The Turkish Version of the Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire

Cross-cultural Adaptation, Reliability, and Validity of the Turkish Version of Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire

The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ) is originally developed in Spanish to evaluate self-perceived barriers for physical activity participation in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SBPAQ into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties.

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Quality of Life; Health Behavior; Physical Inactivity

Detailed Description

The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ) is originally developed in Spanish to evaluate self-perceived barriers for physical activity participation in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SBPAQ into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. Approximately two hundred healthy individuals aged between 18-65 years will be included. For cross-cultural adaptation, two bi-lingual translators will use the back-translation procedure. After the questionnaire will be translated into Turkish, the reliability, validity, and internal consistency of the Turkish version of SBPAQ (SBPAQ-T) will be tested. The questionnaire will be applied twice within 7 days to evaluate the test-retest reliability and to calculate the "Intraclass Correlation Coefficient" (ICC). Pearson correlation coefficient will be used to analyze construct and convergent/divergent validity. The construct validity of SBPAQ-T will be analyzed based on its correlation with the Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, and Short Form-12. The Cronbach's Alpha will be calculated to determine internal consistency. The level of significance is considered as 0.05. The floor and ceiling effects will be detected.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ)	The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ) is composed of 17 items and 4 subscales: 1) Body image &psychosocial anxiety (5-item); 2) Fatigue & laziness (3-item); 3) Obligations & lack of time (3-item); and 4) Environment & facilities (4-item). The SBPAQ is a comprehensive and valid scoring system to evaluate perceived barriers to physical activity participation in healthy individuals.	Baseline (First assessment)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ)	The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ) is composed of 17 items and 4 subscales: 1) Body image &psychosocial anxiety (5-item); 2) Fatigue & laziness (3-item); 3) Obligations & lack of time (3-item); and 4) Environment & facilities (4-item). The SBPAQ is a comprehensive and valid scoring system to evaluate perceived barriers to physical activity participation in healthy individuals.	Within a 7-day period after the first assessment (Second assessment)
International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF)	International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF) is composed of 7 items to assess the types of intensity of physical activity and sitting time that people do as part of their daily lives are considered to estimate total physical activity in metabolic equivalent (MET)-min/week and time spent sitting in youth 15 years of age and older.	Baseline (First assessment)
Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire (PABQ)	Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire (PABQ) is composed of 24 items and 3 subscales: 1) Personal Barriers (14-item); 2) Social Barriers (3-item); 3) Environmental Barriers (6-item). The PABQ is a comprehensive and valid scoring system to evaluate perceived barriers to physical activity participation in healthy individuals.	Baseline (First assessment)
Short Form-12 (SF-12)	Short Form-12 (SF-12), which is developed based on Short Form-36, consists of 12 items: 7 items dealing with the physical components scores (PCS-12) and 5 items related to the mental components scores (MCS-12) of SF-12. Range of both scores is 0 to 100, where the higher scores indicate better health related quality of life.	Baseline (First assessment)
