 5.45 years (range: 18-56). The results indicate that the psychometric properties of the questionnaire were adequate in terms of content and construct validity. The internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha for both subscales was greater than 0.8. The AMOS results revealed that the final model fit statistics of CMIN/df (2.204), GFI (0.922), CFI (0.948) and RMSEA (0.062) indicated a satisfactory model fit. Finally, an original second-order model was obtained, resulting in the Spanish version of the CMGN (SV-CMGN) instrument. Conclusions: We developed a valid SV-CMGN questionnaire that is socially and culturally adapted to the Spanish context and is capable of measuring the motivation of nursing students toward a career in gerontological nursing, from the newest to the most experienced. This new version opens up the possibility of studying the phenomenon of motivation in other Spanish-speaking countries. Keywords: Gerontological nursing; Motivation; Students, nursing; Validation study; Surveys and questionnaires.

Abstract
Knowledge of variant anatomy was important during the time of Dr. Hubert von Luschka (1820-1875) and continues to be of relevance in current practice to prevent medical and surgical errors and to improve patient outcomes. Dr. H. von Luschka described an anatomical variant observed in the left scapula of a 40-year-old male: a connection between the medial superior angle of the scapula, piercing through the serratus posterior muscle to connect via a synovial capsule to the articular surface of the thoracic wall. The clinical relevance of this so-called "Luschka's tubercle" of the shoulder continues to be discussed. This translation is intended to broaden access to this hallmark manuscript to a wide audience of English readers. The introduction places the manuscript in the context of historical and current discussions. Three authors, all proficient in the German and English languages and educated in the anatomy of the shoulder, conducted the translation. The skeletal process that is part of the described joint structure appears similar to what is now called Luschka's tubercle. The full structure, including its connecting parts, are not currently included in anatomical nomenclature. In conclusion, Luschka's text and named tubercle continue to contribute to the discussion of scapulothoracic joint disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To implement the ACGME Anesthesiology Milestone Project in a non-North American context, a process of indigenization is essential. In this study, we aim to explore the differences in perspective toward the anesthesiology competencies among residents and junior and senior visiting staff members and co-produce a preliminary framework for the following nation-wide survey in Taiwan. METHODS The expert committee translation and Delphi technique were adopted to co-construct an indigenized draft of milestones. Descriptive analysis, chi-square testing, Pearson correlation testing, and repeated-measures analysis of variance in the general linear model were employed to calculate the F values and mean differences (MDs). RESULTS The translation committee included three experts and the consensus panel recruited 37 participants from four hospitals in Taiwan: 9 residents, 13 junior visiting staff members (JVSs), and 15 senior visiting staff members (SVSs). The consensus on the content of the 285 milestones was achieved after 271 minor and 6 major modifications in 3 rounds of the Delphi survey. Moreover, JVSs were more concerned regarding patient care than were both residents (MD = - 0.095, P < 0.001) and SVSs (MD = 0.075, P < 0.001). Residents were more concerned regarding practice-based learning improvement than were JVSs (MD = 0.081; P < 0.01); they also acknowledged professionalism more than JVSs (MD = 0.072; P < 0.05) and SVSs (MD = 0.12; P < 0.01). Finally, SVSs graded interpersonal and communication skills lower than both residents (MD = 0.068; P < 0.05) and JVSs (MD = 0.065; P < 0.05) did. CONCLUSIONS Most ACGME anesthesiology milestones are applicable and feasible in Taiwan. Incorporating residents' perspectives may bring insight and facilitate shared understanding to a new educational implementation. This study helped Taiwan generate a well-informed and indigenized draft of a competency-based framework for the following nation-wide Delphi survey.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increasing number of health care professionals are using mobile apps. The mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ) was designed to evaluate the usability of mobile health apps by patients and providers. However, this questionnaire is not available in French. OBJECTIVE This study aims to translate (from English to Canadian French), cross-culturally adapt, and initiate the validation of the original version of MAUQ for stand-alone mobile health apps used by French-speaking health care providers. METHODS A cross-cultural research study using a well-established method was conducted to translate MAUQ to Canadian French by certified translators and subsequently review it with a translation committee. It was then back translated to English. The back translations were compared with the original by the members of the committee to reach consensus regarding the prefinal version. A pilot test of the prefinal version was conducted with a sample of 49 potential users and 10 experts for content validation. RESULTS The statements are considered clear, with interrater agreement of 99.14% among potential users and 90% among experts. Of 21 statements, 5 (24%) did not exceed the 80% interrater agreement of the experts regarding clarity. Following the revisions, interrater agreement exceeded 80%. The content validity index of the items varied from 0.90 to 1, and the overall content validity index was 0.981. Individual Fleiss multirater κ of each item was between 0.89 and 1, showing excellent agreement and increasing confidence in the questionnaire's content validity. CONCLUSIONS This process of translation and cultural adaptation produced a new version of MAUQ that was validated for later use among the Canadian French-speaking population. An upcoming separate study will investigate the psychometric properties of the adapted questionnaire.

Abstract
In recent years, stress-related suicides have been on the rise among Chinese government employees. Standardized instruments on job stress are abundant, but few of them have been administered and validated among Chinese government employees. Using convenience samples of Chinese government employees, this study aimed to translate and validate the Sources of Pressure Scale (SPS) of the Pressure Management Indicator (PMI), which is a comprehensive instrument on job stress developed by western researchers. Sample 1 participants (n = 278) filled out the PMI questionnaire and the Kessler Psychological Distress scale in person and sample 2 participants (n = 227) completed the same questionnaires online. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted using separate samples. Though the original SPS contained 40 items and eight dimensions, our analyses validated a much shorter version, with four dimensions encompassing 15 items: relationships (5 items), home-work balance (4 items), recognition (3 items), and personal responsibilities (3 items). Also reported in the study is evidence that the shortened version of the the PMI is the Sources of Pressure Scale is a reliable and valid measure of job stressors among Chinese government employees. Government agencies in China can use these findings to develop more relevant organizational-level interventions to reduce job stress and its detrimental consequences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although feedback from people with adult-onset spinal cord injury (SCI) has been considered for new rehabilitation programs, little is known about the priorities of the pediatric-onset SCI population. This study describes and compares health and life (H&L) domain research priorities of youth with pediatric-onset SCI and their parents/caregivers. METHODS A cross-sectional survey, designed by the Pan-European Paediatric Spinal Cord Injury (PEPSCI) Collaboration, was performed at six European countries. Dyad data from 202 participants, youth with pediatric-onset SCI (n = 101) and their parents/caregivers (n = 101), were analyzed with the PEPSCI H&L domain surveys. RESULTS The cohort was composed of 8 to 12-year-olds (30.7%), 13 to 17-year-olds (38.6%), and 18 to 25-year-olds (30.7%). The top three H&L domain research priorities reported by parents/caregivers of 8 to 12-year-olds were "walking/ability to move" (91%), "bladder" function (90%), and "general health/feel" (89%), compared with "physical function" (93%), "general health/feel" (90%), and "walking/ability to move" (89%) rated by parents/caregivers of 13 to 25-year-olds. "Bowel" function (85%), "leg/foot movement" (84%), and "bladder" function (84%) were reported as priorities by 13 to 25-year-olds, whereas "physical function" (84%), "experience at school" (83%), and "general mood" were highlighted by 8 to 12-year-olds. The top 10 priorities preferred by 13 to 25-year-olds when compared with the top 10 priorities reported by their parents/caregivers, included problems related to "bowel" and "pain." CONCLUSIONS Health domain research priorities were highlighted by 13 to 25-year-olds, compared with their parents/caregivers who equally identified H&L domains. This survey will aid health care and clinical research organizations to engage stakeholders to implement a comprehensive research strategy for the pediatric SCI population.

