Translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Integrated Palliative Outcome Scale-renal (IPOS-r) to Czech.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with advanced kidney disease suffer from burdensome symptoms, which should be assessed by valid and reliable patient-reported outcome measures. This study aimed to provide a translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Czech version of the IPOS-r.

Methods

The IPOS-r was translated to Czech and culturally adapted using cognitive interviews. During the validation phase, patients and staff in dialysis centres and outpatient renal clinics completed the IPOS-r. Internal consistency was tested with Cronbach's alpha, its reliability via intraclass correlation coefficient for total IPOS-r score, and weighted Kappa (for test-retest and interrater reliability of individual items). Convergent validity was tested with Spearman correlation to Kidney Disease
