Turkish Validation of the 9-Item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia

NCT07673159 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 90

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This observational methodological study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the 9-item Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-9) in individuals with chronic spinal pain. Chronic spinal pain is commonly associated with fear of movement, avoidance behavior, pain catastrophizing, and disability. Therefore, a short and practical Turkish measurement tool may be useful for both clinical assessment and research.

Participants with chronic neck or low back pain will complete self-report questionnaires, including the Turkish TSK-9, the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the Fear-Avoidance Components Scale, and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale. The Turkish TSK-9 will be administered again 7 days after the first assessment in a subgroup of participants to evaluate test-retest reliability.

No intervention, invasive procedure, clinical test, or laboratory test will be performed. Data will be collected online using Google Forms.
