Brief Summary

Low back pain (LBP) is a globally prevalent health issue, affecting the majority of individuals at some point in their lives. Misconceptions about LBP can prolong its chronicity, highlighting the importance of educating patients with accurate information. The Back Pain Knowledge and Beliefs Survey (BacKS), introduced in 2024, aims to measure individuals' knowledge about LBP based on updated scientific evidence. Given the high prevalence of LBP in Turkey and the lack of validated tools in Turkish, adapting BacKS to Turkish is essential. This study aims to conduct its cross-cultural adaptation, validation, and reliability analysis for clinical and community use.
