Summary BACKGROUND:The Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplantation (SIPAT) is a comprehensive instrument developed to provide a standardized, objective, and evidence-based psychosocial evaluation of the main pretransplant psychosocial risk factors that may influence transplant outcomes.OBJECTIVE:Because established assessment procedures or standardized tools designed to perform pre-solid organ transplant psychosocial evaluation are currently unavailable in Japan, the present study aimed to develop and preliminarily validate the Japanese version of the SIPAT.METHODS:First, the Japanese version of the SIPAT was developed using standard forward-back-translation procedures. Then, the Japanese versions of the SIPAT and the Japanese version of Psychosocial Assessment of Candidates for Transplant were retrospectively and blindly applied to 107 transplant cases by 4 independent raters.RESULTS:The interrater reliability of the scores obtained with the Japanese version of the SIPAT was excellent (Pearson's correlation coefficient = 0.86). The concurrent validity of the SIPAT to the Psychosocial Assessment of Candidates for Transplant for each examiner was substantial (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient = -0.66).CONCLUSION:These findings suggest that the Japanese version of the SIPAT is a promising and reliable instrument. Further research is required to test the predictive validity of the Japanese version of the SIPAT.
