Aim: To perform a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (NBSS) to Spanish in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.
Materials And Methods: The questionnaire was culturally adapted according to international guidelines. It was applied, twice in a range of 14-28 days. Psychometric properties were tested such as content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.
Results: A total of 82 patients between 18 and 78 years old (mean age of 43.9) participated in the study, and completed the first NBSS assessment; only 39 (32.19%) performed the test-retest study. The internal consistency was tested by Cronbach α with a result of 0.86 (95% CI, 0.81-0.90). The reliability was tested by interclass correlation coefficient with a result of 0.91 [0.87-0.95] (p < 0.0001). The construct validity was tested by Pearson correlation between NBSS and Qualiveen-SF, which showed a moderate correlation with a result of 0.57 (p < 0.0001). One-way analysis of variance with trend analysis demonstrated that patients who reported having a more severe problem with their bladder function had a higher NBSS total score (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that the Spanish version of the NBSS has a good internal consistency and reliability, proving its applicability.

Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Bochum, Germany.
Background: Patients with Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases, including axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), may suffer from stressors like pain and functional impairments leading to limitations in their self-perceived health status. The COping with Rheumatic Stressors (CORS) questionnaire was developed to analyze how patients cope with these stressors. The CORS is currently not available in German.

Background: This systematic review aims to investigate the methodologies employed in the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of functional activity measures for dementia on a global scale. The Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) initiative is used as a framework, offering established criteria for assessing psychometric properties across diverse domains.
Method: A systematic search of five electronic databases (CINAHL Plus, EMBASE, PubMed, MEDLINE, PsycINFO) was conducted from inception until September 2023.

Background: Facial emotion recognition testing in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients has been identified as key for early detection and as a marker for disease progression. Emotion recognition remains one of the most difficult domains to assess in culturally diverse populations due to a lack of culturally adapted tools. This study assessed the feasibility of a cross-cultural test for emotion recognition, the TIE-93, in French and North African populations living in France.

University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
Background: Dementia is highly stigmatised, misperceived as a mental illness, and considered a normal part of ageing by people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in Australia. There is a lack of valid and reliable scale to measure their dementia attitudes. This study aimed to cross-culturally translate and validate a dementia attitudes scale in Arabic, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Greek communities as they represent the main languages spoken throughout Western Sydney, Australia.

Background: Majority of people living worldwide live in low- and middle- income countries, including sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Most cognitive assessment batteries for Alzheimer's Disease(AD), are developed in high income countries (HICs), where most international dementia collaborations and data originate. The African Dementia Consortium (AfDC) is a new scientific collaboration network currently participating in the Recruitment and Retention for Alzheimer's Disease Diversity Genetic Cohorts in the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (READD-ADSP).
