Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of Brighton Musculoskeletal Patient-Reported Outcome Measure
Abstract
Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish cross-cultural adaptation of the Brighton Musculoskeletal Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (BmPROM).
Methods: The BmPROM was translated into Turkish (BmPROM-TR) in accordance with standardized guidelines. A total of 25 patients and 20 physiotherapists participated in the assessment of the BmPROM-TR’s comprehensibility and content validity. To assess reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for internal consistency and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used for test-retest reliability. Validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis with the subscales of the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36).
Results: A total of 122 individuals with musculoskeletal problems participated in the study. Cronbach’s alpha values for the functionality and well-being subscales scores were 0.721 and 0.766, respectively. The scale’s functionality (ICC= 0.866) and well-being (ICC= 0.844) scores demonstrated good test-retest reliability. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin was 0.753 and Bartlett’s sphericity test was significant (X2= 247.635, p<0.001). The BmPROM-TR was explained by bifactorial structures and 57.7% of the variation. Low to moderate positive correlations were found between the subdimensions of the SF-36 and the functionality and well-being scores (p<0.001).
Conclusion: BmPROM-TR is a reliable and valid patient reported outcome measure for assessing physical function and psychosocial factors in individuals with musculoskeletal problems.
