“…Validity was ensured by checking back transcripts against original audio recordings for accuracy, thereby confirming the semantic equivalence of the data. [15] The transcripts were prepared for coding by providing adequate space at the margin for comments. Using highlighters, potential patterns were marked as follows: (i) notes on the text were analysed with highlights; (ii) codes were identified and matched with extracted data; (iii) codes were collated together on a board; (iv) the different codes were sorted into potential themes, grouping relevant coded data extracted within the identified themes in tabular form with names of code and the meaning identified and described; (v) using an iterative process, a thematic map was generated from the FGD and in-depth interview sessions; (vi) themes were defined and redefined; the themes involved identifying what was important in answering the research questions.…”

RESEARCHBackground. Diverse barriers influence cervical cancer screening uptake among rural women. The study explored barriers related to the uptake of cervical cancer screening among rural men and women in 14 communities of Ado-Odo Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. Objective. To inform the development of a cervical cancer screening model for use by rural women. Methods. A qualitative exploratory research design was used. Qualitative information was collected from purposively sampled 28 individuals (13 rural men and 15 rural women) using focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Data were analysed thematically. Results. Five categorical barrier themes were identified including hospital-related, economic, geographical, educational and psychosocial barriers. Conclusion. To address the identified barriers, the involvement of spouses and religious and cultural leaders in the planning and implementation of cervical cancer screening intervention is recommended. Cervical cancer screening services should be integrated into the services of primary healthcare centres. The government should consider providing subsidised or free screening programmes for rural women.

“…Where standardized assessment tools are used, there is guidance to ensure that translation is accurate and reliable with several stages of forward and back translation and validation of each step. 19 There is no guidance for using translated patient interviews as an outcome measure. We have shown that the reliability of the mRS as an outcome measure is maintained when scoring translated assessments from 2 culturally diverse populations.…”

C linical trials in acute stroke are large and expensive, even with recent innovations in trial design.1 The modified Rankin scale (mRS) is the most commonly used outcome measure in stroke research. 2 The mRS is an ordinal scale of 7 categories describing full recovery, by increasing degrees of disability, to death.3 Typically, mRS assessment is based on a clinician's rating of a patient interview, and interobserver variability is common. 4 Meta-analysis suggests an overall reliability of κ=0.62 (κ w =0.9), 4 but this may be less (κ=0.25) in multicenter studies. 5 Mandatory training in mRS assessment is used in most trials to mitigate this, 6 but the problem persists. The end point misclassification inherent in this interobserver variability may affect trial power 7 and treatment effect size. 8 Central adjudication of trial end points is routinely used in a variety of settings but has been rarely used in stroke. Group adjudication of mRS has been based on review of written summaries 9 or telephone interview. 10,11 Advantages to a remote adjudication approach include the following: expert opinion and experience; quality control of mRS interviews and avoiding potential bias from use of mRS where local observers are not or cannot be blinded to treatment allocation. To date, remote functional assessment has been limited as a result of the difficulty in capturing a high-fidelity recording, suitable for off-line review. Furthermore, most trials are international, and culturally sensitive translation may also prove problematic. Our pilot data suggest that a video-based mRS assessment is a valid and reliable solution. 12Background and Purpose-Use of the modified Rankin scale (mRS) in multicenter trials may be limited by interobserver variability. We assessed the effect of this on trial power and developed a novel group adjudication approach. Methods-We generated power and sample size estimates from simulated trials modeled with varying mRS reliability.We conducted a virtual acute stroke trial across 14 UK sites to develop a group adjudication approach. Traditional mRS interviews, performed at local sites, were digitally recorded and scored by adjudication committee. We assessed the effect of translation by comparing scores in translated mRS interviews, originally conducted in English and Mandarin. Agreement was measured using κ and weighted κ (κ w ) statistics and intraclass correlation coefficient. Results-Statistical simulations suggest that improving mRS reliability from κ=0.25 to κ=0.5 or 0.7 may allow reductions in sample size of n=386 or 490 in a typical n=2000 study. Our virtual acute stroke trial included 370 participants and 563 mRS video assessments. We adjudicated mRS in 538 of 563 (96%) study visits. Methods Sample Size SimulationsWe performed simulations to demonstrate the effect of increasing mRS reliability and using multiple observers to assign mRS scores. We generated power estimates from simulated mRS studies under various combinations of sample size (N), effect size (δ), reliability (unweighted κ...

Translation and back‐translation in qualitative nursing research: methodological review

Abstract: Development of the translation procedures could provide qualitative nursing researchers with a guide when collecting data in one language and presenting results in another language. In this way, the necessary rigour in qualitative nursing research could be achieved.
