Persian adaptation of the Bad Sobernheim stress questionnaire for adolescent with idiopathic scoliosis.

To examine the validity and reliability of the Persian versions of the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Deformity/Brace in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Persian forward/backward translation of the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Deformity/Brace was produced, and all stages for a cross-cultural adaptation process were carried out based on the International Quality of Life Assessment guidelines. The measurements of internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed by Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively.