Willingness to institutionalize a relative with dementia: a web-platform assessment with the Portuguese adapted version of the Desire-to-Institutionalize Scale. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 10:1277565. [PMID: 38259839 PMCID: PMC10801059 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1277565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Older persons with dementia (PwD) are more likely to be institutionalized than their counterparts without dementia. The caregiver's desire to institutionalize has been suggested as the most important predictor of actual institutionalization. This cross-sectional study aimed to culturally adapt the Desire to Institutionalize Scale (DIS) to a country with a high prevalence of dementia (Portugal) and examine its psychometric properties. Methods The reliability, structural validity, and criterion validity of the DIS-PT were assessed by applying the scale using a remote measurement web platform. A sample of 105 dementia caregivers completed the DIS-PT and several psychosocial measures, including caregiver burden, anxiety, depression, quality of life, PwD functional independence, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Results The DIS-PT demonstrated good structural validity, with one factor explaining 75% of the total variance. The internal consistency of the scale was high (α = 0.802). Most caregivers (65.7%) endorsed at least one item on the DIS-PT (Mdn 2). The caregiver's desire to institutionalize was significantly associated with the caregiver, care recipient, and contextual variables previously known to affect institutional placement. These included the caregivers' occupational status, perceived burden, anxiety (but not depression), physical and psychological quality of life, care recipient education, severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms, and cohabitation with the caregiver. Discussion This study offers preliminary support for the psychometric quality of the DIS-PT. The scale has practical applications in the early identification of caregivers considering nursing home placement, providing room for intervention in modifiable risk factors that may otherwise lead to the institutionalization of PwD. Remote measurement tools may hold value in assessing caregiving dyads non-intrusively and inexpensively.

Abstract
CONTEXT/OBJECTIVE No information is available regarding priorities for pediatric-onset spinal cord injury (SCI). This study described the Health and Life (H&L) domain priorities of youth with pediatric-onset SCI and their parents/caregivers living in Spain. DESIGN A cross-sectional survey. SETTING Two SCI rehabilitation centers. PARTICIPANTS Sixty participants, youth with pediatric-onset SCI (n = 26) and parents/caregivers (n = 34). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. OUTCOME MEASURES Median overall priorities calculated on the basis of importance, unhappiness, and research measured with a new survey of pediatric H&L domains and rated using a 5-point Likert Scale. RESULTS A total of 60 surveys were received providing information on 35 individuals with SCI: 2-7-year-olds (25.7%), 8-12-year-olds (22.9%), 13-17-year-olds (31.4%), and 18-25-year-olds (20.0%). The top three overall H&L priorities reported by parents/caregivers of 2-12-year-olds were "parenthood expectations" (84%), "leg/foot movement" (83%), and "bladder" function (83%), compared to "dressing/undressing" (78%), "walking/ability to move" (77%) and "bladder" function (77%) rated for 13-25-year-olds. "Sit-to-stand" (79%), "leg/foot movement" (78%) and "arm/hand movement" (77%) were reported as priorities by 13-25-year-olds. The 13-25-year-olds highlighted "sit-to-stand" (100%), "eating/drinking" (54%), and "physical function" (94%) as their top unhappiness, importance, and research priorities, respectively. Significant differences between tetraplegia and paraplegia were found in "mobility in the community" (unhappiness item) for 13-25-years-old. CONCLUSION Health domains were considered the top overall H&L priorities by parents/caregivers of 13-25-year-olds, compared to life domains reported for their 2-12-year-olds. This survey will aid rehabilitation professionals to engage stakeholders to implement a comprehensive SCI management program for the pediatric population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Community ambulation ability is one of the most important functional loss after stroke. The assessment of the level of community walking plays an important role in the multidimensional bio-psycho-social approach, to improve quality of life and social participation of stroke survivors. The modified Functional Walking Categories (mFWC) is a worldwide widely used tool to assess community ambulation in stroke survivors, but no Italian version is yet available. OBJECTIVE To cross-culturally adapt the mFWC into Italian and to assess its validity and reliability. METHODS According to the international guidelines, a multistep translation and cultural adaptation were conducted and revised by a committee of experts. Patients admitted to intensive inpatient rehabilitation with a sub-acute stroke were recruited. Inter- and intra-rater reliability and construct validity were studied. RESULTS Sixty patients with sub-acute stroke were prospectively enrolled in this study. Findings showed almost perfect intra- and inter-rater reliability (k = 1.000 [95% CI 1.000-1.000] and k = 0.984 [95% CI 0.955-1.000], respectively). The construct validity of the scale was satisfactory, as 100.0% a-priori hypotheses were met. CONCLUSIONS The Italian mFWC offers a valid tool for measuring community ambulation in stroke patients. Our work provides a validated and a cross-cultural adapted Italian version of the mFWC to accurately measure community ambulation both in clinical and research settings in Italy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sports injuries may have severe implications for an athlete's career. Psychological factors play an important role on an athlete's journey from the injury to the return to competitive sports. These factors are often insufficiently evaluated, which may lead to prolonged downtime. The Athlete Fear Avoidance Questionnaire (AFAQ) may be used to measure fear avoidance patterns in injured athletes. There is no validated German version of the questionnaire at this time. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the test-retest reliability, internal consistency and construct validity of the transculturally translated German version of the AFAQ (AFAQ_D) in injured athletes. METHOD The German version of the AFAQ_D was translated using the TRAPD model. Construct validity was evaluated with correlations to the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK). Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's Alpha, while the interclass coefficient was used to calculate test-retest reliability. RESULTS This study included 64 athletes aged 16 to 36 years (Ø 23.15 years, ♀ 17%, ♂ 83%) after a variety of injuries. The AFAQ_D yielded good reliability values with Crohnbach's Alpha being 0.76 (95%CI; 0.67-0.84) in the first measurement and 0.82 (95%CI; 0.76-0.88) in the second measurement, and the interclass coefficient being 0.798 (95%CI; 0.674-0.876). Regarding validity, a moderate correlation was found between the AFAQ_D and the TSK (r=0.57, p<0.01), and a weak and non-significant correlation was found between the AFAQ_D and the FABQ (r=0.13, p=0.31). CONCLUSION By and large, the German version of the AFAQ is a valid and reliable questionnaire to evaluate fear avoidance as well as the psychological readiness of athletes after an injury. Correlations with TSK and FABQ are roughly comparable with the original study.

