Translation and psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the revised Patients' Attitudes Towards Deprescribing questionnaire

ConclusionsThis study provided an Arabic translation of the rPATD with evidence of validity and reliability comparable to the original tool. The Arabic rPATD could be used for adult patients in Arabic ‐speaking countries to ultimately contribute to the global literature of deprescribing. Overall, the patients in this study showed a favourable attitude towards deprescribing through a shared decision‐making process with their physicians. This can be seen as an opportunity to reduce the burden o f polypharmacy and unnecessary medications.
