    Area of Science:

    • Psychometrics
    • Cross-cultural adaptation of instruments

    Context:

    • Validating translated questionnaires is crucial for cross-cultural research.
    • Haccoun's (1987) technique offers a robust method for assessing translation equivalence.
    • Previous methods may not adequately capture the nuances of bilingual response patterns.

    Purpose:

    • To describe and apply Haccoun's (1987) technique for validating translated questionnaires.
    • To assess the reliability and statistical equivalence of a French translation of a nursing research perception questionnaire.
    • To demonstrate the utility of Haccoun's method in psychometric validation.

    Summary:

    • A single group of bilingual subjects completed both original and French versions of the questionnaire at two time points.
    • Test-retest reliability, simultaneous correlations, and cross-correlations between language versions were computed.
