背景：研究人员开始在非英语人口中使用问卷进行研究，需要经过土著语言验证的工具。在本研究中，我们试图回顾关于所有可用乌尔都语测量精神症状的问卷的跨文化和/或标准效度状况的文献。方法：使用检索词；乌尔都语精神病学评定量表和乌尔都语与精神病学检索Medline、Embase、http://www.pakmedinet.com和PINFO。检索所检索文献的参考文献。只有描述乌尔都语问卷的跨文化或标准验证的研究才被纳入。结果：共有32项研究描述了19份问卷的有效性。其中6份问卷是用乌尔都语编写的，13份问卷是从英语翻译而来的。在六份土著问题单中，有五份接受了标准效度检查。在翻译的13份问卷中，只有4份同时进行了跨文化效度和标准效度评估。结论：乌尔都语精神症状有效问卷较少。BSI、SRQ和AKUADS是用乌尔都语评估最彻底的问卷。
Background: Researchers setting out to conduct research employing questionnaires in non-English speaking populations need instruments that have been validated in the indigenous languages. In this study we have tried to review the literature on the status of cross-cultural and/or criterion validity of all the questionnaires measuring psychiatric symptoms available in Urdu language.Methods: A search of Medline, Embase, PsycINFO and http://www.pakmedinet.com was conducted using the search terms; Urdu psychiatric rating scale, and Urdu and Psychiatry. References of retrieved articles were searched. Only studies describing either cross-cultural or criterion validation of a questionnaire in Urdu measuring psychiatric symptoms were included.Results: Thirty two studies describing validation of 19 questionnaires were identified. Six of these questionnaires were developed indigenously in Urdu while thirteen had been translated from English. Of the six indigenous questionnaires five had had their criterion validity examined. Of the thirteen translated questionnaires only four had had both their cross-cultural and criterion validity assessed.Conclusion: There is a paucity of validated questionnaires assessing psychiatric symptoms in Urdu. The BSI, SRQ and AKUADS are the questionnaires that have been most thoroughly evaluated in Urdu.
