Publication Metadata only Cross-cultural translation, validity, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire(ELSEVIER, 2022) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Tay, Hilal Ata; Ozgul, Bahar; Darlow, Ben; Sari, ZubeyirBackground: As the Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire (Back-PAQ), a validated instrument, could be performed to evaluate biopsychosocial dimensions of back pain, it has not been translated and adapted for Turkish population. Objectives: It was aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Back-PAQ (versions of 34-item, 20-item, and 10-item) into Turkish language and analyse the validity and reliability of the Back-PAQ-Turkish version (Back-PAQ-Tr). Study design: Study of diagnostic accuracy/assessment scale. Methods: The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process were carried out in several steps according to international best-practice guidelines. 173 participants with back pain were recruited. Turkish version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-Tr) and Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ-Tr) were used to investigate the convergent validity. Results: Internal consistency of the Back-PAQ-Tr, Back-PAQ-Tr-20, and Back-PAQ-Tr-10 were 0.82, 0.78 and 0.68, respectively. Test-retest reliability was excellent for Back-PAQ-Tr (ICC = 0.95) and Back-PAQ-Tr-20 (ICC = 0.95), but weak for Back-PAQ-Tr-10 (ICC = 0.50). A weak correlation was found between all versions of Back-PAQ-Tr and TSK-Tr & FABQ-Tr, except for the moderate correlation between Back-PAQ-Tr-10 and TSK-Tr (r = -0.51) & the physical activity score of FABQ-Tr (r = -0.51). Back-PAQ-Tr, Back-PAQ-Tr-20, and Back-PAQ-Tr-10 accounted for 66.2%, 60.5%, and 78.2% of the variance in the data set, respectively. Conclusion: The versions of 34-item and 20-item Back-PAQ-Tr are reliable and valid questionnaire to assess Turkish populations' attitudes and beliefs regarding back pain. Since the reliability of the 10-item version was determined to be quite low, we particularly recommend the use of the versions of Back-PAQ-Tr and Back-PAQ-Tr-20.Publication Metadata only The application of matrix rhythm therapy as a new clinical modality in burn physiotherapy programmes(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2014) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Sari, Zubeyir; Polat, Mine Gulden; Ozgul, Bahar; Aydogdu, Onur; Camcioglu, Burcu; Acar, Ahmet Hakan; Yurdalan, Saadet UfukPurpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of matrix rhythm therapy (MRT) as one of the electrotherapeutic modalities in clinics. Methods: This study was carried out in the Burn and Wound Treatment Department of Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Education and Research Hospital in Istanbul between October 2010 and August 2011. A treatment protocol including whirlpool, MRT and exercise was applied to a group of patients who had burn injury of upper extremity. The evaluation of each patient included assessment of pain, range of motion, muscle strength, skin flexibility and sensory function at pre- and post-treatment. Results: There was no significant difference in values of pain, muscle strength and flexibility between pre- and post-treatment assessments (p > 0.05). A significant increase was found in the range of motion and sensory function at pre-treatment according to post-treatment (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The usage of MRT in order to maintain and improve the range of motion and to minimise the development of scar tissue was investigated in this study. We suggest conducting randomised controlled studies that carry out a comparison of the MRT with other treatment modalities with more cases and investigate the long-term effects of MRT.
