Turkish Validation of the 9-Item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia

2026년 6월 23일 업데이트: Hatice Gül, Akdeniz University

Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of the 9-Item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia in Individuals With Chronic Spinal Pain

This observational methodological study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the 9-item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-9) in individuals with chronic spinal pain. Chronic spinal pain is commonly associated with fear of movement, avoidance behavior, pain catastrophizing, and disability. Therefore, a short and practical Turkish measurement tool may be useful for both clinical assessment and research.

Participants with chronic neck or low back pain will complete self-report questionnaires, including the Turkish TSK-9, the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the Fear-Avoidance Components Scale, and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale. The Turkish TSK-9 will be administered again 7 days after the first assessment in a subgroup of participants to evaluate test-retest reliability.

No intervention, invasive procedure, clinical test, or laboratory test will be performed. Data will be collected online using Google Forms.

상세 설명

This study is an observational methodological validation study designed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the 9-item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-9) in individuals with chronic spinal pain.

The original Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia is a widely used measure for evaluating fear of movement and reinjury in people with pain. However, shorter versions of the scale have been proposed in the literature, and the 9-item version includes two domains: activity avoidance and somatic focus. The purpose of this study is to translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish TSK-9 in individuals with chronic neck or low back pain.

The study will be conducted online. Participants will be recruited through social media announcements and will complete the study questionnaires using Google Forms. Eligible participants will be adults aged 18 to 50 years who report chronic spinal pain lasting longer than 3 months and a self-reported pain intensity of at least 3 points on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale.

The first assessment will include sociodemographic and clinical questions, the Turkish TSK-9, the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the Fear-Avoidance Components Scale, and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Pain intensity will be assessed both at rest and during activity. To evaluate test-retest reliability, the Turkish TSK-9 will be administered again 7 days after the first assessment in participants who agree to complete the second evaluation.

The study will include at least 90 participants. This sample size was determined according to the commonly used participant-to-item ratio of 10 participants per item for questionnaire validation studies. Since the TSK-9 includes 9 items, a minimum of 90 participants is planned.

Reliability will be examined using internal consistency and test-retest reliability analyses. Internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Test-retest reliability will be evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient, 95% confidence interval, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change. Construct validity will be examined by analyzing the correlations between the Turkish TSK-9 and measures of fear-avoidance beliefs, pain catastrophizing, fear-avoidance components, and pain intensity.

No treatment, intervention, invasive procedure, clinical test, or laboratory test will be applied in this study. Participation is voluntary, and the study is not expected to involve any physical risk or harm to participants.

Turkish version 9-item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia
기간: Baseline and 7 days
The Turkish 9-item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-9) is a self-report questionnaire used to assess fear of movement and reinjury in individuals with pain. The scale consists of 9 items and two domains: activity avoidance and somatic focus. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The activity avoidance domain includes 5 items and ranges from 5 to 20 points. The somatic focus domain includes 4 items and ranges from 4 to 16 points. Higher scores indicate greater kinesiophobia.

측정값 설명
기간
Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire
기간: Baseline
The Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire is a self-report questionnaire used to assess fear-avoidance beliefs related to physical activity and work. It includes 16 items and two subscales: a physical activity subscale and a work subscale. Each item is scored on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (completely disagree) to 6 (completely agree). Higher scores indicate greater fear-avoidance beliefs.
Baseline
Pain Catastrophizing Scale
기간: Baseline
The Pain Catastrophizing Scale is a self-report questionnaire used to assess catastrophic thoughts and feelings related to pain. It consists of 13 items and includes three subscales. Each item is scored on a 5-point scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater pain catastrophizing.
Baseline
Fear-Avoidance Components Scale
기간: Baseline
The Fear-Avoidance Components Scale is a self-report questionnaire used to assess cognitive, behavioral, and emotional components of fear avoidance in individuals with painful medical conditions. It consists of 20 items scored from 0 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). The total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater fear avoidance.
Baseline
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
기간: Baseline
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is used to assess self-reported pain intensity. Participants rate their pain intensity on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Pain intensity will be assessed at rest and during activity. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
