Abstrakt: Background: Illness perception may influence the coping behaviors of patients. There is a lack of tools to measure this construct among Yoruba speakers. Therefore, we translate, cross-culturally adapt and determine the reliability and the validity of the Yoruba version of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ-Y). Methods: The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process was according to Beaton criteria. The psychometric testing of the BIPQ-Y was carried out among 28 consenting patients with low back pain attending a university teaching hospital, while only 10 of them participated in the reliability test. The convergent and discriminant validity of the BIPQ-Y was carried out using the Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire and Quadruple Visual Analogue scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was to assess construct validity. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 47 ± 15.3 years. The concurrent validity of the BIPQ-Y was excellent (r = 0.996) for the total score of BIPQ-Y while the internal consistency was moderate (α = 0.52). The test–retest of BIPQ-Y yielded excellent results with item intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) ranging between 0.833 and 0.973 and an overall ICC of 0.889. For the confirmatory analysis of the BIPQ-Y, the factor loading for the eight items ranged from − 0.071 to 0.799 and the composite reliability was good with a score of 0.68. Conclusion: The BIPQ-Y demonstrated excellent psychometric properties that are satisfactory with standards, and it is recommended for assessing illness perceptions of patients with chronic low back pain among the Yoruba-speaking populations.
