Why is it important?

Robust instruments measures help professionals to better screen mental health problems, as well as scholars and students to add, develop and extend the best reliable evidence. In this case study, I convey readers into the research procedures for instruments adaptation process and psychometric tests, with an emphasis on the method selected and how it guided me to achieve my research purposes. Also, I present and discuss the challenges encountered over the process, decision-making about standard procedures protocol, and how I faced and dealt with problems. Mainly related to cross-cultural adaptation, sampling and sample size, data analysis, and validity and reliability tests.

Perspectives

Thus I hope researchers and students learn how to carry out this type of research project. Manly, to highlight how to choose and use methods, recognize challenges, and develop solutions as they design and carry out their projects
