Patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) are important to evaluate the impact of clinical practice in athletes with Achilles tendinopathy (AT). The TENDINopathy Severity assessment-Achilles (TENDINS-A) is a PROM that measures the pain, symptoms and physical function associated with AT. This study aims to translate, cross-culturally adapt and measure the properties of the Persian language version of the TENDINS-A (Persian-TENDINS-A) in athletes with AT. According to the COnsensus-based Standards for selecting health Measurement INstruments guidelines, 100 athletes with AT will be required for test-retest reliability, construct validity and internal consistency. Analyses will include confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, construct validity, SE of measurement, agreement, smallest detectable change, and floor and ceiling effects. Test-retest reliability of the Persian-TENDINS-A will be evaluated within 2-3 days for the Persian-TENDINS-A. Hypothesis testing of the Persian-TENDINS-A will be determined using a Pearson correlation of a single point in time between Persian-TENDINS-A scores with the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Achilles and Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaires. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Zabol (approval ID: IR.UOZ. REC.1403.004) based on the Declaration of Helsinki. Findings from this study will be disseminated to the athletes, clinicians and researchers through peer-reviewed journals and national and international conferences.
患者报告结局测量(PROMs)对于评估临床实践对跟腱病(AT)运动员的影响非常重要。跟腱病严重程度评估-跟腱(TENDINS-A)是一种PROM,用于测量与AT相关的疼痛、症状和身体功能。本研究旨在翻译、跨文化改编并测量AT运动员中波斯语版TENDINS-A(波斯语-TENDINS-A)的属性。根据基于共识的健康测量工具选择标准指南,将需要100名AT运动员进行重测信度、结构效度和内部一致性分析。分析将包括验证性因素分析、内部一致性、结构效度、测量标准误、一致性、最小可检测变化以及地板效应和天花板效应。波斯语-TENDINS-A的重测信度将在2至3天内对波斯语-TENDINS-A进行评估。波斯语-TENDINS-A的假设检验将使用波斯语-TENDINS-A得分与维多利亚运动评估-跟腱和疼痛自我效能问卷在单个时间点的Pearson相关性来确定。根据《赫尔辛基宣言》,该研究方案已获得扎博勒大学伦理委员会的批准(批准号:IR.UOZ.REC.1403.004)。本研究的结果将通过同行评审期刊以及国内和国际会议传播给运动员、临床医生和研究人员。
