Full description

This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Low Back Pain Knowledge Questionnaire (LKQ), a comprehensive tool that assesses individuals' knowledge about the characteristics, symptoms, causes, and management of low back pain. The study will follow a systematic process, including translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric evaluation. After translating the questionnaire using the forward-backward method, a panel of experts will review it for clarity and cultural relevance. The adapted questionnaire will be tested on a diverse sample to assess internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and test-retest reliability. The results will provide a validated Turkish version of the LKQ, enabling healthcare professionals to assess patient knowledge, guide educational programs, and improve low back pain management and prevention strategies.
