The study is conducted in two phases: first, the translation of the PEQ following established guidelines, and second, the validation of the translated questionnaire through a series of assessments over three months with 84 participants. Participants will complete the PEQ-DLV along with other surveys at baseline, two weeks, and three months to evaluate its reliability and validity.
