The Quality Indicators for Physiotherapy Management of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis (QUIPA) is the only patient-reported outcome measure to assess the quality indicators of physiotherapy management of hip/knee osteoarthritis (OA). It consists of 3 subscales and a total of 18 questions. The purpose of this research was to translate and adapt the QUIPA into the Turkish language using a cross-cultural approach as well as test its validity and reliability for Turkish-speaking patients with hip/knee OA. Ninety-two patients with hip/knee OA were enrolled in the research. The cross-cultural adaptation of the QUIPA was performed according to guidelines defined by Beaton et al. Participants completed the QUIPA tool twice at an interval of 7 days. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency were determined by interpreting the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, respectively. Construct validity was tested via exploratory factor analysis. For the first, second, and third subscales and total score of QUIPA, ICC was found to be 0.895, 0.947, 0.665, and 0.925, respectively. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.682, 0.797, 0.593, and 0.812. The Exploratory Factor Analysis demonstrated that the QUIPA tool is based on 3 factors. These results indicate that the Turkish version of the QUIPA has excellent test-retest reliability and good internal consistency. Therefore, the Turkish version of the QUIPA seems to be a valid and reliable tool to assess the quality indicators of physiotherapy management of hip/knee OA in Turkish-speaking patients. It is intended to be used in clinical settings and research works.
《髋关节和膝关节骨关节炎物理治疗管理质量指标》（QUIPA）是唯一用于评估髋关节/膝关节骨关节炎（OA）物理治疗管理质量指标的患者报告结局测量工具。它由 3 个分量表和总共 18 个问题组成。本研究旨在通过跨文化方法将 QUIPA 翻译成土耳其语，并对土耳其语髋关节/膝关节 OA 患者进行其有效性和可靠性测试。92 名髋关节/膝关节 OA 患者参与了这项研究。QUIPA 的跨文化适应是按照 Beaton 等人定义的指南进行的。参与者在 7 天的间隔内两次完成 QUIPA 工具。通过解释组内相关系数（ICC）和 Cronbach's alpha 系数分别确定测试-重测信度和内部一致性。通过探索性因子分析测试结构有效性。对于 QUIPA 的第一、第二和第三分量表以及总分，ICC 分别为 0.895、0.947、0.665 和 0.925。Cronbach's alpha 系数分别为 0.682、0.797、0.593 和 0.812。探索性因子分析表明，QUIPA 工具基于 3 个因素。这些结果表明，土耳其语版的 QUIPA 具有极好的测试-重测信度和良好的内部一致性。因此，土耳其语版的 QUIPA 似乎是一种评估土耳其语髋关节/膝关节 OA 患者物理治疗管理质量指标的有效且可靠的工具。它旨在用于临床环境和研究工作中。
