Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of English start back screening tool into Bangla for patients with low back pain

This study was intended to translate and culturally adapt the STarT back screening tool to produce an equivalent Bangla version. Total 58 patients with low back pain completed the newly developed Bangla version of STarT back screening tool and Bangla version of Ronald Morris Disability Questionnaire seven days apart. Reliability was assessed by internal consistency (Chronbach’s alpha for overall score 0.81 and for spychosocial subscale was 0.76) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient for overall score was 0.78 and for spychosocial subscale was 0.71). Reliability of Bangla version of STarT back screening tool was very good. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was carried out on the Bangla version of STarT back screening tool and Bangla version of RMDQ to assess construct validity (overall score was 0.88 and spychosocial subscale score was 0.83) which indicate a strong correlation between them. This study shows that the Bangla version of STarT back screening tool is a reliable, valid and culturally adapted responsive screening tool for the patients with low back pain.

Test Retest Reliability

Background: The STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) is a self-report questionnaire developed for prognostic purposes which evaluates risk factors for disability outcomes in patients with chronic low back pain. Previous studies found that its use enables to provide a cost-effective stratified care. However, its dimensionality has been assessed only using exploratory approaches, and reports on its psychometric properties are conflicting.Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the factorial structure and the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST).Materials and Methods: Patients with medical diagnosis of low back pain were enrolled from a rehabilitation unit of a tertiary care hospital specialized in obesity care (Sample 1) and from a clinical internship center of an osteopathic training institute (Sample 2). At baseline and after 7 days patients were asked to fill a battery of self-report questionnaires. The factorial structure, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity of the SBST were assessed.Results: One hundred forty-six patients were enrolled (62 from Sample 1 and 84 from Sample 2). The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fit of the original two-correlated factors model was adequate (CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.03). Cronbach's α of the total scale (α = 0.64) and of the subscales (physical subscale α = 0.55; psychological subscale α = 0.61) was below the cutoffs, partly because of the low correlation of item 2 with the other items. Test-retest reliability was adequate (ICC = 0.84). The SBST had moderate correlations with comparisons questionnaires, except for the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, which had a high correlation (r = 0.65).Discussion: The SBST has adequate psychometric properties and can be used to assess prognostic factors for disability in low back pain patients.

Test Retest Reliability

The purpose of this study was to adapt the Spitzer Quality of Life Index and evaluate its reliability in patients with low back pain. The following steps were followed: translation, back-translation, evaluation by a committee, and pretest. The reliability was estimated through stability and homogeneity assessment. The validity was tested comparing scores of the Spitzer (QLI) with the SF-36 and the Roland-Morris. The psychometric properties were evaluated by the self-application on 120 patients. Results showed that the Cronbach's Alpha was 0.77. Intraclass correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.960 (p<0.001; IC95%: 0.943; 0.972). Spearman´s correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.937 (p<0.001). There was significant correlation between the Spitzer (QLI) scores and the dimensions of the SF-36. A significant negative correlation was found between the Spitzer (QLI) and the Roland-Morris scores (r = - 0.730). The adaptation process was conducted successfully and the questionnaire presented reliable psychometric measures.
