Abstract

Background

The STarT back screening tool helps primary care workers make the initial clinical decision and classify low back pain subjects into subgroups. Currently, the tool is required for stratification/triaging of low back pain and is commonly used in clinical practice, and requires linguistic validation in Tamil. The study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Tamil version of the STarT back screening tool.

Methods

The baseline measurements include the Tamil version of the STarT back screening tool-, pain severity using the Numeric pain rating Scale (NPRS), disability status using the Tamil version of the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and fear avoidance beliefs using the fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) - Tamil were obtained. After five days, the retest measures are done to investigate the test-retest reliability.

Results

The current study showed excellent test-retest reliability of total score (ICC – 0.80) and psychosocial subscore (ICC-0.82) with excellent internal consistency and moderate to high validity with clinical outcomes.

Conclusion

The study concludes that the Tamil version of the STarT Back Screening Questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool that reported good understanding and easy completion by the subject.

对泰米尔语版 STarT 背痛筛查工具进行跨文化适应性、可靠性、有效性和心理测量学评估。

背景：STarT 背痛筛查工具可帮助初级保健工作者做出初步临床决定，并将腰背痛患者分为不同的亚组。目前，该工具是对腰背痛进行分层/三组划分的必备工具，在临床实践中被普遍使用，需要在泰米尔语中进行语言验证。本研究旨在确定泰米尔语版 STarT 背痛筛查工具的有效性和可靠性：基线测量包括泰米尔语版 STarT 背痛筛查工具、数字疼痛评分量表（NPRS）显示的疼痛严重程度、泰米尔语版罗兰-莫里斯残疾问卷（RMDQ）显示的残疾状况，以及泰米尔语版恐惧-回避信念问卷（FABQ）显示的恐惧-回避信念。五天后进行重测，以调查重测信度：结果：目前的研究显示，总分（ICC - 0.80）和心理社会子分数（ICC-0.82）的重测可靠性极佳，具有极好的内部一致性，与临床结果的效度为中高：研究得出结论，泰米尔语版 STarT 背部筛查问卷是一种可靠有效的工具，受试者能够很好地理解并轻松完成问卷。
