Abstract

Introduction:A nutritionally balanced diet is crucial among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients to maintain their health status. An appropriate instrument is needed to assess ESRD patients’ adherence towards dietary recommendations. Several questionnaires to measure adherence behaviours of ESRD patients are available but none has ever been translated into the Malay language. Therefore, this study aimed to translate the modified version of the End-stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire (ESRD-AQ), focusing on the dietary adherence component, from English to Malay.Methodology:Forward and backward translations of the questionnaire were conducted involving experts in dietetics and linguistics to produce a pre-harmonized Malay translation and two backward English translations according to established guidelines. An expert committee reviewed these translated questionnaires to produce a harmonized version. This then underwenta pre-test conducted using cognitive interview, as wellas facevalidity assessment, involving 15 haemodialysis patients. Results:Minor amendments were made to several phrases during the expert committee review to ensure the translated questionnaire was contextually appropriate and culturally adapted to the Malay language. All questions in the Malay version of the modified ESRD-AQ achieved a Face Validity Index (FVI) value of 1.00, indicating high validity. Conclusion:The Malay version of the modified ESRD-AQ (Dietary Adherence Component) underwent translation and validation protocols, the findings of which indicate that it is clear and comprehensible for use in assessing dietary adherence among ESRD patients in Malaysia.
