Hammond, Alison Prior, Yeliz Linguistic validation and cultural adaptation of an English version of the Evaluation of Daily Activity Questionnaire in rheumatoid arthritis <p>Abstract</p><p>Background: To linguistically validate and culturally adapt the Evaluation of Daily Activity Questionnaire (EDAQ) for</p><p>use in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from Swedish to British English. The EDAQ is a patient reported outcome measure</p><p>of daily activity ability. It includes 11 activity domains (Eating and Drinking; Personal Care; Dressing; Bathing;</p><p>Cooking; Moving Indoors; House Cleaning; Laundry; Moving and Transfers; Communication; Moving Outdoors) and</p><p>was developed for use in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).</p><p>Methods: The EDAQ was translated from Swedish to English using standard methods. Activity diaries, cognitive</p><p>debriefing interviews and focus groups were completed with people with RA to: generate new culturally applicable</p><p>items; identify important items in the Swedish version to retain in the English version; and develop the English</p><p>EDAQ based on their views of content and layout. Content validity was established by linking the EDAQ to the</p><p>International Classification of Functioning RA Core Set.</p><p>Results: The English EDAQ translation was harmonized with the Swedish version to ensure equivalence of</p><p>meaning. Sixty-one people with RA participated. 156 activities were identified from 31 activity diaries and included</p><p>in a draft English EDAQ. Following interviews (n = 20) and four focus groups, 138 activities were retained and three</p><p>additional domains added (Gardening/Household Maintenance; Caring; and Leisure/Social Activities). Most ICF RA</p><p>Core Set activities are in the EDAQ.</p><p>Conclusions: The English EDAQ is a detailed self-report measure of ability in RA with good content validity.</p> Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs);Rheumatoid arthritis;Daily activities;Occupational Therapy;Rheumatology and Arthritis 2020-06-25
