The reliability and cross-cultured adaptation of the Boston questionnaire; in Turkish illiterate patients

Öz:

Amaç: Türkiyede okuma yazma bilmeyen hastalar birçok sorgulama formunu kendi kendine tamamlayamamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; okuma yazma bilmeyen, karpal tünel sendromlu Türk hastalara, Boston semptom şiddet (BSÖ-SŞ) ve fonksiyonel durumu (BSÖ-F) sorgulama ölçeğini uyarlamak ve güvenilirliğini incelemekti.Yöntem ve Gereçler: Çalışmaya 60 okur yazar olmayan, 60 eğitimli 120 hasta katıldı. Boston sorgulama ölçeği (BSÖ) İngilizce versiyonu Türkçe'ye bağımsız dört kişilik ekip tarafından; tercüme/ geri tercüme kör yöntemle uyarlandı. Okur yazar olmayan hastalarda ‘'yazı yazmak'',''tığ işi yapmak'' ve ‘'okurken kitabı tutmak'' ‘'kuran okumak'' olarak değiştirildi. BSÖ Türkçe versiyonunun güvenilirliği, tekrarlanabilirliği ve iç tutarlılığı araştırıldı.Bulgular: Cronbach alpha değeri sırasıyla okur yazar olmayan grup için BSÖ-SŞ=0.914, BSÖ-F=0.94 ve okur yazar için BSÖ- SŞ=0.971, BSÖ-F=0.96 olarak hesaplandı. Grup içi ilişki katsayısı, okur yazar olmayan ve olan hasta gruplarında mükemmeldi BSÖ- SŞ ve BSÖ-F için 0.89-0.96-aralığındaydı.Sonuç: BSÖ formu Türkçe'ye uyarlanmış bu haliyle karpal tünel sendromlu okur yazar olmayan hastalara güvenle uygulanabilir. Farklı eğitim düzeylerinde, kendi kendine yapılan soru formlarını uygularken bazı kavramsal değişikler yapılması gerekli olabilir.

Okur yazar olmayan hastalarda; Boston sorgulama ölçeğinin Türkçe'ye uyarlanması ve güvenilirliği

Objective: In Turkey, the illiterate patients may not be able to complete many self-administered questionnaires. The aim of this study was to adapt the self-administered Boston questionnaire (BQ) for the assessment of the severity of symptoms and functional status (BQ-SS, BQ-F) in carpal tunnel syndrome to the illiterate Turkish population and investigate the reliability of the cross cultured adaptation.Material and Methods: A total of 120 outpatients with carpal tunnel syndrome (60 literate, 60 illiterate) were assessed using this Turkish version of BQ. Translation/back-translation of the English version BQ was done by using blinded method and independently by four different individuals, and adapted by a team. For illiterate people, the term “writing” was changed as “crocheting” and the statement “holding a book while reading” was modified as “holding the Holy Quran while reading”. Reliability was investigated by the reproducibility and internal consistency.Results: Cronbach's alpha was calculated at 0.914 for BQ-SS scale, 0.94 for BQ-F scale in the illiterate group and at 0.971 for BQ-SS scale, 0.96 for BQ-F scale in the literate group, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficients were excellent and range between 0.89 and 0.96 for BQ-SS and BQ-F in the illiterate and the literate patients.Conclusion: This adapted version of BQ provides a reliable tool in iliterate Turkish patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. For application of self-administered questionnaire, some conceptual modifications should be required for accommodation of the different educational levels.
