“…Back trouble must be rested) did not significantly change the homogeneity of the items within the scale. This is similar to the findings by Maki and colleagues [15] where BBQ still kept higher internal consistencies without including items 1 and 13. However, the authors in this present study, do canvas for the retention of the two items, as all nine items still contributed to the overall excellent internal consistency of the BBQ-Y.…”

“…The findings of this study conform to the recommendation of an ICC of 0.75 or more, regarded as excellent in the literature [25]. The ICC coefficient of the BBQ-Y is higher than that reported in previous studies including the Modern Standard Arabic (0.80) [15], traditional Chinese (0.85) [29], original English (0.87) [10], the Simplified Chinese (0.88) [16] and the Arabic (0.88) [17] versions. Alongside the ICC, we explored the limits of agreement between test and retest data.…”

“…The BBQ-Y showed good internal consistency, as shown by the Cronbach's coefficient of 0.7. Although slightly lower, the Cronbach's coefficient of the BBQ-Y was comparable to those found in other translations [10,15,35,36]. While our study focussed on persons with chronic LBP, others studies included patients with and without LBP [10,16,35,36].…”

“…Because of its psychometric properties and clinical usability, various translations of the BBQ exist. Some of these include the modern standard Arabic [15], Chinese [16], Arabic [17] and French [18] translations.…”

Purpose: To translate, culturally adapt and conduct a psychometric evaluation of the Yoruba version of the Back Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ) among patients with chronic low-back pain. Methods: The English version of the BBQ was translated into the Yoruba language through a process of forwardbackward translation, reconciliation and harmonization of the reconciled items sequentially. Thereafter, Cronbach's Alpha, Intra-Class Correlation (ICC), Bland-Altman's analysis were used to determine the internal consistency, testretest reliability and limits of agreement of the Yoruba version of the BBQ (BBQ-Y). Other psychometric properties of the BBQ-Y explored comprised acceptability, standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change (MDC), convergent validity and floor and ceiling effects. While 119 respondents participated in the validity testing, only 51 of them were involved in the reliability testing of the BBQ-Y. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Alpha level was set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of the respondents all the respondents was 56.8 ± 8.5 years. The BBQ-Y had excellent acceptability with a global Cronbach Alpha score of 0.71. The SEM and MDC of the BBQ-Y were 2.3 and 6.4. The BBQ-Y ICC score for testretest was 0.89, while the Bland-Altman analysis showing limits of agreements for the test-retest reliability were − 6.84 and 5.70. The convergent validity of the BBQ-Y showed a weak correlation (r = 0.273, p = 0.001) with pain intensity using the visual analogue scale. Conclusion: This is the first study to culturally adapt the BBY-Y and determined its psychometric properties. The BBQ-Y has adequate psychometric properties and it is an appropriate outcome measure for use among Yoruba speaking patients with chronic low-back pain.

“…BBQ has been used to predict recovery rate from back pain [9, 10], in population studies assessing public attitudes and as an outcome to assess effectiveness of educational campaigns [11–13]. To our knowledge, the BBQ has been translated into Arabic [14, 15], German [10], Chinese [16, 17] and French [18]. Most of these methodological studies have shown good test-retest reliability and validity.…”

BackgroundThe Back Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ) is a 14-item patient-reported questionnaire that measures attitudes and beliefs about the consequences of back pain. The BBQ has recently been translated into Norwegian, but its psychometric properties have not yet been tested. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the BBQ when used on elderly patients with back pain.MethodA prospective cohort study with a test-retest design among 116 elderly patients (> 55 years of age) seeking primary care for a new episode of back pain. Test-retest, standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change (MDC), internal consistency and construct validity by a priori hypotheses (Spearman’s- and Pearson correlation coefficient) were tested.ResultsA total of 116 patients, mean age (SD) 67.7 (8.3), were included and 63 patients responded to the test-retest assessment. The mean (SD) BBQ sum scores (range 9–45) were 29.8 (7.0) and 29.2 (6.7) for the test and retest respectively. The test-retest was acceptable with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.54–0.82), SEM was 3.8 and MDC 10.5. Internal consistency with Cronbach’s alpha was good (0.82) and acceptable construct validity was supported by the confirmation of 75% of the a priori hypotheses.ConclusionThe Norwegian version of the BBQ demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability and good construct validity and can be used to assess pessimistic beliefs in elderly patients with back pain.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) has emerging as an epidemic, multifactorial and multidimensional condition in older age. Assessment of attitudes and beliefs of patients with back pain is necessary for understanding the impact of psychosocial factors on pain perception and management. OBJECTIVES: To cross-culturally adapt and examine the validity and reproducibility (intra and interrater reliability and agreement) of the Back Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ) in older Brazilians with acute LBP. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional methodological report conducted at the Department of Physical Therapy of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. METHODS: The present study was conducted for translating, adapting, and examining the psychometric properties of a questionnaire. Participants aged ≥ 60 years experiencing an acute episode of LBP were recruited. Coefficients of internal consistency, reliability and agreement were obtained using Cronbach’s α, intraclass correlations, and standard error of measurement and the smallest detectable change, respectively. RESULTS: Twenty-six participants aged between 60-84 years and reporting a mean of 9.8 (4.3) years of schooling completed the study. The Brazilian Portuguese-language version of the BBQ (BBQ-Brazil) was proposed and presented with adequate conceptual, semantic, operational, and measurement equivalence from the original version. Intra and interrater evaluations showed moderate (0.74) and excellent (0.91) intraclass correlation coefficients, respectively, with small standard error of measurement for both evaluations. Internal consistency was considered adequate (0.70). CONCLUSION: BBQ-Brazil had consistent measurements of validity and reproducibility, and proved to be a valuable tool in clinical practice for addressing attitudes and beliefs of older patients with acute LBP.
