The Turkish version of the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire in patients with chronic neck pain: a cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity study

Abstract

Introduction: The cultural adaptation of a self-report measurement in different languages is important for developing common strategies for evaluation and treatment. The Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire (NBQ), which was developed to evaluate patients with neck pain, was adapted from the Bournemouth Questionnaire in accordance with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) categories. The aim of this study was to conduct the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity and reliability study of the NBQ. Material and methods: The study included 119 patients (93 females, 26 males; mean age: 37.2 ±11.8 years) with chronic nonspecific neck pain. The NBQ, Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) questionnaires were administered to all the subjects. Test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient) and the internal consistency (Cronbach's a) were the methods used for the reliability study. The relationship between NBQ, NDI and NHP was investigated for concurrent validity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used for construct validity. Results: The Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire showed good internal consistency (a = 0.87). The test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.913 (95% CI: 0.875-0.940). The correlations between NBQ and NDI and NHP were significant (p < 0.05). The questionnaire was found to have one factor and the explained variance was 59.084% as a result of factor analysis. Conclusions: The Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire is a valid and reliable scale for patients with chronic neck pain in the Turkish population.

Spanish Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire (NBQ) for Neck Pain Patients

“…When comparing the correlations of the NBQ-Sp with those of the different versions, only the correlations with the NDI could be taken into account, which has been used in most of the versions and by the original version [11] as well. The NBQ-Sp correlated with the NDI with a value of r = 0.657, similar to that indicated by the French version [28], with r = 0.67, or to the original version [11], which obtained a value of r = 0.51 (pre) and r = 0.71 (post), although it was lower than other versions, such as the Dutch version [36], with r = 0.82, and higher than other versions, such as the Turkish version II [34], with r = 0.32. In this sense, we can say that the NBQ-Sp correlates similarly with the NDI to the rest of the versions and the original version.…”

“…The results of this study suggest that the questionnaire has been understood by the participants, thus interpreting that a correct translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the original English questionnaire into Spanish was carried out. The recommendations of the available literature were followed in order to favor the comparison of the results of this questionnaire with those obtained in the different language versions, such as the German [ 27 ], French [ 28 ], Italian [ 29 ], Dutch [ 30 ], Brazilian [ 12 ], Chinese [ 31 ], Persian [ 32 ] and Turkish I [ 33 ], II [ 34 ] y II [ 35 ] versions.…”

Translation, Cross-cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire: Persian Version

“…The NBQ has been cross-culturally translated into several languages with good internal consistency and construct validity to evaluate low back pain and NP. 24 Recently, the version of this instrument has been translated and validated in various languages such as Arabic, 25 , 26 Brazilian, 27 Turkish, 28 , 29 French, 15 Dutch, 16 German, 12 and Italian. 17 The 6-step translation and cross cultural adaptation process after Beaton et al, 14 was used in this study and included forward and back translations, validation by an expert committee, face validity and testing in NP patients followed by statistical analysis.…”

“…As the total score obtained from the questionnaire increases, the severity of disability increases [19]. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Telci et al in 2019 [20].…”
