Turkish Translation of SportsConcussion Assesment Tool 6
Sponsor: Ordu University
Summary
Concussions, a significant type of sports injury caused by head, face, or neck trauma, are common in contact sports and require serious attention due to potential fatal consequences of mismanagement. The Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT), developed by the Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) and updated in 2023, provides a standardized approach to assess head injuries and manage athletes' return-to-sport process. While SCAT has been adapted into various languages, no Turkish version exists. This study aims to translate and culturally adapt SCAT 6 into Turkish, contributing to the accurate evaluation and management of concussion injuries among Turkish-speaking athletes.

Interventions
SCAT6-tr
Step 1: Initial Translation At this stage, two independent bilingual translators whose native language is Turkish will translate the content into Turkish. Step 2: Integration of Translations A single translation will be created by comparing the two Turkish versions of SCAT 6. Step 3: Back-translation The Turkish version will be translated into English by 2 bilingual colleagues who are blind to the original version. The Turkish version will be translated into English by 2 bilingual colleagues who are blind to the original version. These two English versions will be compared, differences will be resolved by consensus and a new combined version will be created. If consensus cannot be reached, a third person will be asked for help. Step 4: Expert Evaluation