Abstract
The aim is to present validity evidence of the Brazilian-Portuguese Recovery Experience Questionnaire (REQ-PB) by applying a procedure to decentering cross-cultural scales translation and adaptation. First, we had a phase with bilingual experts, which assessed different criteria of translation quality. In sequence, we conducted the replication of the original research to achieve validity indicators in the Brazilian context. We carried out both Confirmatory Factor Analysis (to find structural validity indicators) and correlations with various external variables (to find convergent validity indicators). Step 1 showed promising results of decentering translation. In step 2 participated 164 workers and the CFA confirmed the four-factor model: psychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery experience, and control over leisure time. The convergent validity showed a significant correlation with external variables. The REQ-PB showed adequate psychometric properties and may explain and compare empirical evidence of the recovery topic. We concluded that we have a good quality scale to be used in future research and integrated with other constructs to support interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire (DIBQ) measures facilitators or barriers of healthcare professionals' implementation behaviors based on the current implementation research on practice and policy. The DIBQ covers 18 domains of the Theoretical Domains Framework and consists of 93 items. A previously tailored version (DIBQ-t) covering 10 domains and 28 items focuses on implementing best-practice low back pain care. AIM To tailor a shortened version of DIBQ to multiprofessional rehabilitation context with cross-cultural adaptation to Finnish language. DESIGN A two-round Delphi study. SETTING National-level online survey. POPULATION Purposively recruited experts in multiprofessional rehabilitation (N.=25). METHODS Cross-cultural translation of DIBQ to Finnish was followed by a two-round Delphi survey involving diverse experts in rehabilitation (physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, nursing scientists, social scientists). In total, 25 experts in Round 1, and 21 in Round 2 evaluated the importance of DIBQ items in changing professionals' implementation behavior by rating on a 5-point Likert Scale (1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Strongly Agree) of including each item in the final scale. Consensus to include an item was defined as a mean score of ≥4 by ≥75% of Delphi participants. Open comments were analyzed using inductive content analysis. Items with agreement of ≤74% were either directly excluded or reconsidered and modified depending on qualitative judgements, amended with experts' suggestions. After completing an analogous second-round, a comparison with DIBQ-t was performed. Lastly, the relevance of each item was indexed using content validity index on item-level (I-CVI) and scale-level (S-CVI/Ave). RESULTS After Round 1, 17 items were included and 48 excluded by consensus whereas 28 items were reconsidered, and 20 items added for Round 2. The open comments were categorized as: 1) "modifying"; 2) "supportive"; and 3) "critical". After Round 2, consensus was reached regarding all items, to include 21 items. After comparison with DIBQ-t, the final multiprofessional DIBQ (DIBQ-mp) covers 11 TDF domains and 21 items with I-CVIs of ≥0.78 and S-CVI/Ave of 0.93. CONCLUSIONS A Delphi study condensed a DIBQ-mp with excellent content validity for multiprofessional rehabilitation context. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT A potential tool for evaluating determinants in implementing evidence-based multiprofessional rehabilitation interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To translate and culturally adapt the scales Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) and Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC) to the Brazilian population. METHODS Two English language proficient professionals independently translated the original version of the scales into Brazilian Portuguese. After consensus, it was generated a translated version of each scale. These were back translated into English by two native English translators. A new consensus process resulted in an English version of each scale, which were compared with the originals and approved by the author. A committee of experts with clinical and academic experience in intensive care checked the validity of the content and produced the pre-final versions of the scales, which were tested by 25 professionals from a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. An audit was conducted to verify the consistency of the methodological process. RESULTS The pre-final versions were approved by 96% of the Brazilian professionals. No significant changes were made to the content of the instrument; however, it was identified the need of a guide with instructions on how to use the scales. CONCLUSIONS The process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the scales was completed and resulted in PCPC-BR and POPC-BR scales.

Abstract
Introduction No studies have yet attempted to quantitatively measure the competencies of Brazilian student-athletes. Consequently, there are no validated measures suitable for this purpose. The aim of this research was to examine the psychometric properties and assess content validity, factorial validity and evidence based on response processes of the Brazilian version of the Dual Career Competency Questionnaire for Athletes (DCCQ-A). Methods The Brazilian DCCQ-A was administered to 745 student-athletes (Mage = 17.3 ± 5.4; 54% female; 8% student-athletes with disabilities). Results Content validity coefficient analysis indicated clarity of language, theoretical pertinence, and practical relevance of the Brazilian DCCQ-A items. Confirmatory factorial analysis revealed excellent goodness-of-fit indices of the 4-factor structure model. Polytomous Rasch analysis demonstrated an acceptable adjustment of the items and good organization in the item response categories. Discussion Considering the psychometric strength of the Brazilian DCCQ-A, this instrument can contribute to the practical and research applicability of sport psychology, providing support to those involved with student-athletes' dual career by identifying their competencies and possible limitations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Inventory of Parental Representations (IPR), a self-administered questionnaire, was developed primarily to identify styles of attachment in adolescence. However, it did not present stable psychometric properties in the various American studies carried out. The aim of this study was to adapt the IPR in French and to provide a shorter version with improved psychometric properties and sound content. METHODS The cross-cultural adaptation and content validity were carried out based on qualitative analysis by an Expert Committee and 10 non-clinical adolescents. For the quantitative analyses a cohort of 535 adolescent volunteers was enrolled, corresponding to 1070 responses, and divided into two groups: development and validation. The study of the metric properties of the adapted version of the IPR was realized in the development group, a sample of 275 responses. In case of mediocre results in the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, the development of a new and reduced IPR structure was planned using a mixed method including Classical Test Theory and Rasch Modelling in the development group. Subsequently, the study of the psychometric properties of the short, adapted version was confirmed in an independent sample of 795 responses (validation group). RESULTS Out of 62 items translated, 13 needed adaptations. The analysis of their metric properties produced mediocre results. Content and psychometric property analyses generated two Short version of the IPR in the development group: a paternal scale for Fathers (Short IPRF) with 15 items and a maternal scale for Mothers (Short IPRM) with 16 items. The sound content and good psychometric properties were confirmed in the validation group (Short IPRF: Comparative Fit Index = 0.987, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.982, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.027; Short IPRM: Comparative Fit Index = 0.953, Trucker-Lewis Index = 0.927, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.068). Using Rasch modelling, the attachment was correctly measured overall especially for insecure attachment. CONCLUSIONS A step-by-step process involving led to the generation of two questionnaires: a paternal scale, the Short IPRF, and a maternal scale with the Short IPRM providing opportunities to use this self-questionnaire to assess attachment among adolescents. Further work will provide a solid rating for this new tool.

