The aim was to culturally adapt the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) tool for Turkish workplaces and evaluate its validity and reliability.
The study followed Beaton et al. guidelines for translation and cultural adaptation.
Two raters assessed 60 images representing various working postures for reliability testing.
Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability were measured using Cohen's kappa coefficient.
The adaptation improved clarity and usability, though inter-rater reliability was weak for ''neck'' (κ=-0.057) and moderate for ''load/force'' (κ=0.419).
Intra-rater reliability was strong for ''trunk'' (κ=0.943), ''legs'' (κ=0.769), and ''total REBA score'' (κ=0.835).
The Turkish REBA tool is validated for ergonomic assessments despite some sections needing improvement.
