The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the 12-item Örebro musculoskeletal screening questionnaire (ÖMSQ-12-TR)

The 12-item Örebro Musculoskeletal Screening Questionnaire (ÖMSQ-12) is a multidimensional questionnaire assessing general musculoskeletal problems. This study aimed to investigate its construct validity and reliability.
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed for construct validity. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) and the SF-12 and Pain Numerical Rating Scale (P-NRS) were used for convergent validity. Reliability (ICC), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), reproducibility, and known-group validity were assessed. The cut-off value was measured.
A total of n = 378 individuals (aged 35.7 ± 12.4 years, female = 73.3%) with a musculoskeletal problem participated in the study. P-NRS score of the individuals was 5. Results showed that a 3-factor model did fit well under CFA (χ2/df = 2.76 ≤ 3). The questionnaire had good reliability (ICC = 0.865) and internal consistency (α = 0.810). There were no floor or ceiling effects (r = 0.303–0.609). The AUC for the risk of absenteeism from work was obtained as 0.738 (p < 0.001). The risk of absenteeism was high in individuals with an ÖMSQ-12-TR score of ≥57.5.
The ÖMSQ-12-TR is a valid and reliable questionnaire that can be used in determining the risk of absenteeism in musculoskeletal disorders and is convenient for online use.

12条目奥勒布罗肌肉骨骼筛查问卷（Örebro Musculoskeletal Screening Questionnaire, ÖMSQ-12）是一款用于评估一般性肌肉骨骼问题的多维度筛查问卷。本研究旨在考察其结构效度与信度。
采用验证性因子分析（Confirmatory Factor Analysis, CFA）评估结构效度；以坦帕运动恐怖量表（Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, TSK）、SF-12量表以及疼痛数字评分量表（Pain Numerical Rating Scale, P-NRS）作为效标开展聚合效度检验。同时对信度（组内相关系数，Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, ICC）、内部一致性（克朗巴赫α系数，Cronbach’s alpha）、重测信度与已知组别效度进行评估，并测定了问卷的临界值。
本研究共纳入378名存在肌肉骨骼问题的受试者（年龄35.7±12.4岁，女性占比73.3%），受试者的疼痛数字评分量表平均得分为5。分析结果显示，三因子模型在验证性因子分析中拟合良好（χ²/df=2.76≤3）。该问卷具备良好的信度（ICC=0.865）与内部一致性（α=0.810），未出现地板效应或天花板效应（相关系数r=0.303~0.609）。工作缺勤风险对应的受试者工作特征曲线下面积为0.738（p<0.001）。当ÖMSQ-12-TR得分≥57.5时，受试者的工作缺勤风险显著升高。
ÖMSQ-12-TR是一款效度与信度俱佳的筛查问卷，可用于评估肌肉骨骼疾病患者的工作缺勤风险，且适配线上使用。
