This includes several steps including forward translation, review and reconciliation of forward translation, back translation, back translation review, pre-testing and cognitive interviewing and providing the provisional version. Main steps for instrument development include definition of concept and its domain, explication of objectives for the measure, development of a blueprint; and construction of the measure, including administration procedures, item set, and scoring rules and procedures. Then content and face validity could be performed to provide the final version.
Conclusion: Translation or development of a health-related measure and its psychometric properties should methodologically be robust and follow standard procedures.
