Comparative Study
Cross-cultural adaptation and measurement properties of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire-Dutch Language Version.
Ever since Engel's Biopsychosocial Model (1977) emotions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors are accepted as important factors of health. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ) assesses these beliefs. Aim of this study was to cross-culturally adapt the Brief IPQ into the Brief IPQ Dutch Language Version (Brief IPQ-DLV), and to assess its face validity, content validity, reproducibility, and concurrent validity. ⋯ The face and content properties were found to be acceptable. The reproducibility and concurrent validity needs further investigated.
