Abstract: Introduction: Interdisciplinary studies confirm that surgical fear experienced by patients can have a substantial effect on the outcome of the surgery and the healing process after surgery. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Surgical Fear Questionnaire in cancer patients. Method: 149 patients were assessed using the Spielberger Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Visual Analogue Scale and the Surgical Fear Questionnaire. Results: The scale showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach-alfa = 0.878; 0.885). The Surgical Fear Questionnaire scores moderately correlated with anxiety, depression and anticipated pain after surgery. Conclusion: The reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Surgical Fear Questionnaire in the sample were excellent. The questionnaire turned out to be a useful psychometric tool in the measurement of surgical fear. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(47): 1988–1993.

Objectives: Motor imagery (MI) is the visualization of action without its overt performance. One of the measures of explicit MI is mental chronometry which has been applied to multiple sclerosis (MS) patients; nonetheless, the reliability and validity of this tool has been never confirmed. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of mental chronometry in MS patients. Methods: A number of 60 MS patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the present study via the census method. Thereafter, 20 MS patients were tested via mental chronometry based on the box and block test, as well as kinesthetic and visual imagery questionnaire-20 (KVIQ-20) in two sessions with a 10-day interval. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated to determine the test-retest reliability of mental chronometry. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to evaluate criterion validity with the KVIQ-20. Results: The test-retest reliability for the mental chronometry was good (ICCs: visual analogue scale=0.88, mean execution and motor imagery absolute difference= 0.75, imagery duration=0.91, and execution duration=0.97). Moreover, the concurrent validity between the visual analogue scale of mental chronometry and KVIQ-20 was good. Conclusion: As evidenced by the results of the present study, the mental chronometry based on box and block is a reliable and valid tool for the assessment of motor imagery in MS patients.

Background/Aims Lower extremity functional scales in Turkish are limited in number and generalisability. The aims of this study were to translate the Lower Extremity Functional Scale into Turkish, and to investigate its reliability and validity in patients with different musculoskeletal conditions in their lower extremities. Methods The Turkish Lower Extremity Functional Scale, Visual Analogue Scale and Timed Up and Go test were administered in 256 outpatients with a re-test after 24–48 hours. Internal consistency, test–retest reliability, construct validity, factor structure and floor-ceiling effects were investigated. Findings The Scale has good reliability and validity. The Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.91 and intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.923. The standard error of measurement value was 4.015 and internal consistency coefficient was 0.92. Item-total correlation values were 0.46–0.74. It had a 3-factor structure, explaining 58.51% of the total variance and the eigenvalues were 1.04–8.26. It had no floor and ceiling effects, and was negatively correlated with the Visual Analogue Scale and Timed Up and Go test (P=0.000). Conclusions The Turkish Lower Extremity Functional Scale is a reliable and valid tool to be used in participants with lower extremity musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Evaluation of its responsiveness and minimal clinically important difference in future studies would have a great value.
