- Abstract
Objective: The postoperative recovery expectations of patients are important for surgical decisions. The Hospital for Special Surgery-Lumbar Spine Surgery Expectations Survey (HSS-LSSES) is a questionnaire evaluating expectations from lumbar surgery. This study aims to adapt the HSS-LSSES to Turkish and to assess its validity and reliability. Materials and Methods: The methodology of this study was based on the COSMIN guideline. The Turkish version of the HSS-LSSES created with the double-back translation procedure and the Turkish version of the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) were administered to the participants who were scheduled for surgery with the diagnosis of lumbar radiculopathy, respectively. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item analysis were used to assess internal consistency. Also, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to determine test-retest reliability. Results: The study included 180 participants (54.4% male) with a mean age of 50.96±13.42 years at scheduled lumbar spine surgery. HSSLSSES had good internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.87) and excellent test-retest reliability [ICC (2.1)=0.99; p<0.01]. A strong negative correlation was found between HSS-LSSES-TR and QBPDS-TR (r=-0.71, p<0.01). It was observed that there was no ceiling and floor effect in the scale. Conclusion: HSS-LSSES-TR is a practical, valid, and reliable measurement method that can be used in clinical and research settings to evaluate the expectations of individuals planning for lumbar spine surgery and to examine how well these expectations are met after surgery.
