BACKGROUND: Research suggests that clinician's attitudes and beliefs towards low back pain (LBP) management may affect their patients' treatment course and outcomes. Attitudes to Back pain Scale in musculoskeletal practitioners (ABS-mp) is a questionnaire developed to assess musculoskeletal clinicians' attitudes and beliefs regarding LBP. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Hebrew version of the ABS-mp questionnaire. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study with nested prospective sub-sample. METHODS: The translation was performed in several steps following the cross-cultural adaptation process. Test-retest and internal consistency reliability of the scales were evaluated along with convergent validity exploration between the ABS-mp and the Health Care Providers' Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale (HC-PAIRS). A convenience sample of 177 physical therapists were requested to participate in the study, out of which 132 have completed the survey, providing a 74% participation rate. RESULTS: The forward-backward translation process revealed minor discrepancies that were addressed by the expert panel. The test-retest reliability of the Hebrew ABS-mp was excellent (ICC = 0.906). Five items were found to be irrelevant for the Israeli physiotherapy health settings and were omitted. For internal consistency, the average inter-item correlation reached appropriate values for the Psychological, Biomedical, Re-activation, and Limitation on Sessions subscales (0.437, 0.265, 0.341, 0.197, respectively). For convergent validity, the ABS-mp's Biomedical subscale and the HC-PAIRS's total score were moderately correlated (0.535). CONCLUSIONS: The Hebrew version of the ABS-mp has been validated and has demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability, good convergent validity and acceptable internal consistency.
背景:研究表明,临床医生对腰痛(LBP)管理的态度和信念可能会影响患者的治疗过程和结果。针对肌肉骨骼从业者的腰痛态度量表(ABS-mp)是一种用于评估肌肉骨骼临床医生对 LBP 的态度和信念的问卷。
目的:本研究旨在翻译、文化适应和评估 ABS-mp 问卷的希伯来语版本的心理测量学特性。
设计:具有嵌套前瞻性子样本的横断面研究。
方法:翻译是按照跨文化适应过程的几个步骤进行的。评估了量表的重测信度和内部一致性,以及 ABS-mp 与医疗保健提供者的疼痛和损伤关系量表(HC-PAIRS)之间的收敛效度。要求 177 名物理治疗师参加研究,其中 132 名完成了调查,参与率为 74%。
结果:正向-反向翻译过程中发现了一些小的差异,这些差异由专家小组解决。希伯来语 ABS-mp 的重测信度非常好(ICC=0.906)。有 5 个项目与以色列物理治疗保健环境无关,因此被删除。对于内部一致性,平均项目间相关性达到了心理、生物医学、再激活和治疗次数限制子量表的适当值(分别为 0.437、0.265、0.341、0.197)。对于收敛效度,ABS-mp 的生物医学子量表和 HC-PAIRS 的总分中度相关(0.535)。
结论:希伯来语版的 ABS-mp 已被验证,具有极好的重测信度、良好的收敛效度和可接受的内部一致性。
