Purpose : The objective of this study was to translate the obesity-related problems (OP) scale for Koreans and to validate it for use in Korean populations. Methods : Translation and back-translation of the OP scale was performed and a pilot test was conducted. Following this, patients who had received treatment at the Obesity Center of Inha University Hospital were selected for participation in the field test. Cronbach¡¯s alpha (¥á) was used for assessment of the internal consistency of the OP scale. Spearman¡¯s correlation coefficients were used to assess the concurrent validity between the OP scale, the EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D), and the Beck depression inventory (BDI) scale. One-way analysis of variance and t-test were used to assess the factors associated with the OP scale. Results : A total of 67 individuals participated in the field study. The standardized Cronbach¡¯s ¥á of the OP was 0.913. A significant negative correlation was observed between the OP scale and the EQ-5D and a positive correlation was observed between the OP scale and the BDI (the correlation coefficient with EQ-5D = -0.316, and the BDI = 0.305, P < 0.05). Conclusion : The results of this study prove that the Korean version of the OP has been translated and adapted correctly in order to meet the standard of its use.
