Overview

Cross cultural analytical study to translate Parkinson's disease questionnaire-8 in Urdu language. Along with the translated version by evaluating its validity and reliability among the patients of Parkinson's disease. No such study has been previously conducted in Pakistan which translate this questionnaire in Urdu and follows the proper cross- culture adaptation. Condition or disease: Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8 (PDQ-8) is the brief version of PDQ-39 formulated to reduce the respondent burden and for convenient use in clinical settings in patients of Parkinson's disease. (PDQ-8) is the patient reported outcome measure constructed by taking one question from each of the eight domains of PDQ-39 (mobility, activities of daily living, emotional well-being, stigma, social support, cognition, communication, and bodily discomfort. PDQ-8 will be translated into Urdu language by Beaton et al guidelines for cross cultural adaptation of tool. The validity and reliability of Urdu version of PDQ-8 will be evaluated by calculating Cronbach's alpha, intra-class correlation coefficient and Pearson/spearman rank correlation co-efficient. Continuous variables will be shown by mean and standard deviation and the categories will be demonstrated in frequency and percentage. Factor structure of the PDQ-8 will be extracted using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), utilizing principal component analysis with varimax rotation.

Time frame: 8 months

Secondary Outcomes

Reliability of translated versions of PDQ-8

To determine the reliability of cross-culturally adapted and translated PDQ-8 in the patients with Parkinson's disease. Reliability or reproducibility refers to the ability of a measure to produce the same results when administered at two intervals between different visits of the patient. Thus, the reliability of tool will be assessed by internal consistency and test-retest reliability

Time frame: 8 months

Validity of translated versions of PDQ-8

To determine the validity of cross-culturally adapted and translated PDQ-8 in the patients with Parkinson's disease. Validity is how accurate the results are.

Time frame: 8 months
