The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire is a brief, self-administered questionnaire which is designed to quantify headache-related disability in a 3-month period. We have tested a Turkish version of the MIDAS questionnaire in 60 migraine patients. Sixty of the clinically diagnosed migraine headache sufferers were enrolled in a 90-day diary study and completed the MIDAS questionnaire in the first, 21st and the last day of the 90-day study. The scores taken from the diary and the scores of the MIDAS taken at different times were evaluated by the correlation tests of both Pearson and Spearman for each question and total scores. Cronbach's scores taken from the diary and taken from the test of the MIDAS which was applied at different times were evaluated. Pearson's correlation on the responses in the initial MIDAS questions was between 0.44 (reduced productivity in household chores) and 0.78 (missed work or school days). The correlation of the Spearman was similar to the Pearson values. As a result, we found that the overall score of the MIDAS has a good reliability and its internal consistency is also good (Cronbach's α 0.87). These findings support the use of the MIDAS questionnaire as a clinical and research tool on Turkish patients.

Abstract Objective This research was conducted to determine the psychometric characteristics of the “Spiritual Needs Assessment Scale of Patients with Cancer” in Turkish patients with cancer. Methods This study used psychometric methods to test the adapted tool. The participants of this study were patients with a diagnosis of cancer in the outpatients and inpatients medical oncology and hematology clinics of a university hospital in Turkey. 400 patients determined by power analysis were included in the study. The data were collected in 2018. We used the descriptive form and “Spiritual Needs Assessment Scale of Patients with Cancer.” The obtained data were evaluated using Cronbach's α reliability coefficient, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and factor analysis. Results In the present study, the factor loads of the items were sufficient and explained 39.18% of the total variance. Cronbach's α value of the scale was 0.85. Significance of results As a result, it was found that the validity and reliability of the “Spiritual Needs Assessment Scale of Patients with Cancer” were ensured and they could be used in Turkish patients.

Midas Questionnaire

Abstract Background. The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire is widely used for determining headache-related disability. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no validated Spanish version of the questionnaire. It is composed of seven items; the first five items constitute the main scale, while the sixth and seventh items refer respectively to the frequency and intensity of headache. The present study is aimed at analyzing the clinimetric properties of the Spanish version of the MIDAS questionnaire in a population of university students.Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study of validation of measuring instruments. One hundred fifty-three subjects participated in the study. We analyzed construct validity by factor analysis, test-retest reliability by the Intraclass Correlation Coeficient (ICC), internal consistency, and concurrent validity with respect to the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12).Results. Factor analysis showed a two factors structure composed. The questionnaire presented good reliability for the MIDAS-main scale score ([ICC = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.63 – 0.90]), excellent reliability for headache frequency (ICC = 0.90; 95%; CI: [0.79 – 0.95]), and moderate reliability for headache intensity (ICC = 0.63; 95% CI: [0.34 – 0.80]). The analysis also showed good internal consistency results (α Cronbach = 0.797) and a moderate correlation between MIDAS-main scale and physical summary component of SF-12 (Rho = -0.326; p < 0.001).Conclusions. The Spanish version of the MIDAS questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to measure headache-related disability in university subjects. The two additional items provide information that could help clinicians in making decisions.

Background. The study was designed to determine the validity and reliability of the Bahasa Melayu version (MIDAS-M) of the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire.Methods. Patients having migraine for more than six months attending the Neurology Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia, were recruited. Standard forward and back translation procedures were used to translate and adapt the MIDAS questionnaire to produce the Bahasa Melayu version. The translated Malay version was tested for face and content validity. Validity and reliability testing were further conducted with 100 migraine patients (1st administration) followed by a retesting session 21 days later (2nd administration).Results. A total of 100 patients between 15 and 60 years of age were recruited. The majority of the patients were single (66%) and students (46%). Cronbach’s alpha values were 0.84 (1st administration) and 0.80 (2nd administration). The test-retest reliability for the total MIDAS score was 0.73, indicating that the MIDAS-M questionnaire is stable; for the five disability questions, the test-retest values ranged from 0.77 to 0.87.Conclusion. The MIDAS-M questionnaire is comparable with the original English version in terms of validity and reliability and may be used for the assessment of migraine in clinical settings.

Food literacy is described as the behaviours involved in planning, purchasing, preparing, and eating food and is critical for achieving healthy dietary intakes. Food literacy programs require valid and reliable evaluation measures. The aim of this paper is to describe the development and validation of a self-administered questionnaire to measure food literacy behaviours targeted by the Food Sensations® for Adults program in Western Australia. Validity and reliability tests were applied to questionnaire item development commencing with (a) a deductive approach using Australian empirical evidence on food literacy as a construct along with its components and (b) adapting an extensively-tested food behaviour checklist to generate a pool of items for investigation. Then, an iterative process was applied to develop a specific food literacy behaviour checklist for program evaluation including exploratory factor analysis. Content, face, and construct validity resulted in a 14-item food behaviour checklist. Three factors entitled Plan & Manage, Selection, and Preparation were evident, resulting in Cronbach’s alpha 0.79, 0.76, and 0.81, respectively, indicating good reliability of each of these factors. This research has produced a validated questionnaire, is a useful starting point for other food literacy programs, and has applications globally.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Diabetic Foot Scale–Short Form (DFS-SF). The study was cross-sectional and conducted between January and October 2019 in a diabetic foot council of a university hospital. A total of 194 diabetic foot patients participated in the study. A Patient Identification Form and DFS-SF were used for data collection. Forward and backward translations were used in language validity. Expert opinions were obtained to determine the Content Validity Index. To determine construct validity, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used. Cronbach’s α internal consistency coefficient, item-scale correlation, and test-retest reliability were used to evaluate reliability. It was found that Content Validity Index was 0.97 (0.86-1.00), the factor loading of scale varied from 0.378 to 0.982, Cronbach’s α value varied from 0.81 to 0.94, and item-total correlations were between 0.30 and 0.75. The Turkish version of the DFS-SF was found valid and reliable to measure the quality of life of diabetic foot patients.
