Background

Research suggests that clinician's attitudes and beliefs towards low back pain (LBP) management may affect their patients' treatment course and outcomes. Attitudes to Back pain Scale in musculoskeletal practitioners (ABS-mp) is a questionnaire developed to assess musculoskeletal clinicians' attitudes and beliefs regarding LBP.

Objective

This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Hebrew version of the ABS-mp questionnaire.

Design

Cross-sectional study with nested prospective sub-sample.

Methods

The translation was performed in several steps following the cross-cultural adaptation process. Test-retest and internal consistency reliability of the scales were evaluated along with convergent validity exploration between the ABS-mp and the Health Care Providers' Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale (HC-PAIRS). A convenience sample of 177 physical therapists were requested to participate in the study, out of which 132 have completed the survey, providing a 74% participation rate.

Results

The forward-backward translation process revealed minor discrepancies that were addressed by the expert panel. The test-retest reliability of the Hebrew ABS-mp was excellent (ICC = 0.906). Five items were found to be irrelevant for the Israeli physiotherapy health settings and were omitted. For internal consistency, the average inter-item correlation reached appropriate values for the Psychological, Biomedical, Re-activation, and Limitation on Sessions subscales (0.437, 0.265, 0.341, 0.197, respectively). For convergent validity, the ABS-mp's Biomedical subscale and the HC-PAIRS's total score were moderately correlated (0.535).

Conclusions

The Hebrew version of the ABS-mp has been validated and has demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability, good convergent validity and acceptable internal consistency.

肌肉骨骼从业者对背痛量表态度的跨文化适应、验证和心理测量评估 - 希伯来语版

背景

研究表明，临床医生对腰痛 (LBP) 管理的态度和信念可能会影响患者的治疗过程和结果。肌肉骨骼从业者背痛态度量表 (ABS-mp) 是一份问卷，旨在评估肌肉骨骼临床医生对 LBP 的态度和信念。

客观的

本研究旨在翻译、文化适应和评估希伯来语版 ABS-mp 问卷的心理测量特性。

设计

具有嵌套前瞻性子样本的横断面研究。

方法

翻译是在跨文化适应过程之后的几个步骤中进行的。量表的重测和内部一致性信度与 ABS-mp 和医疗保健提供者的疼痛和损伤关系量表 (HC-PAIRS) 之间的收敛效度探索一起进行了评估。177 名物理治疗师的便利样本被要求参与该研究，其中 132 人已完成调查，参与率为 74%。

结果

前后翻译过程揭示了专家小组解决的细微差异。希伯来语 ABS-mp 的重测信度非常好 (ICC = 0.906)。五个项目被发现与以色列理疗健康环境无关，因此被省略。对于内部一致性，平均项目间相关性达到了心理、生物医学、重新激活和会话限制的适当值（分别为 0.437、0.265、0.341、0.197）。对于收敛效度，ABS-mp 的生物医学分量表和 HC-PAIRS 的总分呈中度相关 (0.535)。

结论

ABS-mp 的希伯来语版本已经过验证，并显示出出色的重测信度、良好的收敛效度和可接受的内部一致性。
