Low Back Pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability globally. Standardized outcome measures for measuring LBP disability exist but none was developed with consideration for the Nigerian culture and environment.
This study was aimed to develop a Nigerian culture- and environment-friendly LBP scale, the Ibadan Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (ILBPDQ).
Items on ILBPDQ were devised from literature review, interview of patients (231 consecutively-sampled patients with chronic non-specific LBP) and 12 professionals experienced in LBP management and were contentvalidated. The first draft of the questionnaire underwent pretesting twice among individuals with chronic non-specific LBP (n=35 and 114 respectively), factor analysis and experts' reviews to produce the final version.
The final scale comprised 18 items with a two-factor structure (common Activity of Daily Living [ADL] and culture-specific ADL). It has eigen value ≥ 1 and explained 60% of variance. Items on ILBPDQ covered important constructs relevant to an average Nigerian patient with LBP.
A scale for assessing disability in LBP is made available for use in Nigeria and similar populations.
None declared.
下腰痛（LBP）是全球致残的主要原因。存在用于测量LBP残疾的标准化结局指标，但没有一个是在考虑尼日利亚文化和环境的情况下制定的。
本研究旨在开发一种适合尼日利亚文化和环境的LBP量表，即伊巴丹下腰痛残疾问卷（ILBPDQ）。
ILBPDQ的条目是通过文献综述、对患者（231例连续抽样的慢性非特异性LBP患者）的访谈以及12名LBP管理经验丰富的专业人员制定的，并进行了内容效度验证。问卷初稿在慢性非特异性LBP患者（分别为n = 35和114）中进行了两次预测试、因子分析和专家评审，以产生最终版本。
最终量表包含18个条目，具有双因素结构（常见日常生活活动[ADL]和特定文化的ADL）。其特征值≥1，解释了60%的方差。ILBPDQ的条目涵盖了与普通尼日利亚LBP患者相关的重要结构。
已提供一种用于评估LBP残疾的量表，供尼日利亚及类似人群使用。
