Design Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and pilot testing (cognitive debriefing) Location Primary and Hospital care. Participants Ten patients admitted to a cardiology department of a University Hospital Main measurements 1) Direct translation, 2) conciliation and synthesis of the versions by expert panel, 3) back- translation, 4) agreement on the back-translated version with the author of the original version, 5) analysis of comprehensibility through cognitive interviews. Results There were no differences between the direct-translated versions. The expert panel introduced changes in 23 out of the 47 items of the questionnaire. The author of the original version agreed with the version of the back-translation. In the cognitive interviews, patients reported high difficulty in one item and low difficulty in 4.
