Validity and reliability of Gujarati version of Physical Activity and Disability Survey
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: According to WHO, it has been shown that only 38% of adults with a disability meet the international recommendations for Physical activity (PA) compared to 49% in those without disability. As the aging process itself is associated with a decline in overall functioning, this increases the risk of lower rates of PA in later life. Knowledge on PA is scarce in India due to various reasons, one of which being lack of valid and reliable tool of assessment. Physical activity and disability survey (PADS) is an internationally accepted tool for measuring PA in subjects with chronic disabilities. However, for an accurate measurement, its local linguistic versions are highly recommended. Gujarati translated version of PADS is unavailable at the moment and hence the study was undertaken. Methods: Institutional Ethics Approval was obtained from IEC. Translation and cross cultural adaptation of PADS was done in Gujarati language as per WHO guidelines.8 subject experts reviewed the translated version for content and face validity. Mutual consensus was determined at 80% agreement among them. Statistical analysis: ICC and Cronbach’s alpha of the translated version was also determined in subjects with neurological conditions. Results: Gujarati version of PADS was found to be valid. The ICC value for test-retest reliability was found to be (0.71–0.79) 0.75, with values varying between 0.65 and 0.75 for subscales. Conclusion: Gujarati version of PADS is a valid and reliable tool and can be used across neurological conditions to determine their level of PA.
