The cross-cultural adaptation of the FreNAQ in Greek (FreNAQ-GR) and an assessment of its psychometric properties were conducted. Methods: This study included 104 participants (65 female) with non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP). Once the cross-cultural adaptation process of the FreNAQ-GR was complete, the testing of its construct validity was conducted via an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The construct validity examination also included a correlational analysis with a Pain Intensity Visual Analogue Scale (PI-VAS), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and demographics. The internal consistency of the FreNAQ-GR was also examined. A sub-sample of participants (n = 30) completed the FreNAQ-GR again after 5&ndash;7 days. Results: The dataset was appropriate for EFA (measure of sampling adequacy KMO = 0.763 and Bartlett&rsquo;s test of sphericity p &lt; 0.001). The FreNAQ-GR demonstrated a single-factor 6-item structure (items 7&ndash;9 removed), explaining 53.69% of the common variance. Statistically significant correlations (Spearman&rsquo;s) were registered between the FreNAQ-GR (both versions) and the NDI (r = 0.33/0.29, p &lt; 0.001), the TSK (r = 0.46/0.41, p &lt; 0.001), and the PCS (r = 0.37/0.33, p &lt; 0.001). For the 9-item and the 6-item FreNAQ-GR, the internal consistency (Chronbach&rsquo;s a/McDonald&rsquo;s &omega;) was 0.80/0.79 and 0.826/0.816, respectively. The test&ndash;retest reliability was excellent for both versions ICC2,1 (95% CI) = 0.98/0.98 (0.97&ndash;0.99/0.95&ndash;0.99), with low error values SEM = 0.90/0.74 and MDC95% = 2.49/2.05 points.

The cross-cultural adaptation of the FreNAQ in Greek (FreNAQ-GR) and an assessment of its psychometric properties were conducted. Methods: This study included 104 participants (65 female) with non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP). Once the cross-cultural adaptation process of the FreNAQ-GR was complete, the testing of its construct validity was conducted via an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The construct validity examination also included a correlational analysis with a Pain Intensity Visual Analogue Scale (PI-VAS), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and demographics. The internal consistency of the FreNAQ-GR was also examined. A sub-sample of participants (n = 30) completed the FreNAQ-GR again after 5&ndash;7 days. Results: The dataset was appropriate for EFA (measure of sampling adequacy KMO = 0.763 and Bartlett&rsquo;s test of sphericity <span class="html-italic">p</span> &lt; 0.001). The FreNAQ-GR demonstrated a single-factor 6-item structure (items 7&ndash;9 removed), explaining 53.69% of the common variance. Statistically significant correlations (Spearman&rsquo;s) were registered between the FreNAQ-GR (both versions) and the NDI (r = 0.33/0.29, <span class="html-italic">p</span> &lt; 0.001), the TSK (r = 0.46/0.41, <span class="html-italic">p</span> &lt; 0.001), and the PCS (r = 0.37/0.33, <span class="html-italic">p</span> &lt; 0.001). For the 9-item and the 6-item FreNAQ-GR, the internal consistency (Chronbach&rsquo;s a/McDonald&rsquo;s &omega;) was 0.80/0.79 and 0.826/0.816, respectively. The test&ndash;retest reliability was excellent for both versions ICC<sub>2,1</sub> (95% CI) = 0.98/0.98 (0.97&ndash;0.99/0.95&ndash;0.99), with low error values SEM = 0.90/0.74 and MDC<sub>95%</sub> = 2.49/2.05 points. Conclusions: The FreNAQ-GR is suitable for assessing neck self-awareness in Greek-speaking patients with NSCNP.</div> </section> <div id="html-keywords"> <div class="html-gwd-group"><div id="html-keywords-title">Keywords: </div><a href="/search?q=chronic+neck+pain">chronic neck pain</a>; <a href="/search?q=assessment">assessment</a>; <a href="/search?q=self-perception">self-perception</a>; <a href="/search?q=body+awareness">body awareness</a>; <a href="/search?q=questionnaires">questionnaires</a>; <a href="/search?q=cross-cultural+adaptation">cross-cultural adaptation</a>; <a href="/search?q=reproducibility">reproducibility</a>; <a href="/search?q=validation">validation</a>; <a href="/search?q=psychometric+properties">psychometric properties</a></div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </p> </div> </section> </div> <div class="hypothesis_container"> <ul class="menu html-nav" data-prev-node="#html-quick-links-title"> </ul> <div class="html-body"> <section id='sec1-healthcare-12-01985' type='intro'><h2 data-nested='1'> 1. Introduction</h2><div class='html-p'>Neck pain (NP) is among the most common causes of pain-related disability worldwide, significantly affecting the psychosocial status of patients as well as their families [<a href="#B1-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">1</a>]. Recent global burden of disease data from 204 countries show that neck pain affected 203 million people in 2020, primarily between the ages of 45 and 74, with an estimated projection of sufferers rising