Abstract: Social support may be important in the perpetuation of symptoms in chronic low back pain (CLBP). The multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) is one of the best measures of social support with applicability in Africa. The aims of this study were to translate, culturally adapt, test-retest, and assess cross-sectional psychometric properties of the Igbo-MSPSS. Methods: Forward and backward translation of the MSPSS was done by clinicians and non-clinician translators and evaluated by a specialist review committee. The adapted measure was piloted amongst twelve adults with CLBP in rural Nigeria. Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficient were used for investigating internal consistency. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC: two-way random effects model, average of raters' measurements, absolute definition of agreement) reflecting both the degree of correlation and agreement between measurements was used for the statistical investigation of test-retest relia

Physical inactivity in healthy, obese, and diabetic adults in Germany: An analysis of related socio-demographic variables
Abstract: Background: Adults with diabetes or obesity are more likely to be physically inactive than healthy adults. Physical activity is essential in the management of both diseases, necessitating targeted interventions in these groups. This study...

Abstract: Background: Adults with diabetes or obesity are more likely to be physically inactive than healthy adults. Physical activity is essential in the management of both diseases, necessitating targeted interventions in these groups. This study analysed physical inactivity (defined as not taking part in leisure-time physical activity) in over 100,000 adults in Germany considering their body mass index and the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, the relationship between specific socio-demographic factors with physical inactivity was investigated, particularly focussing diabetic and obese people, to refine the identification of risk-groups for targeted interventions on physical activity promotion. Methods: Data from 13 population-based health surveys conducted in Germany from 1997 to 2018 were used. The relevant variables extracted from these datasets were merged and employed in the analyses. We included data from 129,886 individuals in the BMI analyses and 58,311 individuals in the diabete

Abstract: "Anhand des F&E-Projektes 'DIABGender' stellt der Artikel eine Vorgehensweise vor, mit der es möglich ist, Genderwissen der Sozialwissenschaften für die Informatik, konkret für die Entwicklung einer Diabetes-Selbstmanagement-Applikation, verfügbar zu machen. Damit soll ein Beitrag geleistet werden, der Herausforderung einer Vermittlung zwischen gelebter Vielfalt der Geschlechterforschung und notwendigen Abstraktionsprozessen der Informatik zu begegnen. Es werden dafür das Gender Extended Research Model (GERD) genutzt und Studien zu Gender und Diabetes analysiert, wenn sie wesentliche Problembereiche für Diabetes-Patient_innen darstellen. Die auch über partizipative Nutzer_innenerhebungen ermittelten Faktoren fließen in Form von individuellen Empfehlungen in das DIABGender-Wissensmodell ein." (Autorenreferat)
