There is a need to validate one of the specific stroke quality of life (QOL) scales into Arabic.
To translate and validate the stroke specific quality of life (SSQOL) into Arabic.
The SSQOL was translated into Arabic (SSQOL-A) according to a forward/backward translation protocol. 147 first time stroke survivors and 60 healthy subjects were recruited. Cronbach's α was used to measure internal consistency, test-retest reliability was measured by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Acceptability was established by studying floor and ceiling effects. A linear correlation between SSQOL-A and the Short Form 36, the Beck Depression Inventory II, the Barthel Index and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was done to assess construct validity. Discriminant and convergent validity were evaluated by correlating item to scale of each of the domains using Pearson correlation (rp).
The SSQOL-A has shown good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.78-0.94) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.77-0.94). It has also shown acceptable construct validity (r2 = 0.06-0.55). Item to scale correlation showed acceptable convergent (0.76-0.98) and discriminant (0.12-0.53) validity. Mann-Whitney U test showed the ability of the SSQOL-A to differentiate between stroke survivors and healthy participants QOL.
SSQOL-A has good validity and reliability for patients with mild to moderate stroke.
有必要将一种特定的中风生活质量(QOL)量表翻译成阿拉伯语并进行验证。
将中风特定生活质量量表(SSQOL)翻译成阿拉伯语并进行验证。
根据正向/反向翻译方案将SSQOL翻译成阿拉伯语(SSQOL-A)。招募了147名首次中风幸存者和60名健康受试者。使用Cronbach's α系数测量内部一致性,通过组内相关系数(ICC)测量重测信度。通过研究地板效应和天花板效应来确定可接受性。对SSQOL-A与简明健康状况调查量表(Short Form 36)、贝克抑郁量表第二版(Beck Depression Inventory II)、巴氏指数(Barthel Index)和美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale)进行线性相关分析,以评估结构效度。使用Pearson相关系数(rp)将每个领域的项目与量表进行相关性分析,以评估区分效度和聚合效度。
SSQOL-A显示出良好的内部一致性(Cronbach's α = 0.78 - 0.94)和重测信度(ICC = 0.77 - 0.94)。它还显示出可接受的结构效度(r2 = 0.06 - 0.55)。项目与量表的相关性显示出可接受的聚合效度(0.76 - 0.98)和区分效度(0.12 - 0.53)。Mann-Whitney U检验显示SSQOL-A能够区分中风幸存者和健康参与者的生活质量。
SSQOL-A对轻度至中度中风患者具有良好的效度和信度。
