Translation and Test–Retest of the Spanish Podiatry Health Questionnaire (PHQ-S)

2018

Background: The Podiatric Health Questionnaire (PHQ) is a health-related questionnaire consisting of six questions designed for measuring foot health status. To date, the PHQ has only been validated in the English-language version. Thus, this study aimed to perform the Spanish translation and test&ndash:retest procedures of the PHQ (PHQ-S). Method: The forward/backward translation and test&ndash:retest reliability methods were applied from English to Spanish languages. Regarding the total score for each domain, internal consistency and reliability were determined by the Cronbach &alpha: and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. Results: High internal consistency was shown for the six domains: (1) walking with a Cronbach &alpha: of 0.97: (2) hygiene and nail care with 0.93 and 093, respectively: (3) foot pain with 0.91: (4) worry and concern domain with 0.904: (5) quality of life with 0.87: and (6) the self-perception of how their feet are feeling measured by a visual analogic scale with 0.92. Excellent test&ndash:retest reliability (ICC = 0.99 (95% CI = 0.96&ndash:0.98)) was shown for the total score. Conclusions: The PHQ-S was shown to be a valid and reliable tool for an acceptable use in the Spanish population.