Abstract
Family caregivers of dying cancer patients may suffer from grief experiences and bereavement complications. Previous studies have proposed some psycho-emotional interventions for the management of these complications. However, little attention has been given to family-based dignity intervention and expressive writing. This study was conducted to examine the effects of family-based dignity intervention and expressive writing, combined and alone, on anticipatory grief in family caregivers of dying cancer patients. This was a randomized controlled trial, in which 200 family caregivers of dying cancer patients were randomly assigned to four intervention groups: family-based dignity intervention (n = 50), expressive writing intervention (n = 50), combined family-based single dignity intervention and expressive writing (n = 50), and control group (n = 50). In three times (baseline, 1 week, and 2 weeks after the interventions), anticipatory grief was assessed by a 13-item anticipatory grief scale (AGS). Finally, we found a significant reducing effect of family-based dignity intervention on AGS (-8.12 ± 1.53 vs. -1.57 ± 1.52, P = 0.01) and its subscales including behavioral (-5.92 ± 0.97 vs. -2.17 ± 0.96, P = 0.04) and emotional (-2.38 ± 0.78 vs. 0.68 ± 0.77, P = 0.03) subscales compared to the control group. However, no significant effect was seen for expressive writing intervention and combined interventions of expressive writing and family-based dignity intervention. In conclusion, family-based dignity intervention may be a safe intervention for relieving anticipatory grief among family caregivers of dying cancer patients. Additional clinical trials are needed to confirm our findings. Registration number: IRCT20210111050010N1. Trial registration date:2021-02-06.

Abstract
PURPOSE To test feasibility of a French translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Upper-Limb Performance Assessment (ULPA) for task and ecologically based assessment of individualized passive function of upper-limb (UL) performance in adults treated with botulinum toxin-A. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case series with seven adults with stroke (29-74 years) for spastic hypertonia management with passive use objectives (hygiene or positioning) established through Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS). Scores on ULPA Task Performance Mastery (TPM) were obtained through clinical and home-based performances before and after treatment. RESULTS Time administration per task ranged from 5-10 min. Median (range) ULPA, Task Performance Mastery (ULPA-TPM) scores pre-intervention of 58 mastery (35-71) improved to 75 (58-88). Tau-U demonstrated significant large effect sizes (≥.65) for five participants. Complementary measures demonstrated improvement of passive performance for five participants and improvements in GAS for six participants. Testing indicates excellent intra-rater (ICC = 0.90) and moderate inter-rater (ICC = 0.64) reliability, with SDC of 10.16 and 18.23%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS French use of ULPA is a promising standardized, objective and ecologically based assessment of passive performance in adults with stroke. Preliminary findings after TCCA support feasibility for measurement of individualized goals for UL passive use. Future studies may explore other tasks and environments. Implications for rehabilitationULPA is a performance-based, criterion-referenced and ecological measure of individualized goals based on task-analysis of upper-limb (UL) performance in real-life situations providing an interest for individualized assessment of activity and participation.The measure provides a standardized and quantitative approach, applicable to passive use of UL across environments, promoting ecological validity of assessment.Preliminary data will support clinical interpretation of change before and after botulinum injections of UL passive performance.Access to a transculturally validated French version of ULPA complements standardized assessment of UL impairment, perceived performance and goal attainment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES 40% of dementia cases can be prevented by addressing 12 lifestyle factors. These risk factors have increased presence in ethnic minorities, yet dementia prevention messages have not reached these communities. This article investigates the experience of co-designing a dementia prevention animated film with 9 ethnic groups in Australia. METHODS Evidence-based recommendations were adapted through an iterative process involving workshops with a stakeholder advisory committee and nine focus groups with 104 participants from the Arabic-, Hindi-, Tamil-, Cantonese-, Mandarin-, Greek-, Italian-, Spanish-, and Vietnamese-speaking communities. Data were analyzed using the Normalization Process Theory. RESULTS Cultural adaptation involves consideration of the mode of delivery, imagery and tone of the resource being developed; ensuring cultural adequacy; anticipating the need of the end-users; and managing linguistic challenges associated with working across multiple languages. CONCLUSIONS Learnings from this co-design process offer valuable insights for researchers and program developers who work with ethnic minority groups. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS • Adaptation across cultures and languages is a negotiation not a consensus building exercise• Linguistic adaptation requires consideration of the education levels, and linguistic and intergenerational preferences of community members• Co-designing across multiple languages and cultures risks "flattening out" key aspects of cultural specificity.

Abstract
This review summarizes the current state of the art of statistical and (survey) methodological research on measurement (non)invariance, which is considered a core challenge for the comparative social sciences. After outlining the historical roots, conceptual details, and standard procedures for measurement invariance testing, the paper focuses in particular on the statistical developments that have been achieved in the last 10 years. These include Bayesian approximate measurement invariance, the alignment method, measurement invariance testing within the multilevel modeling framework, mixture multigroup factor analysis, the measurement invariance explorer, and the response shift-true change decomposition approach. Furthermore, the contribution of survey methodological research to the construction of invariant measurement instruments is explicitly addressed and highlighted, including the issues of design decisions, pretesting, scale adoption, and translation. The paper ends with an outlook on future research perspectives.

Abstract
Background Specific details pertaining to the clinical and other challenges faced by physiotherapists managing patients with COVID-19 during the pandemic are still largely unknown. Objectives To determine how physiotherapists clinically managed patients with COVID-19 in a hospital-based setting during the pandemic and to identify the personal and professional effects of working as a physiotherapist at this time. Methods Self-administered electronic cross-sectional survey. Participants included physiotherapists from around the world involved in the clinical management of patients with COVID-19. Results Of the 204 participants who returned the questionnaire, 39% worked as senior physiotherapists, 29% as consultant or specialist physiotherapists, 23% as general physiotherapists and 4% as graduate physiotherapists. Seventy-two percent of participants worked in the intensive care unit. The largest barrier to treating patients with COVID-19 was a lack of intensive care trained physiotherapists (70%). Eighty-three percent of participants reported performing activities outside of their typical work duties, including proning patients (55%), tutoring and advising other staff in the intensive care unit (55%) and adjusting or changing ventilator settings (52%). Almost all participants (90%) reported being aware of physiotherapy specific guidelines for treating patients with COVID-19, yet most participants performed techniques that were not recommended. Conclusions The experience of the pandemic highlighted the need for specialist training and availability of experienced cardiorespiratory physiotherapists to manage patients with COVID-19, specifically in intensive care. Furthermore, clear guidelines on the management of patients with COVID-19 should be established to ensure optimal management of patients and ensure the safety of physiotherapy staff.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity and exercise are beneficial for people with rheumatic diseases; however, recommendations for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and hip- and knee osteoarthritis (HOA/KOA) are usually unspecific with respect to mode and dose of exercise. This is why the 2018 EULAR recommendations for physical activity in people with inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis were formulated. The recommendations consist of 4 overarching principles and 10 recommendations. These were also published as a lay version in the English language. AIM Translation of the lay version into German and its linguistic validation in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. METHODS A professional translation was reviewed by the authors, including people with, RA, SpA, HOA/KOA from the three German-speaking countries, which provided a prefinal lay version. Subsequently, eight interviews with people with RA, SpA, HOA/KOA were conducted in each country to evaluate understandability, wording, completeness and feasibility of the prefinal lay version. Finally, the authors, i.e. those with RA, SpA, and osteoarthritis, anonymously rated their agreement to the final lay version on a 0-10 scale. RESULTS The professional translation was substantially revised by the authors and based on the interviews. Formulations were adapted to increase readability and understandability and specify statements. Comments that would have changed content or structure were not considered. Average agreement with the particular recommendations was between 10 (SD 0) and 7.6 (SD 1.67). DISCUSSION For people with RA/SpA/HOA/KOA the EULAR physical activity recommendations should be available in their mother language. The final German lay version is valid and accepted across all three German-speaking countries. Thus, the physical activity recommendations can be provided to people with rheumatic diseases in an understandable and feasible way.

