Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to adapt, validate, and assess the reliability of the Geriatric Pain Measure - Short Form in Turkish. A total of 150 patients aged 65 years and older will complete the scale under the supervision of pain management and gerontology specialists. Reliability and validity will be evaluated using statistical analyses, including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and correlation with validated pain and sleep scales. Ethical approval has been obtained, and all participants will provide informed consent.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For the Turkish adaptation, validation, and reliability study of the Geriatric Pain Measure - Short Form, permission was obtained from Dr. Eva Blozik, the original developer of the scale. The adaptation process will follow standard cross-cultural validation guidelines, including forward translation into Turkish by an expert group, back-translation into English by a separate expert group, and comparison of the back-translated version with the original English version for conceptual and linguistic accuracy. A multidisciplinary expert panel, including Turkish language specialists and pain management experts, will review the final Turkish version, making necessary cultural adaptations to ensure semantic equivalence. The study will involve 150 patients aged 65 years and older visiting the Pain Management Clinic, where they will complete the Turkish version of the scale under the supervision of pain management and gerontology specialists. Reliability will be assessed through internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), test-retest reliability, and item-total correlations, while construct validity will be evaluated using factor analysis. Concurrent validity will be examined by correlating the Turkish version of the scale with other outcome measures. Ethical approval has been obtained from Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital Ethics Committee, and all participants will provide written informed consent before participation.
