Abstract

PPPD is a chronic and functional disorder without diagnostic data and definitive laboratory tests. In such conditions, questionnaires are the easiest quantifiable measures to identify and rate the severity of individuals suffering from PPPD. The current study aimed to adapt the Niigata PPPD Questionnaire (NPQ) into Tamil language and analyze its psychometric properties. A conventional method of translation involving forward and backward translation was carried out, followed by subsequent content validation. The translated version was field tested in three groups, the controls, the dizzy group, and PPPD group, for further analysis. The final Tamil version of the questionnaire, NPQ-T, had good reliability and validity. This version was identified to have good sensitivity and specificity in discriminating the PPPD group from the dizzy group. The NPQ in Tamil (NPQ-T) is a valid tool for identifying individuals with PPPD and noting the severity of the exacerbating factors.

将新泻 PPPD 问卷翻译成泰米尔语并进行验证：一种评估持续性姿势感知性头晕的工具。

PPPD 是一种没有诊断数据和明确实验室检测的慢性功能性疾病。在这种情况下，调查问卷是最容易量化的措施，可用于识别和评定 PPPD 患者的严重程度。本研究旨在将新泻 PPPD 问卷（NPQ）改编成泰米尔语，并分析其心理计量特性。研究采用了传统的翻译方法，包括正向翻译和反向翻译，随后进行了内容验证。翻译后的版本在对照组、眩晕组和 PPPD 组三个组别中进行了实地测试，以便进一步分析。最终的泰米尔语版 NPQ-T 问卷具有良好的信度和效度。该版本在区分 PPPD 组和头晕组方面具有良好的灵敏度和特异性。泰米尔语 NPQ（NPQ-T）是一种有效的工具，可用于识别患有 PPPD 的患者，并记录加重因素的严重程度。
