To assess reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire.
Pain is one of the most frequent and significant problems encountered by nurses practice across the world. The Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire was widely translated and used to assess the pain experience of several types of patients because it combines the properties of the standard McGill Pain Questionnaire but takes substantially less time to administer.
The study used psychometric testing to establish reliability and validity of the Turkish version of Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire.
A convenience sample of 160 patients with leukaemia in Turkey was used to collect data regarding pain evaluation. The original version of the Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire, adapted into Turkish, was tested for internal consistency, content validity, construct validity and concurrent validity.
Internal consistency was found adequate at both assessments with Cronbach's α 0.88 for test and 0.91 for retest. For reliability of the total, sensory, affective and evaluative total pain intensity, high intraclass correlations were demonstrated (0.85, 0.84, 0.82 and 0.70, respectively). Correlation of total, sensory and affective score with the numerical rating scale was tested for construct validity demonstrating r = 0.61 (p < 0.01) for test and r = 0.68 (p < 0.01) for retest. Correlation with blood pressure values for concurrent validity was found to be r = 0.78 (p < 0.001) for test and r = 0.73 (p < 0.001) for retest.
Turkish version of the Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire has shown statistically acceptable levels of reliability and validity for pain evaluation in patients with leukaemia.
This study provided evidence that the Turkish version of the Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing pain. This scale can be used to assess nursing interventions aimed at decreasing pain and efficacy of the treatment.
评估短式麦吉尔疼痛问卷土耳其语版本的信度和效度。
疼痛是全球护士实践中最常见和最重要的问题之一。短式麦吉尔疼痛问卷已被广泛翻译并用于评估多种类型患者的疼痛体验，因为它结合了标准麦吉尔疼痛问卷的特性，但管理时间大大缩短。
本研究使用心理测量测试来确定短式麦吉尔疼痛问卷土耳其语版本的信度和效度。
采用方便抽样法对土耳其的 160 名白血病患者进行了疼痛评估数据收集。将原始的短式麦吉尔疼痛问卷改编成土耳其语版本，对其进行内部一致性、内容效度、结构效度和同时效度测试。
在两次评估中，Cronbach's α 为 0.88 的测试和 0.91 的复测均显示内部一致性良好。对于总疼痛强度、感觉、情感和评估总分的可靠性，显示出较高的组内相关系数（分别为 0.85、0.84、0.82 和 0.70）。为了测试结构效度，还测试了总得分、感觉得分和情感得分与数字评分量表的相关性，结果显示测试时 r = 0.61（p < 0.01），复测时 r = 0.68（p < 0.01）。同时为了测试与血压值的相关性，测试时 r = 0.78（p < 0.001），复测时 r = 0.73（p < 0.001）。
短式麦吉尔疼痛问卷土耳其语版本在白血病患者的疼痛评估中显示出统计学上可接受的信度和效度水平。
本研究提供了证据表明，短式麦吉尔疼痛问卷土耳其语版本是一种可靠且有效的评估疼痛的工具。该量表可用于评估旨在减轻疼痛和治疗效果的护理干预措施。
