Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To cross-culturally adapt and validate the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) into Igbo culture.
METHODS
The English version of the PASE (E-PASE) was translated into Igbo, harmonized, back-translated, subjected to expert panel review, and pretested. The final Igbo version of PASE (I-PASE), the E-PASE, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were then administered to consecutively recruited 109 consenting Igbo older adults. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman rank-order correlation, and Cronbach's alpha at .05 level of significance.
RESULTS
All items on the E-PASE were retained on the I-PASE but some modifications were made. The I-PASE had poor internal consistency coefficient (α = .66), poor-to-excellent item, and total score known-group validity (ρ = .24-1.00) and moderate convergent validity (ρ = .50).
CONCLUSION
The I-PASE is a valid, reliable, and culturally specific tool for assessing PA among Igbo older adults.
