Abstract INTRODUCTION: Low Back Pain (LBP) is among the most commonly reported symptoms in primary care facilities across the globe. A significant concern in the management of LBP is the progression from acute pain to chronic disability.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, from 2023 to 2024, with permission obtained via email to translate the OMPQ scale into Gujarati, following Beaton Guidelines. Participants aged 18 to 66, both male and female, who understood Gujarati and had acute or sub-acute back pain (lasting less than three months), were included. A total of 300 participants were selected to assess test-retest reliability based on the 25 items of the OMPQ.
RESULT: The Internal Consistency was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha (α= 0.99) and high Correlation Coefficient (ICC= 0.98) the OMPQ-G showed excellent test-retest reliability. CVR values for 14 items in OMPQ-G was 1 so it was accepted by all the expert committee members (n=10) except for 11 items which was 0.8 means it is accepted with modification by 1 expert.
DISCUSSION:
CONCLUSION: The OMPQ-G scale is a brief, easy-to use, reliable and valid scale for assessing psychosocial factor in Gujarati population with low back pain.
