BACKGROUND/AIM: This study aimed to translate and validate the Turkish version of the Hand20 questionnaire.
Patients who had upper extremity involvement and stable symptoms for the previous 4 weeks in their upper extremities were included in the study. Patients who were illiterate or used a splint during the day were excluded from the study. Participants completed the Turkish version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH-T) questionnaire once and the final version of the Hand20 questionnaire twice in a 7-day interval. Internal consistency and reliability of the questionnaire was assessed. Moreover, correlations between Hand20 and DASH-T scores were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient.
A total of 104 patients participated in the study. The Turkish version of the Hand20 met the set criteria of reliability and validity. Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.93) and test-retest reliability were excellent (r = 0.82). Hand20 showed a positive and statistically significant correlation with DASH-T (r = 0.76, P < 0.001).
The results showed that the Turkish version of the Hand20 had excellent test-retest reliability and validity. As a result of this study, it was determined that Hand20 was a valid and reliable instrument to measure the upper extremity disabilities of Turkish-speaking patients.
背景/目的：本研究旨在翻译和验证土耳其版 Hand20 问卷。
研究纳入了上肢有症状且上肢症状在过去 4 周内稳定的患者。排除了在研究期间不识字或白天使用夹板的患者。参与者在 7 天的间隔内，一次完成土耳其版残疾上肢肩手问卷（DASH-T）和 Hand20 问卷的最终版本各两次。评估了问卷的内部一致性和可靠性。此外，还使用 Spearman 相关系数分析了 Hand20 与 DASH-T 评分之间的相关性。
共有 104 名患者参加了研究。土耳其版 Hand20 符合可靠性和有效性的设定标准。内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha = 0.93）和测试-重测可靠性均很好（r = 0.82）。Hand20 与 DASH-T 呈正相关且具有统计学意义（r = 0.76，P < 0.001）。
结果表明，土耳其版 Hand20 具有良好的重测信度和有效性。由于这项研究，确定 Hand20 是一种用于测量土耳其语患者上肢残疾的有效且可靠的工具。
