The purpose of this study was to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and assess the reliability and validity of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) in pregnant Nepalese women.
The cross-cultural adaptation process was conducted according to the Guillemin guidelines. Reliability and validity were assessed using cross-sectional design. The participants responded to questionnaires of sociodemographics, the Nepali version of the PGQ, the Oswestry Disability Index, the Patient-Specific Functional Scale, the 5-item version of the Edinburgh Depression Scale, and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale. The internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's alpha. The test-retest reliability was calculated using the intraclass correlation coefficient and smallest detectable change. Construct validity was assessed by testing 9 a priori hypotheses that examine correlations between the PGQ activity and symptom subscales, and also among the PGQ subscales and Oswestry Disability Index, Numerical Pain Rating Scale, Patient-Specific Functional Scale, and 5-item version of the Edinburgh Depression Scale. Spearman and Pearson's correlation were used to assess the correlations.
A sample of 111 pregnant women were included in the study. The Cronbach's alpha for the Nepali version of the total PGQ was good (α = 0.83), and the test-retest reliability was acceptable (ICC, 0.72) with a measurement error of SDC 18.6 points. Seven of the 9 hypotheses found support, which confirms acceptable construct validity of the Nepali PGQ.
The Nepali version of the PGQ is a reliable and valid tool for assessing pelvic girdle pain in pregnant Nepalese women.
本研究旨在翻译、跨文化调适，并评估 Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire（PGQ）在尼泊尔孕妇中的信度和效度。
跨文化调适过程遵循 Guillemin 指南进行。使用横断面设计评估可靠性和有效性。参与者回答了社会人口统计学问卷、尼泊尔版 PGQ、Oswestry 残疾指数、患者特定功能量表、5 项版 Edinburgh 抑郁量表和数字疼痛评分量表。内部一致性采用 Cronbach's alpha 评估。使用组内相关系数和最小可检测变化计算测试-重测信度。结构有效性通过检验 9 个先验假设来评估，这些假设检验了 PGQ 活动和症状子量表之间的相关性，以及 PGQ 子量表与 Oswestry 残疾指数、数字疼痛评分量表、患者特定功能量表和 5 项版 Edinburgh 抑郁量表之间的相关性。采用 Spearman 和 Pearson 相关评估相关性。
本研究纳入了 111 名孕妇。尼泊尔版 PGQ 的总体 Cronbach's alpha 良好（α=0.83），测试-重测信度可接受（ICC，0.72），测量误差为 SDC 18.6 分。9 个假设中的 7 个得到了支持，这证实了尼泊尔版 PGQ 的结构有效性可接受。
尼泊尔版 PGQ 是评估尼泊尔孕妇骨盆带疼痛的可靠和有效的工具。
