ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to measure the reliability, internal consistency, construct validity, and floor and ceiling effects of the Brazilian version of the Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP-dance) instrument. MethodsThis was a questionnaire validation study. Both professional dancers and those who use dance as a recreational activity were included in the study. For test–retest reliability, SEFIP-dance was administered to the same dancer at 2 different times, with an interval of 7 days between the moments. For construct validity, Spearman's correlation coefficient (rs) was used to determine the magnitude of the correlations between SEFIP-dance and the Numerical Rating Scale, the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, the Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire for general pain, and the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire. ResultsA total of 111 dancers were recruited and included in the study. From this total sample, a subsample of 31 was used for the calculations of test–retest reliability: when considering each item of SEFIP-dance, we observed adequate κ values (κ ≥ 0.52); considering the total score, we observed excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.94). In addition, we identified adequate values for internal consistency (Cronbach's α ≥ 0.80). We observed significant correlations of the SEFIP-dance total score with the Numerical Rating Scale, 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, the Roland–Morris questionnaire, and the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire (rs varying between 0.248 and 0.489). Ceiling and floor effects were not observed. ConclusionThis study found that the Brazilian Portuguese version of SEFIP-dance has psychometric properties suitable for its use in dancers.