to 269 million by 2050 [<a href="#B2-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">2</a>]. Therefore, prevention, monitoring, and reforms in the healthcare system are required to reduce the burden worldwide [<a href="#B1-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">1</a>,<a href="#B2-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">2</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP), in particular, is defined as pain lasting for more than 3 months that is not related to an underlying secondary pathology, clustered under the category of chronic primary pain [<a href="#B3-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">3</a>]. Nonetheless, NSCNP is still difficult to manage effectively due to the complexity of its pathology, with physical [<a href="#B4-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">4</a>,<a href="#B5-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">5</a>] as well as psychosocial [<a href="#B5-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">5</a>] factors affecting patients’ symptomatology, as well as their quality of life [<a href="#B6-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">6</a>,<a href="#B7-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">7</a>]. Therefore, a multifactorial assessment is required, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the nature and extent of factors involved [<a href="#B8-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">8</a>,<a href="#B9-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">9</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>The altered somatosensory, cognitive and motor functional connectivity and processing in patients of non-traumatic NSCNP compared to healthy controls contributes to the non-resolution of NSCNP in many patients [<a href="#B10-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">10</a>,<a href="#B11-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">11</a>,<a href="#B12-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">12</a>]. For the somatosensory domain, manifestations can include impaired endogenous pain inhibition [<a href="#B5-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">5</a>] and mechanical hyperalgesia at remote non-painful sites [<a href="#B13-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">13</a>]. Manifestations for the somatosensory and cognitive domains combined can include self-perceived medium to high muscular tension [<a href="#B4-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">4</a>], proprioception deficits [<a href="#B14-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">14</a>], and a distorted body image [<a href="#B9-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">9</a>,<a href="#B15-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">15</a>]. Cognitive domain disturbances include increased anxiety, depression [<a href="#B16-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">16</a>], and fear-avoidance [<a href="#B17-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">17</a>]. Furthermore, various motor disturbances were reported in this patient group [<a href="#B18-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">18</a>,<a href="#B19-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">19</a>]. As far as body image is concerned, the dysfunction present may be due to sensory-cognitive distortions in the representation of the painful body parts’ actual shape, size or sense of ‘ownership’, in the primary sensory, the pre-motor cortex [<a href="#B20-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">20</a>,<a href="#B21-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">21</a>], and the posterior parietal cortex [<a href="#B22-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">22</a>,<a href="#B23-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">23</a>]. Therefore, exercises designed to improve body awareness may be responsible for the normalization of these distortions in neural and cognitive representations as well as pain amelioration [<a href="#B24-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">24</a>,<a href="#B25-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">25</a>,<a href="#B26-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">26</a>,<a href="#B27-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">27</a>,<a href="#B28-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">28</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>A questionnaire designed to comprehensively assess bodily self-awareness alterations in patients with chronic back pain is the Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) [<a href="#B29-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">29</a>], upon which the Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FreNAQ) was subsequently developed to assess the same construct in patients with NSCNP [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>].

