Urdu Version Of Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire: Reliability And Validity Study

March 8, 2022 updated by: Riphah International University

A Reliability and Validity Study of Urdu Version Of Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire

The study aims to translate and adapt Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire cross-culturally into the Urdu language for the Pakistani population for investigating the reliability and validity of Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire in the Pakistani population and to study the correlation between Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and the Visual Analogue Scale.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The English version of the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire will be translated into Urdu and culturally adapted, as per a previous recommendation. The Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire will be given to one hundred and fifty workers of Masood Textile Mills, who would be chosen based on convenience sampling and inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inter-observer and intra-observer reliability of the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, and Visual Analog Scale will be evaluated in this study. On the same day, the questionnaire will be filled out created two times. An Inter - observer assessment will be done with 2 hour break between distributions of questionnaires. The initial observer then will gather a third assessment over one-week period (intra-observer assessment). For data entry and analysis, Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 24 will be utilized. Internal consistency will be checked using the Cronbach alpha value, and test retest reliability will be assessed using the Intraclass coefficient.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 1st day
The Visual Analogue Scale was created to represent the concept of a fundamental continuity. A Visual Analogue Scale is typically a straight stripe measuring 100 mm long, with word descriptions for each end. The patient draws a line through the spot on the line which they believe best describes their present state. The Visual Analogue Scale score is calculated by calculating in millimeters as from the line's left side to the point marked by that of the patient. It usually ranges from "0" indicating "no pain" to the "10" indicating "worst pain".
1st day
Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire
Time Frame: 1st day
This questionnaire is used to access discomfort caused by Musculoskeletal disorders. It has 3 scales, frequency, severity and interference scale. It has 3 versions on the basis of the nature of work place and activity level i.e. Sedentary workers, standing workers and hand discomfort. Sedentary workers don't include the "foot" domain while the standing worker has this domain. The hand discomfort version is used to access only hand problems. Its interpretation can be done by multiplying all the scale score.
1st day
Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire
Time Frame: 1st day
The Nordic Questionnaire is an internationally recognized tool for standardization research on Musculoskeletal symptom assessment. Its goal is to use an ergonomically approach to analyze Musculoskeletal problems. The very first component of this instrument includes questions on body parts that correlate to nine anatomical regions. The questions were structured in the following sequence: yearly and weekly prevalence; functional disability; and seeking medical treatment in the last year. This questionnaire can be used in an examination or by the individual who is now being assessed.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
