Objective: To date, there are very limited instruments published in Malaysia in measuring role conflict and role ambiguity among counselors-in-training in supervision during practicum and internship training. The Role Conflict and Role Ambiguity Inventory (RCRAI) was developed to address the critical issues in trainees’ perception of role difficulties in supervision. The original version of the RCRAI demonstrated satisfactory reliability and high internal consistency. Thus, this study aims to translate the RCRAI into the Malay language and cross-culturally adapt the instrument to be used in the Malaysia setting. Methods: The Malay-language version of the RCRAI was developed according to the cross-cultural adaptation process methodology. The process included the following steps: translations; a synthesized of the translated versions; back-translations; a synthesized back-translated version; review by expert comittees, pretested instrument, and revised instrument. The RCRAI was pretested among 30 CITs between the age of 23 and 48 years old who enrolled in the practicum course, with the objective of determining the comprehensibility and clarity of the items for the target population. Results: The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the RCRAI followed for recommendations. The linguistic issues that emerged during the process were discussed by the subject matter experts and were slightly modified. During the pre-test, participants reported that the items on the questionnaire were clear, comprehensible and reliable to be used in the Malaysian context. Conclusions: The translation of the RCRAI into Malay and its cross-cultural adaptation were successful. Additional studies are needed to test the validity and psychometric properties of this Malay version in Malaysia.

Background: Diabetic foot care management is directed at patients with a history of complications, especially those with rising levels of hemoglobin A1c, and those who have had diabetes for several years. The aim of this study was to cross-culturally adapt a French-language version of the Diabetic Foot Self-care Questionnaire of the University of Malaga (DFSQ-UMA) for use in France. Methods: Cross-cultural adaptation was performed according to relevant international guidelines (International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research), and the factor structure was determined. Internal consistency was measured using the Cronbach α. Item-total and inter-item correlations were assessed. Results: The French data set comprised 146 patients. The mean ± SD patient age was 62.60 ± 15.47 years. There were 47 women and 99 men. The structure matrix (with three factors) was tested by confirmatory factor analysis. The 16-item questionnaire had a Cronbach α of 0.92. The mean value for inter-item correlations was 0.48 (range, 0.17–0.86). The rotated solution revealed a three-factor structure that accounted for 48.10% of the variance observed. A significant inverse correlation was observed between questionnaire scores and hemoglobin A1c levels (r = –0.17; P < .01). Conclusions: This study validates the French-language version of the DFSQ-UMA, which can be used as a self-reported outcome measure for French-speaking patients in France.
