Abstract
BackgroundChronic low back pain (CLBP) is a complex condition with significant physical, psychological, and social impacts. The Cognitive Behavior Questionnaire for Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain (CBQ-NSCLBP) was developed to assess cognitive-behavioral factors.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to translate the CBQ-NSCLBP into Turkish (CBQ-NSCLBP-Tr), evaluate its psychometric properties, and also to assess the clinicometric properties of the instrument, including its validity, reliability, and effectiveness in assessing cognitive-behavioral factors in Turkish-speaking individuals with chronic low back pain.MethodsA total of 120 participants with CLBP aged 18-65 years were recruited. Construct validity was evaluated by correlating CBQ-NSCLBP-Tr scores with established measures, including the Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire(FABQ), Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale(TKS), Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire(Back-PAQ), Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory(BDI). Test-retest reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC), and internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha.ResultsThe CBQ-NSCLBP-Tr demonstrated excellent reliability (ICC = 0.89) and strong internal consistency significant correlations with established measures, such as the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI, r = 0.44) and Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ, r = 0.48). According to these results, the CBQ-NSCLBP-Tr is a reliable instrument for evaluating cognitive-behavioral variables affecting chronic low back pain in Turkish-speaking individuals.ConclusionsThe CBQ-NSCLBP-Tr is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing cognitive-behavioral factors in Turkish-speaking CLBP populations. It captures critical psychological dimensions influencing pain perception and disability, complementing existing measures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty.
In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
