Abstract

Background and purpose: A third of Nigerians with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are physically inactive. Assessing barriers to physical activity (PA) using a culturally sensitive tool is essential for developing strategies to improve PA. Culturally adapted assessment of barriers to PA may contribute to individualised exercise prescription, behavioural interventions, and culturally responsive rehabilitation. The ease of scoring and fewer items than other tools make the Barriers to Being Active Quiz (BBAQ) preferable. This study translated and culturally adapted the BBAQ into Yoruba and validated it among Yoruba-speaking adults with T2DM.

Methods: The validation study involved translating, culturally adapting, and psychometrically evaluating the BBAQ into Yoruba. Participants completed the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) and the BBAQ-Y twice to assess construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.

Results: The mean age of the 189 participants was 62.06 ± 10.49 years, and the median (IQR) duration of diabetes was 84 (36-144) months. The structural validity of the BBAQ-Y was acceptable after three error modifications. Fit indices were acceptable (CFI = 0.90, TLI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.07). Convergent validity was partially supported, as a significant inverse correlation was found between the Yoruba IPAQ-SF and the BBAQ-Y (r = -0.216, p = 0.003). Discriminant validity was established, as individuals with low physical activity reported higher barriers than those with moderate or high physical activity (p = 0.001). Cronbach's alpha was excellent (α = 0.893), and test-retest reliability was moderate (ICC = 0.623), whereas the domain ICCs ranged from 0.295 to 0.533. The measurement error indicators of SEM and SDC were 9.01 and 24.97, respectively.

Discussion: The BBAQ-Y possesses adequate construct validity and internal consistency, with moderate test-retest reliability and more modest domain-level reliability and convergent validity, comparable to those of existing versions.

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
