AB  - PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to cross-culturally adapt the Neck Bournemouth 
      Questionnaire in Italian (NBQ-I) and validate its psychometric properties in a 
      sample of subjects with chronic neck pain. METHODS: The NBQ-I was developed 
      according to international standards. The psychometric testing included the 
      content validity, assessed by considering the relevance and comprehensiveness of 
      the items, the structural validity by factor analysis, the construct validity and 
      the responsiveness by mean of hypotheses testing process comparing, respectively, 
      the test scores and the changes scores of the NBQ-I with those of the Neck Pain 
      and Disability Scale, the Numerical Rating Scale for Pain, the EuroQoL 5 
      Dimension Index and its numerical rating scale. Finally, we tested the 
      reliability by internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and the interpretability by 
      calculating the Minimal Clinical Important Difference (MCID). RESULTS: The NBQ-I 
      had acceptable psychometric characteristics. A total of 96 subjects with chronic 
      neck pain completed the questionnaire's administration. The high relevance and 
      comprehensiveness of the items pointed out acceptable face validity. The 
      construct validity analysis was based on the structural validity, which revealed 
      a two factors structure explaining 69.2 % of variance, and on the hypotheses 
      testing process, which showed a moderate validity. The internal consistency was 
      acceptable (alpha = 0.89). The responsiveness, assessed with the hypotheses testing 
      process, was moderate. The MCID was 5.5 points. CONCLUSIONS: The validation 
      process revealed acceptable psychometric properties of the NBQ, whose Italian 
      version can be used for research and clinical purposes.
