Spanish version of the screening Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire: a cross-cultural adaptation and validation

Abstract

BackgroundSpanish is one of the five most spoken languages in the world. There is currently no published Spanish version of the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire (OMPQ). The aim of the present study is to describe the process of translating the OMPQ into Spanish and to perform an analysis of reliability, internal structure, internal consistency and concurrent criterion-related validity.MethodsDesign: Translation and psychometric testing. Procedure: Two independent translators translated the OMPQ into Spanish. From both translations a consensus version was achieved. A backward translation was made to verify and resolve any semantic or conceptual problems. A total of 104 patients (67 men/37 women) with a mean age of 53.48 (±11.63), suffering from chronic musculoskeletal disorders, twice completed a Spanish version of the OMPQ. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the reliability, the internal structure, internal consistency and concurrent criterion-related validity with reference to the gold standard questionnaire SF-12v2.ResultsAll variables except “Coping” showed a rate above 0.85 on reliability. The internal structure calculation through exploratory factor analysis indicated that 75.2% of the variance can be explained with six components with an eigenvalue higher than 1 and 52.1% with only three components higher than 10% of variance explained. In the concurrent criterion-related validity, several significant correlations were seen close to 0.6, exceeding that value in the correlation between general health and total value of the OMPQ.ConclusionsThe Spanish version of the screening questionnaire OMPQ can be used to identify Spanish patients with musculoskeletal pain at risk of developing a chronic disability.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12955-014-0157-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Spanish version of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons-Foot and Ankle Module (AAOS-FAMsp)

“…The process of adapting the Spanish AAOS-FAM was conducted following suggestions in the literature [ 11 , 12 ] and the procedure developed in previous studies that adapted Spanish-specific questionnaires for different body parts such as the upper limbs [ 3 ], back [ 10 ], lower limbs [ 1 ] or ankle and foot [ 16 , 17 ], using independent and native translators who assured the equivalence of the terms used in the original questionnaire. Cross-cultural adaptation of the AAOS-FAMsp allows clinicians to use this tool to assess the foot-ankle region.…”

“…Direct translation (English to Spanish) and the reverse translation (Spanish to English) were performed by two independent professional native translators. With the aim of ensuring the conceptual equivalence of the terms used, a translation process was performed, as recommended by the literature [ 10 – 12 ].

The Relationship Between Musculoskeletal Pains, Serum Estradiol Level and Climacteric Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women

“…This questionnaire has 25 questions consisting of 21 items rated on a scale of 0 to 10. Total scores are computed from 21 items and the maximum total score is 210 (15). In the present study, the participants were classi ed into three sub-scales (16): women with low risk for long-term disability (ÖMPQ <90), women with moderate risk for long-term disability (ÖMPQ = 90-105) and women with high risk for long-term disability (ÖMPQ > 105).…”

Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Hausa version of Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire in patients with non-specific low back pain

“…The questionnaire consists of 25 items, item 1-4 take sociodemographic information whilst item 5-25 formed the six components (factors) of the questionnaire (i.e. Pain, Coping Strategy, Distress, Work return expectancy, Fear-avoidance beliefs, Function) each item was scored from 0-10 [27]. The scored items were summed to provide a total score ranging from 0 to 210, a higher score indicates a higher disability.…”

“…This modified OMPSQ has adequate Psychometric properties [20,21] and other languages across the world; German [22], Persian [23], Chinese Hong-Kong [24], Turkish [25], Brazilian-Portuguese [14], French [26], Spanish [27], Dutch [28], Norwegian [29] and Chinese (Mandarin) [30].…”
