STUDY DESIGN: Methodological study design: translation and test-retest reliability testing.

OBJECTIVES: To translate International Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Basic Data Set (ISCIQoLBDS) Version 1.0 into Hindi language and conduct reliability testing of Hindi ISCIQoLBDS (hISCIQoLBDS).

SETTING: The study was conducted at Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, New Delhi, India.

METHODS: The study was done in two phases-translation of ISCIQoLBDS Version 1.0 into Hindi language and reliability testing of hISCIQoLBDS. In the translation phase, the data set was forward translated by two independent professional translators. Then backward translation was done by another pair of professional translators to ensure the essence of the data set. For their feedback, field testing of hISCIQoLBDS was done on ten individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). After this, an expert panel reviewed their recommendations, and the final hISCIQoLBDS was administered on 50 participants with SCI for test-retest reliability of the data set.

RESULTS: hISCIQoLBDS was found to be equivalent to ISCIQoLBDS Version 1.0 on back-translation. It showed high test-retest reliability for each item in the data set. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (95% CI) for items of hISCIQoLBDS was within the range of (0.91-0.98).

CONCLUSION: The hISCIQoLBDS is a stepwise systematic Hindi translation of the ISCIQoLBDS Version 1.0 for the Hindi literate population with high test-retest reliability. It can facilitate international data exchange on the quality of life (QoL) of Hindi literate individuals with SCI.
