Abstract

Introduction: Ventral hernias significantly impact patients' quality of life. It is essential to recognise this when creating a treatment plan and conducting studies that compare interventions. The Abdominal Hernia-Q is a meticulously validated questionnaire that focuses on patient-reported outcomes. However, at the time of this study, no Danish version was available. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a Danish translation of the Abdominal Hernia-Q.

Methods: The translation of the questionnaire followed a comprehensive process, including forward-backwards translation, expert committee review and pretesting to ensure face validity. We included ten patients for pretesting. The inclusion criteria were > 18 years of age and a history of ventral hernia repair. The exclusion criteria were the inability to speak or read Danish.

Results: A Danish version of the Abdominal Hernia-Q was successfully developed. This process revealed a few minor discrepancies between translators, which were resolved through discussion. Pretesting identified three issues: one unspecified and two minor cultural issues. All issues were addressed and corrected.

Conclusion: A validated Danish version of the Abdominal Hernia-Q is now available for use by clinicians and researchers, having undergone rigorous pretesting for face validity.

Funding: None.

Trial registration: This study was approved by the Danish Data Protection Agency (p-2023-15228).

丹麦对腹疝的验证- q。

腹疝显著影响患者的生活质量。在制定治疗计划和进行比较干预措施的研究时，认识到这一点至关重要。腹疝- q是一份精心验证的问卷，重点关注患者报告的结果。然而，在本研究进行时，没有丹麦文版。因此，本研究旨在开发腹疝- q的丹麦语翻译。方法：问卷的翻译采用前后翻译、专家委员会评审、前测等综合流程，确保问卷的面效度。我们纳入了10例患者进行预测。入选标准为18岁，18岁，有腹疝修补史。排除标准是不会说或读丹麦语。结果：丹麦版的腹疝- q成功研制。这一过程揭示了译者之间的一些小差异，并通过讨论加以解决。预测试确定了三个问题：一个未指定和两个次要的文化问题。所有问题都得到了解决和纠正。结论：经过严格的面部效度预测试，丹麦版的腹疝- q现已可供临床医生和研究人员使用。资金:没有。试验注册：该研究已获得丹麦数据保护局批准（p-2023-15228）。
