A validated French-Canadian version of the Appraisal of Tools for Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) was developed. This tool shows good clarity, excellent internal consistency, and moderate inter-rater reliability for assessing systematic reviews.

Area of Science:

  • Systematic review methodology
  • Health sciences research
  • Psychometrics and measurement

Context:

  • The Appraisal of Tools for Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) is a critical tool for evaluating the quality of systematic reviews.
  • A French-Canadian translation of AMSTAR is needed to facilitate its use within the Francophone research community.
  • Cross-cultural adaptation and validation are essential for ensuring the reliability and validity of measurement tools in different linguistic contexts.

Purpose:

  • To develop and validate a French-Canadian version of the AMSTAR tool.
  • To assess the content validity, inter-rater reliability, and factorial construct validity of the French-Canadian AMSTAR.
  • To provide a reliable instrument for evaluating systematic reviews in French.

  • A rigorous five-step cross-cultural validation process, adapted from Vallerand's methodology, was employed.
  • The final French-Canadian AMSTAR version demonstrated high clarity, excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91), and moderate inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.61).
  • Factor analysis confirmed the tool's unidimensionality.

    • Impact:

    • The validated French-Canadian AMSTAR offers a reliable and accessible tool for French-speaking researchers and clinicians.
    • This adaptation enhances the quality assessment of systematic reviews within the French-Canadian and international Francophone scientific communities.
    • Facilitates more consistent and accurate evaluation of systematic reviews in French-language research.
