Description
Leticia Amaral Corrêa and co-authors publish a 2026 translation study of a back pain knowledge questionnaire for Brazil. Low back pain is the country leading cause of disability, yet tools measuring what patients believe about it lag behind current guidelines. The team adapted the Back pain Knowledge and Beliefs Survey into Brazilian Portuguese.
Psychometric testing covered content, structure, and consistency. The adapted version scored acceptably on internal consistency and reliability. Its structure held up when checked across groups, supporting fair comparison between populations. The authors conclude the Brazilian version can measure evidence-based understanding of low back pain. Clinicians can use it to spot beliefs that block self-management before tailoring education to each patient.
