The Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale (ASES) measures a patient's perceived efficacy to cope with the consequences of chronic arthritis. The aim of this, study was to translate ASES in to Yoruba, one of the indigenous Nigerian languages, and to investigate the validity and reliability of the translated version.
Forty one (21 males; 20 females).patients diagnosed with arthritis participated in this cross sectional survey, although only thirty seven (87.8%) were available for the reliability study. The ASES was translated to Yoruba language using forward-backward translations. Participants completed both English and Yoruba version of ASES on the first day while the second administration of the two versions of ASES was.. completed at one week after the first administrations. Data was analyzed -using descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation and intra-class correlation (at p=0.05).
There was a significant direct correlation (p<0.0001) between the scores obtained on the English and Yoruba versions (r=0.933). Also there was a significant direct correlation (p<0.0001) between the scores obtained on the first and second administrations of the English and Yoruba version of the ASES.
The Yoruba version of the ASES is a valid and reliable outcome measure for health outcomes assessment in Yoruba-speaking populations.
关节炎自我效能量表（ASES）用于衡量患者应对慢性关节炎后果的自我效能感。本研究的目的是将ASES翻译成尼日利亚本土语言约鲁巴语，并调查翻译版本的有效性和可靠性。
41名（21名男性；20名女性）被诊断患有关节炎的患者参与了这项横断面调查，不过只有37名（87.8%）可用于可靠性研究。通过正向-反向翻译将ASES翻译成约鲁巴语。参与者在第一天完成了英语版和约鲁巴语版的ASES，两个版本的第二次施测在第一次施测一周后完成。使用描述性统计、Spearman相关性和组内相关性（p = 0.05）对数据进行分析。
英语版和约鲁巴语版所得分数之间存在显著的直接相关性（p < 0.0001，r = 0.933）。ASES英语版和约鲁巴语版第一次和第二次施测所得分数之间也存在显著的直接相关性（p < 0.0001）。
ASES约鲁巴语版是评估约鲁巴语人群健康结果的有效且可靠的指标。
