Psycho-education of carers is a part of good mental health practice. Our objective was to translate and validate the English questionnaire "Assessment of Psycho-Education of Carers" (APEC) into Urdu (APEC-U), for use in Pakistan.
Following development and validation of APEC, it was translated into Urdu after consultation with experts and translators. After pretesting, one hundred and twenty bilingual male 67(55.8%) and female 53(44.2%) primary carers, who could understand both Urdu and English, and were carers for more than three months, were asked to fill in the self reporting Urdu questionnaire at the Fatima Memorial Hospital Psychiatry Out-Patient Department. The data were collected over a period of three months from September, 2018 to November, 2018.
Responses were analyzed for internal consistency, reliability, Intraclass correlation coefficients and kappa statistics.
APEC-U was understandable and capable of assessing psycho-education in Urdu. High internal consistency was demonstrated on the full scale as 0.859. Degree of agreement (<0.001) between the Urdu and the originally developed English version was evaluated by Cohen's Kappa, and a high degree of agreement was demonstrated.
The Urdu questionnaire can adequately assess psycho-education of carers in psychiatric settings.
对护理人员进行心理教育是良好心理健康实践的一部分。我们的目标是将英文问卷“护理人员心理教育评估”(APEC)翻译成乌尔都语(APEC-U),以便在巴基斯坦使用。
在APEC开发并验证后,经与专家和翻译人员协商将其翻译成乌尔都语。预测试后,120名能理解乌尔都语和英语且担任护理人员超过三个月的双语初级护理人员(男性67名[55.8%],女性53名[44.2%])被要求在法蒂玛纪念医院精神科门诊部填写乌尔都语自填问卷。数据于2018年9月至2018年11月的三个月期间收集。
对回答进行内部一致性、可靠性、组内相关系数和kappa统计分析。
APEC-U易于理解,能够评估乌尔都语的心理教育情况。全量表显示出较高的内部一致性,为0.859。通过科恩kappa系数评估乌尔都语版本与最初开发的英语版本之间的一致程度(<0.001),结果显示高度一致。
乌尔都语问卷能够充分评估精神科环境中护理人员的心理教育情况。
