Özet
Background: Social role participation (RP) is a key outcome in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The Social Role Participation Questionnaire (SRPQ) assesses RP, its limitations, and satisfaction with performance. Objective: This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the SRPQ into Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability in individuals with AS. Methods: The SRPQ was translated and culturally adapted following established guidelines. A total of 129 Turkish-speaking patients with AS were included in this multicenter, cross-sectional study. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, and test-retest reliability was assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Construct validity was evaluated through correlations with the AS Quality of Life (ASQoL) Scale, Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36), and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) scale. Results: The Turkish SRPQ showed good to excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, 0.734–0.963) and test–retest reliability (ICC, 0.736–0.963). The physical difficulty dimension correlated strongly with the ASQoL (r = 0.756), WPAI-Q6 (r = 0.694), and the SF-36 physical functioning score (r = −0.658) (all p < 0.001). Satisfaction with performance was moderately correlated with the SF-36 physical functioning (r = 0.556, p < 0.001). Role importance showed weaker yet statistically significant correlations with SF-36 subscales, strongest for physical functioning (r = 0.373, p < 0.001), mental health (r = 0.299, p = 0.001), and vitality/energy (r = 0.272, p = 0.002). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the SRPQ is a valid, reliable, and culturally appropriate instrument for assessing social RP in Turkish-speaking patients with AS.
