Costa Catherine Duggan Ian Bates Medicina Cross Anxiety Perception Information cultural adaptation Background: Involving patients in health care isincreasingly acknowledged as the best way toempower patients to manage their illness. Whilst theinvolvement of patients is laudable and widelyrecognised, how much they want to be involvedneeds to be ascertained. Research has shown thatinappropriate provision of information to patientscan increase their anxieties towards illness and alterperceptions of medicines usefulness, consequentlyimpacting on medicines taking behaviour. Toolshave been validated in the UK to identify informationdesires, perceived usefulness of medicines andanxiety felt about illness. There is a need to adaptvalidated tools for use in other settings andcountries. This paper is the first of a seriesdescribing the processes involved in the adaptationand validation of these.Aim: to review and adapt the processes establishedto translate and back translate scales and tools inpractice.Methods: The survey tool was translated and backtranslatedaccording to published guidelines,subsequently tested in a sample of medical patientsand further refined by seeking health careprofessionals perceptions and input from laypeople.Results: Data demonstrates the importance ofincluding various perspectives in this process,through which sequential modifications were madeto the original scales. Issues relating to religiousbeliefs, educational and health literacy differencesbetween countries highlight the relevance of takingcultural values into account.
