Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of an ankle instability questionnaire for use in Chinese-speaking population

Background:The Identification of Functional Ankle Instability(IdFAI)is a valid and reliable tool to identify chronic ankle instability;however,it was developed in English,thus limiting its usage only to those who can read and write in English.The objectives of our study were to(1)cross-culturally adapt a Chinese(Mandarin)version of the IdFAI and(2)determine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version IdFAI.Methods:The cross-cultural adaptation procedures used by the investigators and translators followed previously published guidelines and included 6 stages:(1)initial translation,(2)synthesis of the translations,(3)back translation,(4)developing the pre-final version for field testing,(5)testing the pre-final version,and(6)finalizing the Chinese version of IdFAI(IdFAI-C).Five psychometric properties of the IdFAI-C were assessed from results of 2 participant groups:bilingual(n=20)and Chinese(n=625).Results:A high degree of agreement was found between the English version of IdFAI and IdFAI-C(intra-class correlation_(2,1)=0.995).An excellent internal consistency(Cronbach'sα=0.89),test—retest reliability(intra-class correlation_(2,1)=0.970),and construct validity(r(625)=0.67)was also found for the IdFAI-C.In addition,the results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated that ankle instability was the only construct measured from the IdFAI.Conclusion:The IdFAI-C is a highly reliable and valid self-report questionnaire that can be used to assess ankle instability.Therefore,we suggest that it can be used to effectively and accurately assess chronic ankle instability in clinical settings for Chinese-speaking individuals.

关于汉越词在越南使用情况的一些看法

本文主要讨论汉越词在越南的使用情况。本文也针对汉越词变体的选择及其译法的选择两个问题提出了一些建议。在评判汉越词使用的对与错时,汉越词与其词根的关系只是其中一个标准,更关键的依据主要为以下两点:其一,越南人对于借自汉语的词汇的原读音的认知方式;其二是文本/话语的创建和发起者的言语目的。在现代社会背景下,汉越词的使用是一个极其复杂的问题。要得出关于此问题可行的处理和解决办法,还需更进一步的讨论。
