Abstract

Background: The Neurological Fatigue Index (NFI) is the instrument used to evaluate stroke patients' fatigue. There was no Urdu version of NFI available officially.

Objective: This study aimed to translate the Neurological Fatigue Index into Urdu and to determine the validity and reliability of Urdu NFI among stroke patients.

Methodology: It is a cross-cultural validation study. According to international guidelines in phase I, a process of translation was carried out. In phase II, using the sample of 120 participants, validity and reliability of the Urdu version of the Neurological Fatigue Index scale was conducted. The Urdu version's content validity, convergent/concurrent validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency were determined. The latest version of SPSS was used for the data analysis.

Results: The Urdu version of NFI was drafted after the expert's review. The content validity index was used to analyze the content validity. The reliability and validity of the Urdu version NFI were evaluated by calculating Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.86), and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC = 0.823). Correlations with other scales were the fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) (r = 0.76), Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS) (r = 0.68), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (r = 0.53) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) (r = 0.47).

Conclusion: The Urdu Version was linguistically acceptable for the fatigue assessment in post-stroke patients. It showed good content validity, convergent/concurrent validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.

中风后神经疲劳指数的乌尔都语翻译和跨文化验证。

背景：神经疲劳指数（NFI）是用于评估中风患者疲劳程度的工具。目前还没有乌尔都语版的 NFI 正式版本：本研究旨在将神经疲劳指数翻译成乌尔都语，并确定乌尔都语 NFI 在中风患者中的有效性和可靠性：这是一项跨文化验证研究。在第一阶段，根据国际指南进行了翻译。在第二阶段，以 120 名参与者为样本，对乌尔都语版神经疲劳指数量表进行了效度和信度分析。确定了乌尔都语版量表的内容效度、收敛/并发效度、重测信度和内部一致性。数据分析使用了最新版本的 SPSS：乌尔都语版 NFI 是在专家评审后起草的。内容效度指数用于分析内容效度。通过计算 Cronbach's alpha（α = 0.86）和类内相关系数（ICC = 0.823），评估了乌尔都语版 NFI 的信度和效度。与其他量表的相关性为疲劳严重程度量表（FSS）（r = 0.76）、精神疲劳量表（MFS）（r = 0.68）、贝克抑郁量表（BDI）（r = 0.53）和埃普沃斯嗜睡量表（ESS）（r = 0.47）：结论：乌尔都语版可用于脑卒中后患者的疲劳评估。结论：乌尔都语版对脑卒中后患者的疲劳评估在语言上是可接受的，它显示了良好的内容效度、收敛/并发效度、内部一致性和测试-再测试可靠性。
