Turkish Translation of Physical Activity Barriers and Facilitators Scale; Validity, Reliability, and Cultural Adaptation

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Background:The aim of our study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Barriers & Facilitators to Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire in young individuals after cultural adaptation. The results of this study may shed light on youth PA participation studies, enable a clear explanation of the barriers and facilitators of physical activity in community-based research, and develop goal-oriented strategies for PA participation. Material&Method:The research will be carried out between July 2022 and July 2023 following the approval of the ethics committee. Students studying at İstinye University and young individuals between the ages of 18-24, who accepted to participate in the study as a result of the invitation and whose family consent was obtained, will participate in the research. The socio-demographic characteristics, age, gender, body weight, height and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the participants will be evaluated and recorded with a specially prepared evaluation form. All participants in the study will complete the Turkish version of the BFYPA, the Physical Activity Barriers Scale (PABS), Motivation for Participation in Physical Activity Scale (MPPAS), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) at their first visit. Translation and cultural adaptation process of the original BFYPA Beaton et al. (2000) with reference to the guideline .

|Other: Turkish Translation of Physical Activity Barriers and Facilitators Scale|Participants to be included in the study will be listed under a special code (traffic code of their city of birth, date of birth and order of participation). The socio-demographic characteristics, age, gender, body weight, height and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the participants will be evaluated and recorded with a specially prepared evaluation form. All participants in the study will complete the Turkish version of the PABFS, the Physical Activity Disability Scale (PADS), the Motivation for Participation in Physical Activity Scale (MPPAS), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) at their first visit. Participants will complete the BFYPA again after 7 days.|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Physical Activity Barriers and Facilitators Scale (BFYPA) | Physical Activity Barriers and Facilitators Scale (Arlinghaus et al. 2021) consists of two subscales. Provides information on barriers and facilitators to physical activity among young people. BFFA is a Likert-type scale consisting of 20 items. Items were graded between 1-5 values corresponding to Never and Always . Written permission to use the scale was obtained for this study and the scale developers sent the scale. | 01.07.2022-01.07.2023 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PHYSICAL ACTIVITY BARRIERS QUESTIONNAIRE | It is a 5-point Likert-type (1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree) and consists of 24 items to determine the situations seen as obstacles to physical activity by Suraya et al. All items in the scale are positive statements, and high scores mean that the probability of creating an obstacle is high. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the original scale was 0.85 and between 0.68-0.74 for its sub-dimensions. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was found to be 0.87, and the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients for the sub-dimensions of the scale were found to be between 0.53 and 0.85. | 01.07.2022-01.07.2023 | 
| Motivation Scale for Participation in Physical Activity (MSPPA) | Motivation Scale for Participation in Physical Activity was developed by Demir (2018) to measure high school students' motivation to participate in physical activity. MSPPA is a likert-type scale consisting of 16 items. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 16, and the highest score is 80. The high scores of the participants on the scale mean that their motivation to participate in physical activity is positive. In this context, the scores obtained by the participants from the MSPPA indicate that they have 1-16 very low, 17-32 low, 33-48 medium, 49-64 high, 65-80 very high motivation to participate in physical activity. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the original scale was found to be between 0.82 and 0.89. Spearman Brown split-half reliability coefficients were found to vary between 76 and 89. | 01.07.2022-01.07.2023 | 
| Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form | The validity and reliability study of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) in Turkey was carried out by Öztürk in 2005. In our study, the self-administered short form of the questionnaire with 7 questions covering the last 1 week will be used to evaluate the level of physical activity. Calculation of the total score of the short form includes the sum of time (minutes) and frequency (days) of walking, moderate-intensity activity, and vigorous activity. . | 01.07.2022-01.07.2023 |