Validity and reliability of the loco-check questionnaire after cross-cultural adaptation for Indonesia. J Orthop Sci 2023; 28:267-271. [PMID: 34801343 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2021.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2020] [Revised: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A large number of the elderly in Indonesia are affected by an increasing number of disabilities, with reduced mobility being one of the causes. Locomotive syndrome may cause decreased mobility, and its progression can impair the activities of daily living. Early screening is essential to halt its progression. The loco-check, a screening tool for locomotive syndrome, is available in English. A cross-cultural adaptation of this tool for an Indonesian version is important to maintain the validity of the questionnaire for its implementation in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to obtain a valid Indonesian version of the loco-check questionnaire that has been adapted as per Indonesian language and cultural conventions (through a cross-cultural adaptation process). METHODS The subjects in the study were community-dwelling geriatrics over 65 years of age who were recruited using consecutive non-probability judgment sampling according to the inclusion criteria. This study, conducted from February to October 2019, was divided into two stages consisting of: (1) language and cultural adaptation; (2) validity and reliability testing. The seven items on the loco-check were translated using forward-backward translation. The final questionnaire was generated through an expert panel discussion. The validity and reliability were evaluated using concurrent validity and Cronbach's alpha using SPSS Version 23.0. RESULTS In the first stage, the first and second trials showed a strong correlation between the English and Indonesian versions of the questionnaire with r = 0.997 (p < 0.001) and r = 0.825 (p = 0.003), respectively. The final Indonesian version of the loco-check had a good validity and reliability with r = 0.981 (p < 0.001) and Cronbach's alpha of 0.768, respectively. CONCLUSION The Indonesian cross-cultural adaptation of the loco-check questionnaire is a valid and reliable general questionnaire that could enable screening for locomotive syndrome in Indonesia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is paucity of culturally adapted tools for assessing depression and anxiety in children and adolescents in low-and middle-income countries. This hinders early detection, provision of appropriate and culturally acceptable interventions. In a partnership with the University of Nairobi, Nairobi County, Kenyatta National Hospital, and UNICEF, a rapid cultural adaptation of three adolescent mental health scales was done, i.e., Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and additional scales in the UNICEF mental health module for adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a qualitative approach, we explored adolescent participants' views on cultural acceptability, comprehensibility, relevance, and completeness of specific items in these tools through an adolescent-centered approach to understand their psychosocial needs, focusing on gender and age-differentiated nuances around expression of distress. Forty-two adolescents and 20 caregivers participated in the study carried out in two primary care centers where we conducted cognitive interviews and focused group discussions assessing mental health knowledge, literacy, access to services, community, and family-level stigma. RESULTS We reflect on process and findings of adaptations of the tools, including systematic identification of words adolescents did not understand in English and Kiswahili translations of these scales. Some translated words could not be understood and were not used in routine conversations. Response options were changed to increase comprehensibility; some statements were qualified by adding extra words to avoid ambiguity. Participants suggested alternative words that replaced difficult ones and arrived at culturally adapted tools. DISCUSSION Study noted difficult words, phrases, dynamics in understanding words translated from one language to another, and differences in comprehension in adolescents ages 10-19 years. There is a critical need to consider cultural adaptation of depression and anxiety tools for adolescents. CONCLUSION Results informed a set of culturally adapted scales. The process was community-driven and adhered to the principles of cultural adaptation for assessment tools.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Worldwide, many patients, including minors, seek chiropractic care. The purpose of this study was to investigate the practice characteristics of chiropractors who treat pediatric patients in Quebec, Canada. METHODS We conducted a web-based cross-sectional survey of all licensed chiropractors working in Quebec (Canada). Data were collected using an adapted questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were produced for all the variables collected. RESULTS Among our 245 participants (response rate: 21%), 63% were women, and half defined themselves as general musculoskeletal (MSK) health care practitioners. Nearly all participants reported seeing 0-5 new pediatric patients/week, and the most common pediatric age group was 6-12 years old (57%). Pediatric patients were most commonly referred by family members and "word of mouth". The respondents most frequently indicated that they strongly agreed with statements affirming their confidence in their own diagnostic capacities regarding MSK disorders with respect to all age groups as well as non-MSK disorders with regard to young teens. They reported a moderate level of agreement with similar statements concerning the diagnosis of non-MSK disorders in newborns, preschoolers, and children. Chiropractors rarely referred their pediatric patients to a nurse/family doctor or a pediatrician. When presented with potential pediatric red flags, the respondents commonly indicated that they would refer the patient to a physician in an emergency situation or for comanagement. CONCLUSION Chiropractors in Quebec are confident in their diagnoses of pediatric MSK conditions and refer patients to physicians in the rare event of a worrisome presentation. However, some chiropractors may have expectations that are unsupported by evidence regarding the diagnosis and management of non-MSK complaints.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to translate the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) into Canadian French (PSEQ-F) and to evaluate its validity, reliability and responsiveness in a French-Canadian sample of patients with persistent rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP). METHODS Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the original English version of the PSEQ into Canadian French were performed according to standard procedures. Thereafter, 78 adults with RCRSP completed the PSEQ-F on three occasions: baseline, 2 days later to evaluate the reliability and 6 weeks later to evaluate responsiveness. RESULTS Cross-cultural adaptation was performed without problems with content or language. The PSEQ-F was found to be reliable (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient = 0.96; Minimal Detectable Change = 3 points [5%]), valid (moderate correlations with an abbreviated version of Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand [QuickDASH] and Brief Pain Inventory [BPI] Questionnaires) and responsive (Standardized Response Mean = 0.96; Effect Size = 0.81; Minimal Clinically Important Difference = 6 points [10%]). CONCLUSION The PSEQ-F is a reliable, valid and responsive questionnaire that can be used to assess pain self-efficacy in French-speaking individuals with RCRSP. Further studies should use a self-efficacy-specific Global Rating of Change scale to estimate its responsiveness more thoroughly.Implications for rehabilitationHigher levels of pain self-efficacy have been associated with increased odds of symptom resolution in those with persistent rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP).The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) has been identified as the most frequently used tool by clinicians to assess pain self-efficacy in patients at risk of developing persistent musculoskeletal pain.The Canadian French version of the PSEQ (PSEQ-F) is a reliable, valid and responsive questionnaire that can be used to assess pain self-efficacy in French-speaking individuals with RCRSP.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Körperliche Aktivität kann die Symptomatik von Personen mit axialer Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) verbessern. Die Selbstwirksamkeit ist dabei ein wichtiger prädiktiver Faktor. Mit dem Fragebogen „Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale“ (ESES) kann die Selbstwirksamkeit für körperliche Aktivität erfasst werden. Bislang gab es noch keine deutsche, validierte Version des Fragebogens.
Ziel Untersuchung der transkulturell adaptierten deutschen Version der ESES (ESES-D) bezüglich Test-Retest-Reliabilität, interner Konsistenz sowie Konstruktvalidität bei Personen mit axSpA.
Methode Die ESES-D wurde anhand des TRAPD-Team-Translation-Models in die deutsche Sprache übersetzt und in einer Beobachtungsstudie evaluiert. Die interne Konsistenz wurde mittels Cronbachs Alpha und die Test-Retest-Reliabilität mittels Intraklassen-Koeffizienten (ICC, Two-way Mixed Effects Model) überprüft. Die Konstruktvalidität wurde aufgrund a priori definierter Hypothesen mittels Korrelationen zwischen der ESES-D, demografischer Merkmale und Messinstrumente zu krankheitsbedingten Symptomen, Funktionseinschränkungen, körperlicher Aktivität sowie Ergebniserwartung für das Training untersucht. Bei Erfüllung von 6 von 8 Hypothesen galt die Konstruktvalidität als bestätigt.
Ergebnisse Die ESES wurde in die deutsche Sprache übersetzt. Es wurden 52 Personen mit axSpA zwischen 31 und 80 Jahren in die Studie eingeschlossen. Die deutsche Version der ESES demonstrierte gute Werte bezüglich der Reliabilität mit einem ICC von 0,78 (95 % CI; 0,63–0,88) und einem Cronbachs Alpha von 0,85. 5 von 8 a priori definierte Hypothesen zur Überprüfung der Konstruktvalidität wurden bestätigt.
Schlussfolgerung Die ESES-D erfasst die Selbstwirksamkeit für körperliche Aktivität mit guter Test-Retest-Reliabilität und interner Konsistenz. Die Konstruktvalidität konnte nicht abschließend bestätigt werden. Weitere Forschung zur Konstruktvalidität und Responsivität wird empfohlen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To disseminate and assess the level of acceptability and applicability of the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) recommendations for patient education among professionals in rheumatology across Europe and three Asian countries and identify potential barriers and facilitators to their application. METHODS A parallel convergent mixed-methods design with an inductive approach was used. A web-based survey, available in 20 different languages, was distributed to health professionals by non-probability sampling. The level of agreement and applicability of each recommendation was assessed by (0-10) rating scales. Barriers and facilitators to implementation were assessed using free-text responses. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively and qualitative data by content analysis and presented in 16 categories supported by quotes. RESULTS A total of 1159 completed the survey; 852 (73.5%) were women. Most of the professionals were nurses (n=487), rheumatologists (n=320), physiotherapists (n=158). For all recommendations, the level of agreement was high but applicability was lower. The four most common barriers to application were lack of time, lack of training in how to provide patient education, not having enough staff to perform this task and lack of evaluation tools. The most common facilitators were tailoring patient education to individual patients, using group education, linking patient education with diagnosis and treatment and inviting patients to provide feedback on patient education delivery. CONCLUSIONS This project has disseminated the EULAR recommendations for patient education to health professionals across 23 countries. Potential barriers to their application were identified and some are amenable to change, namely training patient education providers and developing evaluation tools.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are common in the healthcare sector due to exposure of physical demanding work tasks. Risk assessment is necessary to prevent injuries and promote a safety culture. The TilThermometer has proved to be useful in the Netherlands for assessing healthcare workers’ physical exposure to patient handling. The aim of this study was to translate the risk assessment instrument TilThermometer from Dutch to Swedish, perform cross-cultural adaptation, and evaluate its linguistic validity to a Swedish healthcare context.
Methods
Translation and validation process was performed according to following eight steps: 1) Translation (two translators), 2) Synthesis, 3) Back-translation (two back-translators), 4) Synthesis, 5) Linguistic review (one bilingual reviewer), 6) fifteen experts in a panel review according to Delphi-method, 7) Semi-structured interviewing eleven informants, analyzed using qualitative content analysis and step 8) discussion and input from creators of the instrument.
Results
A new Swedish version, the TilThermometer, was provided through the translation process (steps 1–5). The linguistic validity and usefulness were confirmed thru step 6 and 7. Consensus was reached in the expert review after two rounds, comments were analyzed and grouped into five groups. The qualitative content analyses of the interviews emerged in to three categories: 1) “User-friendly and understandable instrument”, 2) “Further development”, and 3) “Important part of the systematic work-environment management”.
Conclusion
In this study, the cross-cultural adaption and translation performed of the Swedish version of TilThermometer assured linguistic validity. This is this first phase before further testing the psychometrics aspects, inter-rater reliability and feasibility of TilThermometer. In the second phase TilThermometer will be implemented and evaluated together with other measures in the Swedish healthcare sector.

