“…Again, Swedish culture and context are similar to those in Norway, which may partly explain the similar results. The present study showed the same internal consistency for the total scale as the Spanish translation (0.96) [15]. The coefficients greater than 0.95 may suggest a redundancy among items [17].…”

“…This was expected since Norway and Sweden are neighboring and comparable countries when it comes to the sociocultural context for pregnant women. In order to have the same version of the questionnaire to translate from as other countries' translations [15,16], we chose to translate from the English version of the pelvic girdle questionnaire to Swedish and not from the original Norwegian version. A limitation with this choice is that the English version of the pelvic girdle questionnaire has not been validated.…”

“…To be able to compare studies across countries, equivalent questionnaires are needed. Pelvic girdle questionnaire is at present available in English, Norwegian, Spanish and French, however a Swedish version is lacking [11,15,16]. There is a need to examine the measurement properties [17] of the Swedish version of the pelvic girdle questionnaire and to further evaluate the pelvic girdle questionnaire's ability to discriminate between women with or without need of treatment.…”

Purpose: The aims of this study were to translate and culturally adapt The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire to Swedish, and to evaluate the construct and discriminative validity. Materials and methods: A translation and cultural adaptation process was performed according to international guidelines. Pilot tests were conducted among 16 women during pregnancy and post-partum. Analysis of the construct and discriminative validity of the Swedish version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire was performed in a sample of 177 pregnant women suffering from pain in the lumbo-pelvic area. Participants completed the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire along with Oswestry Disability Index, numeric rating scales for pain intensity and for pelvic girdle pain concerns. Results: The Swedish version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire showed high internal consistency with Cronbach's alphas between 0.82 and 0.96, good convergent validity with high correlations with the Oswestry Disability Index and the pain intensity numeric rating scale, whereas moderate correlation was shown between the concerns numeric rating scale and the other instruments as hypothesized. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed good discriminatory capacity for women in need of treatment. Conclusions: The Swedish version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire has patient acceptability. It has good construct and discriminative validity for measurements of consequences of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain among Swedish speaking women. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain may be disabling and long-lasting, however treatable when identified. The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire is the only condition-specific, reliability tested and validated questionnaire for pelvic girdle pain. The Swedish version of the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire has patient acceptability, good construct validity for pelvic girdle pain among Swedish speaking women, and shows good discriminative capacity for women in need of treatment.

“…Furthermore, the Nepali PGQ showed moderate internal consistency, which is similar to the English, Iranian and Brazilian-Portuguese PGQ versions (174,188,189). The internal consistency was slightly higher in the Polish, French-Canadian, Spanish, Swedish and Japanese PGQ versions (224)(225)(226)(227)(228).…”

Background: The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) is a tool designed to evaluate pain and disability in pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain (PGP). This study was conducted with the aim of translating and determining the psychometric properties of PGQ in pregnant women in Iran. Materials and Methods: The present methodological cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 pregnant women living in Tehran in 2017. The original English version of PGQ was translated into Persian version after the permission of the tool designer using the back-translation method. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) methods were used to determine the construct validity, as well as Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. Results: The results of factor analysis showed that the study of this scale consists of two extracted subscales as activities and symptoms. EFA and CFA confirmed two factors that determined 70.22% variance. Furthermore, findings showed that high internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha = 0.961, for the total score of instrument and for the factors, ranged from 0.87 to 0.91. Cronbach's alpha symptoms and activities and total were 0.91, 0.87, and 0.87, respectively. ICC of symptoms and activities and total was 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.88–0.93), 0.81 (95% CI: 0.66–0.92), and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.68–0.93), respectively. Conclusion: The Persian version of PGP, as a valid and reliable tool, has the potential for studying and evaluating the activity and symptoms of PGP in pregnant women in Iran.
