Abstract

Objectives: This study translated the Barriers Questionnaire II (BQ-II) into Spanish and adapted and validated it to the Puerto Rican culture to be used as a research instrument. The BQ-II measures eight ideas or attitudes of the cancer patient towards pain management with pharmacological therapy, and which represent the patient's barriers to achieve relief.

Materials and Methods: The translation and cultural adaptation of the BQ-II was conducted using Beaton and colleagues’ six phases. The instrument was applied to 30 patients aged 21 years and older, with a diagnosis of cancer, and a pain rating greater than four on the numerical scale, to measure the internal consistency of the translated instrument.

Results: Participants had a median age of 52 (RIQ = 16.5) years. The median for pain intensity on the numerical scale was 7 (RIQ = 2.5). The median for the time living with pain was 7 months (RIQ = 21), and 100% of the participants presented two or more of the eight barriers. The instrument maintained a high internal consistency after translation and cultural adaptation, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.85. It maintained the 27 criteria of the original English version, despite reporting redundancy in some of the questions.

Conclusions: The Spanish version (PR-BQII) maintained its high internal consistency. By demonstrating its reliability to measure the cancer patient's barriers to managing pain, it is now available for use for the investigation of the phenomenon in Puerto Rico.
