Abstract

Background and objectives: Language-appropriate outcome measurements help to improve health equity. The purpose of this study was to translate and validate the Cohen-Hoberman Inventory of Physical Symptoms (CHIPS) in Nepali for Bhutanese refugee utilization.

Methods: English-Nepali forward and back translations of CHIPS were completed by an official translator and evaluated by three content experts. A scaled rubric measured the following constructs: neurogenic stress response (NSR), somatic stress response (SSR), and visceral stress response (VSR). Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0.

Results: The Nepali version of CHIPS reported good content validity, strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .94), and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.91). Kappa statistic reported 88% to 96% agreement. Constructs of NSR (0.91), SSR (0.94), and VSR (0.94) reported strong internal consistency.

Conclusions: The Nepali translated version of CHIPS showed strong validity and reliability for utilization in the Bhutanese refugee population and improves health access to outcome measurements for a vulnerable population.

不丹难民使用科恩-霍伯曼身体症状量表的尼泊尔语翻译、有效性和可靠性研究。

背景和目标：适合语言的结果测量有助于提高健康公平性。本研究的目的是翻译和验证尼泊尔语的科恩-霍伯曼身体症状量表（CHIPS），供不丹难民使用：一名官方翻译完成了CHIPS的英语-尼泊尔语正向和反向翻译，并由三名内容专家进行了评估。采用评分标准测量以下结构：神经源应激反应（NSR）、躯体应激反应（SSR）和内脏应激反应（VSR）。数据使用 SPSS 26.0 进行分析：尼泊尔版 CHIPS 具有良好的内容效度、较强的内部一致性（Cronbach's α = .94）和评分者间可靠性（ICC = 0.91）。Kappa 统计表明，一致性在 88% 到 96% 之间。NSR（0.91）、SSR（0.94）和VSR（0.94）的结构具有很强的内部一致性：CHIPS的尼泊尔语翻译版本在不丹难民人群中的使用显示出很强的有效性和可靠性，并改善了弱势人群获得健康结果测量的途径。
