METHODS Sixty young to middle-aged and physically active patients (34 women and 26 men; mean age=35 years; age range: 18-40 years) with hip pain were included in the study. The original version of the NAHS was first translated into Turkish and back-translated into English by two bilingual translators each. The back-translated version was compared with the initial English version by a committee of the four translators. The Turkish version was then tested with 15 patients with hip pain and 15 healthy individuals. The participants were asked whether they had difficulties in understanding the questions. Subsequently, the questionnaire was accepted for use in the study population. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency were assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha, respectively. The construct validity was determined via the Pearson correlation coefficient between the NAHS and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and Short Form-12 (SF-12). Floor and ceiling effects were analyzed. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to test construct validity. RESULTS An ICC of 0.994 and Cronbach's alpha value of 0.908 were obtained; thus, the Turkish version of the NAHS was reliable. Neither floor nor ceiling effects (15%) were found in the sub-parameters (8.3-1.7%) and the total score (1.7%) of the NAHS. The EFA test showed that this questionnaire had four factors. Model fit indices in CFA were χ2/df=2.23, Tucker-Lewis index=0.90, comparative fit index=0.91, goodness of fit index=0.63, root mean square error of approximation=0.14 (90% CI: 0.12-0.16). The NAHS total score showed an excellent correlation with WOMAC (r=-0.909), mHHS (r=0.850), and SF-12 (r=0.811) scores. CONCLUSION The Turkish version of the NAHS is a valid and reliable questionnaire for young and physically active patients with hip pain. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, Diagnostic study.

Kalça patolojileri için farklı anketler vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33)’un Türkçe versiyonuna uyarlama, geçerlik ve güvenirliğini araştırmaktır. iHOT-33’ün Türkçe’ye çevirisi ve kültürel uygunluğu mevcut yönergeler izlenerek yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmaya düşük yaş ortalamasına ve yüksek fiziksel kapasiteye sahip 50 hasta katıldı. Ölçeğin güvenirliğini değerlendirmek için test-tekrar test ve iç tutarlık analizleri uygulandı. Test tekrar test analizi, sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı (ICC) yöntemi ile analiz edildi. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Short Form 36 (SF-36) anketlerinin toplam puanları, iHOT-33’ün geçerliğini belirlemek için Pearson korelasyonu ile değerlendirildi. iHOT-33’ün yüksek düzeyde iç tutarlılığa sahip olduğu bulundu (Cronbach alfa 0.908).

However, the data about effects of polypharmacy on balance is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the effects of polypharmacy and inappropriate drug use on balance in older adults. Patients and Methods: Fifty-one patients using ≥ 5 drugs and 50 patients using < 5 drugs were included in the study. Inappropriate drug usage of the patients was evaluated by Beers criteria. Postural stability and risk of falling was investigated by using Biosway Portable Balance System (BPBS). Activities and functional status of the patients were assessed by using Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC). All patients underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment. Results: Age, gender, hand grip strength, SPPB scores of the patients were similar between polypharmacy and control groups (all had p>0.05). ABC score was higher in polypha...

Yontem: Bu calismaya 81 erkek milli guresci dahil edildi. (Grekoromen n=46, Serbest stil n=35). Gurescilerin yaslari 17-20 yillari arasinda, vucut kutle indeksleri (VKI) 21-36 kg/m 2 arasindaydi (Grekoromen ortalama yas:18±1.1 yil, VKI:26±3.68 kg/m 2 ; serbest stil ortalama yas:18±0.8 yil, VKI:26.27±4.48 kg/m 2 ). Gurescilerin antropometrik ozelliklerindeki farkliliklar; vucut agirligi, boy uzunlugu, diz ve dirsek genisligi kaliper ile, baldir ve biseps cevre olcumu mezura ile, triseps, subskapular, supraspinal ve baldir deri alti yag kalinligi olcumu skinfold ile degerlendirildi. Yag yuzdesi Sloan ve Weir formulu ile hesaplandi. Somatotiplerin belirlenmesi icin Heath-Carter antropometrik metodu kullanildi.

The objective of this study was to investigate adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) in Turkish population with chronic musculoskeletal pain. METHODS The Turkish version of the questionnaire (CSQ-T) was checked in terms of reliability and validity with a convenience sample of 123 patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Reliability (test-retest) analyses were conducted by means of a retest 48 hours later with a sub-group of 40 patients. Construct validity of the CSQ was checked through convergent validity with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey. RESULTS Cronbach's alpha of the subscales ranged from 0.814 to 0.934 and the test-retest reliability ranged from 0.800 to 0.944. Neither floor nor ceiling effects (15%) were found in the subscales (13.8%) and the total score (4.1%) of the CSQ-T. Factor analysis indicated that the scale had two factors. The total CSQ-T score was correlated with both the HADS (r: -0.636/-0.549) and the SF-36 (r: 0.701/0.768). CONCLUSION The CSQ-T is a reliable and valid measure for assessing patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