Abstract
Purpose To translate, cross-culturally adapt and validate the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q©) into Persian. Methods This study was carried out in 2 phases: (1) the CVS-Q© was translated and cross-culturally adapted into Persian and (2) the validity and reliability of CVS-Q FA© were assessed in a cross-sectional validation study. An expert committee composed of 15 optometrists evaluated content validity (item-level (I-CVI) and scale-level (S-CVI) content validity index were calculated). A pretest was performed (n = 20 participants) to verify the comprehensibility of the questionnaire. A total of 102 computer users completed the final questionnaire. Criterion validity and diagnostic performance of the CVS-Q FA© were assessed by calculating sensitivity, specificity and receiver characteristic operator curve. Cronbach's alpha was calculated for the assessment of internal consistency and 46 participants refilled the questionnaire for the second time and the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cohen's kappa (κ) were evaluated for test–retest reliability. Results The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process was performed successfully according to accepted scientific recommendations without any major difficulties. The I-CVI was above 0.80 for all items (symptoms) except item 15 (feeling that sight is worsening) and the S-CVI was 0.92. The CVS-Q FA© showed good sensitivity (81.1%) and acceptable specificity (69.2%). Also, it achieved good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.80) and test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.81 and κ = 0.65). Conclusion The CVS-Q FA© was successfully translated, cross-culturally adapted, and validated into Persian. This study provides a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of computer vision syndrome among the Iranian working population. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10792-022-02340-3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate CADRI's configural and metric structures and explore its performance from the perspective of the respondents as perpetrators and victims. In the process, we present shorter versions for both roles. METHODS The sample consisted of 561 adolescents aged 15 and 19, enrolled in public and private schools in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Initially, confirmatory factor analyzes (CFA) tested the originally proposed dimensional structure. Since this model was rejected, the second step analyzed the data via Exploratory Structural Equation Models (ESEM) to reassess the instrument's structure. Applying a decision algorithm on a new dimensional structure, we proceeded to reduce the number of items to establish separate sets for victimization and perpetration. These final models were then analyzed via CFA to assess their psychometric properties. RESULTS The final solutions contained 15 items comprising four and three factors for victimization and perpetration, respectively. Thirteen items were common to both models, but two were unique to their respective sets. Regardless of their small differences, the final solutions fitted adequately, held factorial item pertinence and unambiguity, contained reliable and non-redundant items, and sustained factor-based convergent and discriminant validities. CONCLUSION The four and three-factor models were within the dimensional bounds proposed in the original CADRI, the shorter scales still succeeding in partially capturing what was envisaged in the first version of the instrument. However, the shorter versions suggested here are still tentative, thus requiring further examination.

