Objective: To validate and determine the reliability of the Indonesian version of the Summated Xerostomia Inventory (SXI-ID) questionnaire.
Background: Xerostomia is a common problem in older people, and the SXI is increasingly being used to measure it.
Materials And Methods: The SXI questionnaire was cross-culturally adapted to create an Indonesian version (SXI-ID), which was assessed for validity and reliability in a cross-sectional study of older adults living in nursing homes in Jakarta, Indonesia. Each participant signed an informed consent and was interviewed with the SXI-ID. A subset of participants was interviewed again after two weeks. A standard question was used to check criterion-related validity, by plotting the mean SXI-ID scale scores against the ordinal response categories of the standard question. The reliability check included Cronbach's alpha, total and inter-item correlation, and intraclass correlation for internal consistency, along with test-retest reliability.
Results: A total of 110 older adults participated. Cronbach's alpha value for the SXI-ID was .85, and the intraclass correlation coefficient value for test and retest in 15 participants was .9. The SXI-ID total score showed a strong positive correlation (.87) with the global question. There was a consistent ascending gradient in mean SXI-ID scores across the ordinal response categories of the global item.
Conclusion: The SXI-ID is psychometrically valid and reliable for measuring xerostomia in the Indonesian population.

The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) is the most widely used questionnaire to screen for symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the literature and clinical contexts. This study aimed to: (1) perform a cross-cultural adaptation of PCL-5 to the Indonesian sociolinguistic context; (2) assess the psychometric validity and reliability of the adapted version; (3) examine the prevalence of PTSD in the sample using the diagnostic guidelines from DSM-5 and a cut-off score derived from empirical analysis; (4) evaluate PTSD factor structures using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA); and (5) investigate the convergent and discriminant validity of the adapted scale. The study focused on a sample of Indonesian women, including women who had experienced sexual assault, other types of trauma, or no traumatic exposure.

Objectives: Despite the abundant evidence showing the benefits of muscle-strengthening exercise (MSE), no epidemiological tool is available for assessing MSE among Indonesian university students. This study is the first to adapt the Muscle-Strengthening Exercise Questionnaire (MSEQ) from its original English version into another language, specifically Indonesian, incorporating cultural adaptations and to pilot test it to assess its validity and reliability among university students in Indonesia.
Design: Translation and cultural adaptation, content validity studies, concurrent validity studies and reliability studies were conducted following COnsensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Status Measurement INstruments guidelines.

Initiating oral feeding at inappropriate times can cause stress and complications for Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants. It is essential to assess the infant's readiness for oral feeding to minimize stress and support the transition to full oral feeding. An objective assessment tool is necessary to improve the accuracy of determining the right time to start oral feedings.