Cross-Cultural Adaptation Procedure of the FreNAQ</h4><div class='html-p'>The cross-cultural adaptation of the FreNAQ scale in Greek was initiated with permission from Prof. Benedict Martin Wand, the scale’s developer. A previous systematically outlined methodology served as the basis for the cross-cultural adaption [<a href="#B31-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">31</a>,<a href="#B32-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">32</a>]. In particular, two bilingual translators (one with clinical experience in healthcare and one without) independently performed two “forward” translations from English to Greek. A draft Greek version of the scale was then produced by combining the two translations into one and discussing and resolving any minor differences. Then, without access to the original scale, two Greek-speaking language experts—one a healthcare professional and the other a non-healthcare professional—whose mother tongue was English, carried out the “back translation” of the preliminary Greek version into English. Once the back-translation process was complete, the review committee, comprising the primary researcher, a methodologist, and all of the translators, assessed each version of the FreNAQ in Greek and English to make sure that the format, language, grammar, and meaning (semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence) were appropriate. Committee members then discussed and settled upon by agreement any discrepancies, resulting in the preliminary version of the FreNAQ-GR. To verify the conceptual and semantic equivalence of the pre-final FreNAQ-GR, ten patients suffering from NSCNP participated in its initial pilot testing. On a binary scale (clear/unclear), the patients, as well as the committee members, were asked to score the questionnaire’s instructions and items. If any were unclear, participants were asked to rephrase them to make them clearer. If at least 20% of the pilot testing participants felt that any part of it was confusing, the questionnaire had to be re-evaluated and re-phrased [<a href="#B32-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">32</a>].</div></section><section id='sec2dot5-healthcare-12-01985' type='methods'><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 2.5. Validation Procedures of the FreNAQ-GR</h4><div class='html-p'>In the second part of this study, the finalized version of the FreNAQ-GR was administered to all participants with NSCNP referred to a private physiotherapy practice in Athens, after the consent of the practice owner was obtained.</div><div class='html-p'>A questionnaire including patient demographic details (age, sex, height, weight, BMI, marital status, work status, educational level, and exercise level), was administered to patients. The data collection also included the FreNAQ-GR, a Pain Intensity Visual Analogue Scale, over the past week on average (PI-VAS), the Neck Disability Index in Greek (NDI-GR), the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia in Greek (TSK-GR), and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale in Greek (PCS-GR). About a third of the participants (n = 30) filled in the FreNAQ-GR for a second time after 5–7 days without receiving any therapy between the two occasions for a test–retest reliability evaluation of the scale. All scales were administered to patients in printed format by either of the two student physical therapists at the time (F.N. and F.K.).</div></section><section id='sec2dot6-healthcare-12-01985' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 2.6. The Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FreNAQ)</h4><div class='html-p'>The FreNAQ was first cross-culturally adapted and studied for its psychometric properties in a Turkish (FreNAQ-T) [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>] population and subsequently in a Japanese (FreNAQ-J) [<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>] population. It is a relatively new and easy to complete 9-item tool for assessing bodily self-awareness/self-perception of the neck. It is a modification of the Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ), aimed to assess body awareness specifically for the lumbar region in individuals with chronic low back pain [<a href="#B29-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">29</a>]. The FreNAQ assesses the degree of disturbed self-perception/self-awareness, such as symptoms of neglect/motor control deficits (items 1–3), reduced proprioceptive acuity (items 4–5), and changes related to the self-perception of the shape, size, and symmetrical position of the neck (items 6–9). Each item is scored using a 5-point Likert scale, with scores ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (always). The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating greater levels of disturbed neck awareness [<a href="#B29-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">29</a>,<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>,<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>]. Both previous studies on the FreNAQ reported the scale to be unidimensional, without including any inconsistent items (Rasch analysis), having good test–retest reliability and internal consistency [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>,<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>]. The FreNAQ-T demonstrated significant significant, however weak correlations with the PI-VAS (during activity, at rest and at night), the SF-36 (physical fitness, physical health, vitality, pain, social functioning, general health), the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and a moderate significant correlation with the NDI [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>].