Abstract
Use of digital patient-reported outcomes is being introduced in care of chronic conditions, including Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The aim is to supplement face-to-face follow-up sessions through symptom screening, and to inform follow-up through questions about mental health and quality of life. However, little is known about who is using this as intended. This study aimed to map differences between users and non-users among people with IBD and explore the mechanisms behind. We administered a questionnaire including the Readiness and Enablement Index for Health Technology (ReadHy) and the Service User Technology Acceptability Questionnaire (SUTAQ) to all people with IBD registered at Silkeborg Regional Hospital. Comparison between users and non-users and cluster analysis was conducted. Effect size (Cohen's d) was used to estimate magnitude of difference between groups. The user and non-user groups differed most strongly by level of emotional distress (d = 0.45). Cluster analysis of the ReadHy scales showed profiles have different sets of difficulties and reservations towards digital solutions. These difficulties correlated moderately with SUTAQ dissatisfaction and low acceptability. The dimensions of ReadHy may help to better understand particular needs of people with IBD when accessing digital PROs, which may lead to higher acceptability and improved quality of care.

Abstract
Cross-cultural adaptation is an important part of using validated questionnaires across countries and settings. Here we describe the cross-cultural process adopted in the STRiDE (STrengthening Responses to dementia in DEveloping countries) program. We adopted a cross-cultural adaptation process including forward translation, back translations, and cognitive interviews of the STRiDE toolkit. In total, 50 older adults and 41 carers across sites in Indonesia and South Africa participated in cognitive interviews; field notes and verbatim quotes are reported. We describe the cross-cultural adaptation process of the STRiDE toolkit. During the process, issues were identified with the translated toolkit, including aspects related to cultural appropriateness, terminology equivalence, and timings. The data demonstrate that a rigorous, yet pragmatic, cross-cultural adaptation process can be achieved even with limited resources. Our process should help the design and conduct of future dementia research in various contexts.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the needs and research priorities of Swiss children/adolescents and young adults (from here, “young people”) with spinal cord injury/disorder (SCI/D) or spina bifida (SB) and their parents in the health and life domains as part of the international Pan-European Pediatric Spinal Cord Injury (PEPSCI) collaboration. Surveys included queries about the satisfaction, importance, research priorities, quality of life (QoL), and characteristics of the young people. Fifty-three surveys with corresponding parent-proxy reports were collected between April and November 2019. The self-report QoL sum scores from young people with SCI/D and SB were 77% and 73%, respectively. Parent-proxy report QoL sum scores were lower, with 70% scores for parents of young people with SCI/D and 64% scores for parents of young people with SB. “Having fun”, “relation to family members”, and “physical functioning” were found to be highly important for all young people. “Physical functioning”, “prevention of pressure injuries”, “general health”, and “bowel management” received the highest scores for research priority in at least one of the subgroups. As parents tend to underestimate the QoL of their children and young people prioritized research topics differently, both young peoples’ and caregivers’ perspectives should be included in the selection of research topics.

Abstract
Background Advancements in digital technologies seek to promote health and access to services. However, people lacking abilities and confidence to use technology are likely to be left behind, leading to health disparities. In providing digital health services, health care providers need to be aware of users’ diverse electronic health (eHealth) literacy to address their particular needs and ensure equitable uptake and use of digital services. To understand such needs, an instrument that captures users’ knowledge, skills, trust, motivation, and experiences in relation to technology is required. The eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ) is a multidimensional tool with 7 scales covering diverse dimensions of eHealth literacy. The tool was simultaneously developed in English and Danish using a grounded and validity-driven approach and has been shown to have strong psychometric properties. Objective This study aims to translate and culturally adapt the eHLQ for application among Mandarin-speaking people with chronic diseases in Taiwan and then undertake a rigorous set of validity-testing procedures. Methods The cross-cultural adaptation of the eHLQ included translation and evaluation of the translations. The measurement properties were assessed using classical test theory and item response theory (IRT) approaches. Content validity, known-group validity, and internal consistency were explored, as well as item characteristic curves (ICCs), item discrimination, and item location/difficulty. Results The adapted version was reviewed, and a recommended forward translation was confirmed through consensus. The tool exhibited good content validity. A total of 420 people with 1 or more chronic diseases participated in a validity-testing survey. The eHLQ showed good internal consistency (Cronbach α=.75-.95). For known-group validity, all 7 eHLQ scales showed strong associations with education. Unidimensionality and local independence assumptions were met except for scale 2. IRT analysis showed that all items demonstrated good discrimination (range 0.27-12.15) and a good range of difficulty (range 0.59-1.67) except for 2 items in scale 7. Conclusions Using a rigorous process, the eHLQ was translated from English into a culturally appropriate tool for use in the Mandarin language. Validity testing provided evidence of satisfactory-to-strong psychometric properties of the eHLQ. The 7 scales are likely to be useful research tools for evaluating digital health interventions and for informing the development of health technology products and interventions that equitably suit diverse users’ needs.

