Validity and reliability of the Arabic community integration questionnaire in a Lebanese sample of adults with physical disability.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Community integration is a critical factor influencing the quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities. However, there is a lack of culturally adapted tools to assess community integration in Arabic-speaking populations. This study aimed to translate, validate, and examine the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Community Integration Questionnaire (AR-CIQ) among Lebanese adults with physical disabilities.

Methods

A total of 150 individuals with various physical disabilities participated in the study. The AR-CIQ was translated and adapted to the Lebanese cultural context. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted to determine the factor structure, while reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficients. Correlations