Similarly, the FreNAQ-J significantly correlated with the NDI (r = 0.35), pain intensity with motion in the past 7 days (r = 0.36), the TSK (r = 0.28) and the PCS (r = 0.48); however, it did not correlate with pain intensity at rest (r = 0.23; <span class='html-italic'>p</span> = 0.02). In all three studies, neck self-awareness was significantly associated both with patient disability and their cognitive domain affectivity. Indeed, pain-related fear of movement/re-injury, anxiety, and feelings of catastrophizing may distort body awareness and vice versa [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>]. The FreNAQ-GR was not associated with the duration of symptoms or average pain intensity over the past week. In contrast, the two previous validations [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>,<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>] took into account the VAS pain intensity felt under different situations (activity, rest, and at night), and significant associations were found in all of them except for pain at rest and the FreNAQ-J. Differences in VAS scale assessment conditions, as well as the different characteristics of the populations tested, may have accounted for the differences in the strength of the correlations between this and the two previous studies [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>,<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>The FreNAQ-GR possessed good internal consistency for both the 9- and 6-item versions, respectively, as measured with the Cronbach’s α (0.80/0.826) and the McDonald’s ω (0.79/0.816) indices, with slightly higher values for the 6-item version for both indices. The internal consistency of the FreNAQ-J [<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>] was comparable (Chronbach’s α = 0.81) to the FreNAQ-GR, while for the FreNAQ-T [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>], it was lower (Person Separation Index = 0.70), but also within the acceptable range.</div><div class='html-p'>The FreNAQ-GR demonstrated excellent test–retest reliability (n = 30, over a time interval of 5–7 days) for both the 9 and 6-item versions, with an ICC<sub>2,1</sub>(95% CI) = 0.98/0.98 (0.97–0.99/0.95–0.99), and low error values (SEM = 0.90/0.74 and MDC<sub>95%</sub> = 2.49/2.05 points), respectively. Comparatively, the test–retest reliability of FreNAQ-J was very good, over a two-week time interval (n = 43), with an ICC<sub>3,1</sub> (95% CI) = 0.81 (0.67 to 0.89) [<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>]. The test–retest reliability for the FreNAQ-T (n = 37) with a 3-day time interval was tested with differential item functioning (DIF) by time, with none of the items showing DIF, as well as an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.711 reported [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>]. None of the two previous studies reported the level of test–retest error. For this study, the MDC<sub>95%</sub> was of very good level, with scores ±3 for the 9-item and ±2 for the 6-item FreNAQ-GR of a patient’s initial scores attributed to a true improvement or deterioration in patient condition and not the test–retest error.</div><div class='html-p'>This study confirmed the validity and reliability of the FreNAQ scale in relation to previous work [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>,<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>]. A limitation present in this study was that, although this study confirmed the unidimensional structure of the FreNAQ-GR, it included 6 out of the 9 original scale items. The FreNAQ-J study also reported a similar issue for items 7–9, albeit with a different type of analysis. As a result, a confirmation of the FreNAQ-GR’s factor structure may be required in a subsequent study, although the number of participants used (n = 104) met the minimum criteria for EFA [<a href="#B47-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">47</a>]. Additionally, a confirmatory factor analysis [<a href="#B58-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">58</a>] for the FreSHAQ-GR should also be conducted. Furthermore, the FreNAQ-GR should be validated in patients with CNP of traumatic onset (i.e., whiplash), of various age groups, and occupational involvement. Regarding convergent validity, in the previous two validation studies of the FreNAQ [<a href="#B30-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">30</a>,<a href="#B33-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">33</a>] a weak but significant relationship of the FreNAQ with the pain intensity scales used was established. In a subsequent validation of the FreNAQ-GR, a possible differentiation of the pain intensity outcome under various movement (activity) and rest (daytime rest and at night) conditions might be required. The differences identified for the correlations between pain intensity and the FreNAQ could have resulted due to differences in patient pain characteristics and pain duration identified between studies. Finally, the responsiveness of the FreNAQ-GR scale should be tested in future investigations examining the effectiveness of movement-based [<a href="#B25-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">25</a>,<a href="#B26-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">26</a>] or body awareness-based [<a href="#B27-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">27</a>,<a href="#B28-healthcare-12-01985" class="html-bibr">28</a>] interventions.</div></section><section id='sec5-healthcare-12-01985' type='conclusions'><h2 data-nested='1'> 5. Conclusions</h2><div class='html-p'>The cross-cultural adaptation of the FreNAQ scale in Greek for patients with CNP was completed, presenting sufficient face and construct validity, supporting a 6-item version of the FreNAQ-GR. The results of the current study confirm that the scale possesses very good psychometric properties, comparable to the original scale, with good internal consistency and excellent test–retest reliability. Regarding its construct validity, the FreNAQ-GR correlated significantly with patient clinical status outcomes, and a factor analysis revealed a single-factor solution for the FreNAQ-GR.</div><div class='html-p'>Therefore, it is recommended for further use in the clinical and research environment involving Greek-speaking patients with neck pain conditions.</div></section> </div> <div class="html-back"> <section><section id='app1-healthcare-12-01985' type=''><h2 data-nested='1'> Supplementary Materials</h2><div class='html-p'>The following supporting information can be downloaded at: <a href='https://www.mdpi.com/article/10.3390/healthcare12191985/s1' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.mdpi.com/article/10.3390/healthcare12191985/s1</a>, The Greek Version of the Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FreNAQ-GR).</div></section></section><section class='html-notes'><h2 >Author Contributions</h2><div class='html-p'>Conceptualization, G.A.K., E.P., and S.V.; methodology, G.A.K., P.I.T., E.P. and S.V.; validation, G.A.K., F.N., F.K., P.I.T. and E.P.; formal analysis, G.A.K.; investigation, G.A.K., F.N., F.K., P.I.T. and E.P.; resources, G.A.K., F.N., F.K., P.I.T., E.P. and S.V.; data curation, G.A.K., F.N., and F.K.; writing—original draft preparation, G.A.K., F.N., F.K. and S.V.; writing—review and editing, G.A.K., F.N., F.K., P.I.T., E.P. and S.V.; visualization, G.A.K.; supervision, G.A.K. and P.I.T.; project administration, G.A.K., P.I.T., E.P. and S.V.
