Description
Jialin Wang and colleagues published a questionnaire study in 2023 for Chinese-speaking patients with chronic muscle and joint pain. A short survey on mental health quality of life existed in other languages but not in Chinese. The team translated it following international guidance for adapting health surveys across cultures. They then gave the Chinese version to a group of pain patients, along with two established health surveys, and repeated the new survey a week later to check stability.
Scores on the Chinese version were highly stable over the week and consistent within the survey itself. Its results also lined up in expected ways with the older surveys, matching general and mental health scores more closely than physical scores. The authors conclude that the translated survey is sound for clinic use and research with Chinese-speaking patients who live with long-term musculoskeletal pain.
