Abstrakt: Introduction: The Cochin 17-item Scleroderma Functional (CSF-17) Scale is a patient-reported outcome measure evaluating activities and participation in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).
Objective: The aim of the present study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the CSF-17 into the Turkish language and investigate its convergent validity and reliability in Turkish-speaking patients with SSc.
Methods: The CSF-17 was cross-culturally adapted according to Beaton's guideline. Participants completed CSF-17 Scale, Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ), Short Form-12 (SF-12) Health Survey and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were determined interpreting Cronbach's alpha and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) values, respectively. Convergent validity was tested using Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Results: Fifty-six patients with SSc were enrolled in the study. Cronbach's alpha and ICC values of the CSF-17 total score were found to be as 0.963 and 0.958, respectively, indicating excellent reliability. As for the convergent validity, it was determined that CSF-17 total score has a good correlation with SHAQ. Correlations of subscales of CSF-17 with subscales of SF-12 and HADS ranged from poor to moderate.
Conclusion: Turkish version of CSF-17 met the set criteria of reliability and convergent validity. According to the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the Turkish version of the CSF-17 is a reliable and valid tool for Turkish-speaking SSc patients.
