eng	The Iowa Pain Thermometer-Revised (IPT-R): A new tool for Czech patients with stroke	Introduction: Pain is quite common in patients with stroke. These patients can use self-report pain intensity scales if they are able to respond appropriately. Due to visual field defects or neglect syndrome (NS), vertical pain scales are sometimes recommended. However, no evidence-based vertical pain scales are available in Czech. Aim: To translate the Iowa Pain Thermometer-Revised (IPT-R) into Czech and to conduct its transcultural validation and testing in a sample with stroke. Methods: The IPT-R was translated using forward-back translation. The preliminary Czech versions were subjected to reconciliation and harmonization, intended to yield a valid and conceptually equivalent translation of the original tool. The final step focused on testing the tool with Czech patients with stroke. Patients’ performance during the task was observed. Cognitive debriefing consisted of paraphrasing individual items, which was used to calculate item comprehension rate (ItCR), and requesting feedback on self-perceived respondent burden, using a 3-point Likert scale. Results: Seven patients participated (mean age 67.3 ± 4.4; 5 men). The most frequently observed problems were: did not read instructions (n = 6), additional explanation needed (n = 4) and had to re-orient to the relevant parts of the form (n = 4). ItCR of pain descriptors ranged from 42.9–85.7%. Most patients thought the tool was simple and could be completed quickly. Conclusion: The Czech version of the IPT-R was perceived favorably; however, nurses should be available to assist patients as necessary. Further testing is recommended with patients who have the above-mentioned impairments from stroke as they could impact the tool.	Iowa Pain Thermometer-Revised; pain; stroke; nursing
