low back pain (LBP) is the main cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Psychosocial factors have been shown to be good predictors of persistent LBP. Within these, unhelpful beliefs about the back seem to be important in the development and chronicity of the symptoms. The Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire (Back-PAQ) is an instrument that explores beliefs about the back that has been validated for people with and without back pain and healthcare professionals. However, until now, it has not been translated and validated for the Argentine population.
translate into Spanish, cross-cultural adapt and validate the Back-PAQ for the Argentine population with and without back pain.
study of diagnostic accuracy/assessment scale.
the study was carried out in three consecutive phases: translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation. We included Argentinians aged 18 years or more. We used the Back-PAQ, modified Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (mFABQ) and the Global Rating of Change (GROC) scale to assess the psychometric properties.
three hundred and seventy-two participants were included for the analysis. The time taken to answer and score the questionnaire was 5.6 and 1.6 min, respectively. Neither a ceiling nor a floor effect was observed. Internal consistency was 0.76. One hundred and eighty-six participants were considered stable. Test-retest reliability was 0.90. A weak correlation (0.33) was found between the Back-PAQ and the mFABQ.
the Argentine version of the Back-PAQ is a viable, reliable and valid tool for the assessment of the back beliefs of the Argentine population.
下背痛（LBP）是全球导致伤残调整生命年的主要原因。心理社会因素已被证明是持续性 LBP 的良好预测因素。在这些因素中，对背部的不良信念似乎在症状的发展和慢性化中很重要。腰痛态度问卷（Back-PAQ）是一种用于探索对背部的信念的工具，已在有和没有腰痛的人群以及医疗保健专业人员中得到验证。然而，到目前为止，它尚未被翻译成西班牙语并在阿根廷人群中进行验证。
将 Back-PAQ 翻译成西班牙语，进行跨文化调适，并验证其在有和没有腰痛的阿根廷人群中的有效性。
诊断准确性/评估量表研究。
该研究分三个连续阶段进行：翻译、跨文化调适和验证。我们纳入了年龄在 18 岁及以上的阿根廷人。我们使用了 Back-PAQ、改良的恐惧回避信念问卷（mFABQ）和整体变化评级（GROC）量表来评估心理测量特性。
共有 372 名参与者进行了分析。回答和评分问卷分别需要 5.6 分钟和 1.6 分钟。既没有天花板效应也没有地板效应。内部一致性为 0.76。186 名参与者被认为是稳定的。重测信度为 0.90。Back-PAQ 与 mFABQ 之间存在弱相关（0.33）。
阿根廷版的 Back-PAQ 是一种可行、可靠和有效的工具，可用于评估阿根廷人群对背部的信念。