Abstract
Prior studies on urban hotel service settings show that the positive response to the lobby artwork and interior design in a hotel is a performance determinant since it directly impacts the orientation of green customers’ preferences who form a significant part of the primary and secondary consumers outcome of emotional satisfaction. In addition, it elaborates on the importance of marketing strategy based on hotel interior design for urban hotels intending to increase customer loyalty. For this reason, the present study collected a total of 330 South Korean participants to identify the mediating role of hotel lobby interior design and artworks between green customers’ preferences and hotel loyalty. The survey instrument designed for the current study included 15 questions to test the hypotheses and a path analysis using AMOS 24.0 was conducted as the main tool to determine the relationship key factors. According to our statistical findings, it is acceptable to relate the customers’ environmental awareness with interest in artwork in the hotel lobby due to the first impression created. The artwork gives a general perception of the value and quality that the consumer is likely to gain by interacting with the available products and services. It is also valid to indicate that the customers’ environmental awareness closely relates to their preference for interior design to develop customer loyalty. Therefore, we conclude that the environmental awareness and hotel loyalty factors impact the marketing strategy and segmentation process used for the urban hotels that deal with green customers with unique and exclusive needs.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: To adapt and validate the content of the Advanced Practice Nursing Competency Assessment Instrument (APNCAI) to Brazilian culture. Methods: This is a methodological study that followed the stages of translation, synthesis, back translation, evaluation by a committee of five specialists, pre-test with 31 nurses, and evaluation by the author of the original instrument. The Content Validity Index (minimum 0.90) and the modified Kappa (minimum 0.74) were calculated to evaluate the content. Result: In the first round of content evaluation, 18 items had to be altered because they did not reach the minimum values established. Three items have not reached a consensus in the second round and had to be sent to the author of the original version. In the pre-test, 13 items were returned to the specialists because they suffered content changes. Conclusion: The Advanced Practice Nursing Competency Assessment Instrument (APNCAI) - Brazilian version was cross-culturally adapted, and its content was validated.

Abstract
The Danger Assessment (DA) is a widely-used risk assessment instrument designed to help women understand their risk of femicide. Currently, no validated tool exists in Brazilian Portuguese. The purpose of this study was to conduct a cross-cultural adaptation of the DA for use in the Brazilian context as a precursor to validation and broader testing among women in Brazil. This study describes a community participatory approach for translation and cultural adaptation of the DA from European to Brazilian Portuguese that engages the target population in the process. Using a three-step process, a final version of the DA-Brazil instrument was developed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Two cross-cultural adaptations of the 12-dimension Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) into French coexist: the Occelli and Vlayen versions. The objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Occelli version in comparison with those reported for the Vlayen and the original US versions of this instrument. METHODS Using the original data from a cross-sectional study of 5,064 employees at a single university hospital in France, we examined the acceptability, internal consistency, factorial structure, and construct validity of the Occelli version of the HSOPSC. RESULTS The response rate was 76.8% (n = 3888). Our study yielded lower missing value rates (median, 0.4% [range, 0.0%-2.4%] versus 0.8% [range, 0.2%-11.4%]) and lower dimension scores (median, 3.19 [range, 2.67-3.54] versus 3.42 [range, 2.92-3.96]) than those reported for the Vlayen version. Cronbach alphas (median, 0.64; range, 0.56-0.84) compared unfavorably with those reported for the Vlayen (median, 0.73; range, 0.57-0.86) and original US (median, 0.78; range, 0.63-0.84) versions. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis were consistent between the Vlayen and Occelli versions, making it possible to conduct surveys from the 12-dimensional structure with both versions. CONCLUSIONS The inconsistencies observed between the Occelli and Vlayen versions of the HSOPSC may reflect either differences between the translations or heterogeneity in the study population and context. Current evidence does not clearly support the use of one version over the other. The two cross-cultural adaptations of the HSOPSC can be used interchangeably in French-speaking countries.

Abstract
Although it is one of the core cultural values of Asian American families and an influential determinant of youth development, familism remains under-studied among Asian Americans and, despite crucial within-group heterogeneity, lacks subgroup specificity. This study describes the ways in which two major Asian American subgroups of youth, i.e., Filipino Americans and Korean Americans, maintain traditional familism. Specifically, this study constructed six self-report subscales of familism utilizing underused and new survey items and tested their psychometric properties. Using data collected from Filipino American (n=150) and Korean American (n=188) adolescents living in a Midwest metropolitan area, the measures were examined for validity and reliability for each group and, when appropriate, for measurement invariance across the groups. The main findings are that the finalized scales demonstrated solid reliability and validity (e.g., content and construct) in each group and some invariance and that core traditions, in the form of familism values and behaviors, persevere among second-generation Asian Americans, although familism was more evident among Filipino American youth than in Korean American youth. In both groups, subdomains of familism were not as discrete as found among their parents, who were predominantly foreign-born first-generation immigrants. The finalized familism scales were associated differently with several correlates including acculturation variables and youth outcomes. The findings are discussed with a call for further empirical research of diverse ethnic groups and immigrant generations to more accurately account for how family process interacts with cultural origin and acculturation.

Abstract
An important challenge to enhancing community access to mental health interventions in marginalised, transcultural settings is the development of culturally relevant screening measures. Cross-cultural adaptation (CCA) and translation methods offer guidelines for the adaption of existing screening measures for use across cultures with the aim of preserving semantic and construct equivalence as well as validity. Yet, the application of CCA methods has been inconsistent and validation strategies have focused predominantly on expert review and quantitative validity testing. Additionally, potentially important context-specific interpretations of measure items have been lost in translation-heavy approaches. The missing link in the CCA of existing measures may be the addition of culturally sensitive, community-based evaluative methods. This paper presents a report of the application of a seven-step CCA method developed by the first author to address the issue of cultural relevance in the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Spence Child Anxiety Scale (SCAS) an anxiety measure for use in a specific South African community context. The findings emphasise the surprising context-specific interpretations of items in measures applied transculturally, which support the case for qualitative, community-based validation of translated, CCA screening measures used to explore the effectiveness of mental health interventions across cultural contexts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Family caregivers of dying cancer patients are affected by grief experiences and bereavement complications. Several approaches such as psycho-emotional care and an increase in spirituality have been suggested to diminish these complications. However, the knowledge about the effects of family-based dignity intervention and expressive writing on anticipatory grief in family caregivers of dying cancer patients is limited. This is a study protocol describing a hospital-based mixed-methods study on the effects of family-based dignity intervention and expressive writing on anticipatory grief in family caregivers of dying cancer patients. METHODS This mixed-methods study will be done in an embedded explanatory design with two quantitative and qualitative phases. In the first phase (quantitative), a randomized clinical trial will be done, in which 200 family caregivers of dying cancer patients will be randomly assigned to one of the four groups: family-based single dignity intervention (group 1), expressive writing intervention (group 2), combined family-based single dignity intervention and expressive writing (group 3), and control (group 4). At baseline, 1 week and 2 weeks after the interventions, anticipatory grief will be assessed by a 13-item anticipatory grief scale. After the quantitative phase, the qualitative phase will be conducted through the conventional content analysis approach of Granheim and Lundman, in which an individual semi-structured interview will be taken from participants in the first phase to collect data on their experiences on interventions. Finally, data from the quantitative and qualitative phases will be analyzed and discussed. DISCUSSION Family caregivers of dying cancer patients usually experience depression, anxiety, and psychological distress due to isolation and inadequate social support. Psychological interventions such as dignity and expressive writing interventions may help caregivers to obtain a better understanding of themselves and to increase their abilities to cope with caregiving difficulties. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive study confirming the effects of mentioned interventions on family caregivers of dying cancer patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials ( www.irct.ir ) identifier: IRCT20210111050010N1. Date of trial registration: Feb 6, 2021. This is the first version of this protocol.
