背景:简短形式的Qualiveen(SF-Qualiveen)问卷评估了膀胱和泌尿症状对神经系统疾病引起的泌尿系统损害患者生活质量(QoL)的影响。没有经过验证的阿拉伯语SF-Qualiveen问卷,因此,这项研究旨在为经历脊髓损伤(SCI)的阿拉伯患者提供SF-Qualiveen问卷的翻译和验证版本。
方法:心理测量特征,如内容和结构效度,测试-重测可靠性,并对内部一致性进行了分析。通过比较SF-Qualiveen与神经源性膀胱症状评分简表(NBSS-SF)问卷来评估结构效度。内部一致性是用克朗巴赫的阿尔法测量的,而采用组内相关系数(ICC)评估重测信度.通过主成分分析(PCA)建立因子效度。
结果:总SF-Qualiveen和有限制的域的内部一致性,\"\"恐惧,\"\"感觉,“”和“限制频率”显示出良好的内部一致性(Cronbach的alpha>0.7)。ICC总分为0.90,0.83的烦恼与限制,0.80的恐惧,0.84的感觉,限制频率为0.81。相关分析显示,NBSS-SF的总分与SF-Qualiveen的领域之间呈正相关。包括受到限制的打扰(r=0.53,p=0.02),恐惧(r=0.44,p=0.03),感觉(r=0.49,p=0.04),和限制频率(r=0.46,p=0.02)。确认整体项目社区的最佳拟合四因素模型范围为0.552至0.814,这表明中等到高社区,并使用PCA确认SF-Qualiveen的同质性。
结论:这项验证研究的结果表明,SF-Qualiveen在研究和临床实践中都是适用于讲阿拉伯语的SCI患者的可靠有效工具。
BACKGROUND: The Short-Form Qualiveen (SF-Qualiveen) questionnaire assesses the effect of bladder and urinary symptoms on patients\' quality of life (QoL) with urological impairment caused by neurological diseases. There is no validated SF-Qualiveen questionnaire in Arabic, so this study aims to provide a translated and validated version of the SF-Qualiveen questionnaire among Arabic patients experiencing spinal cord injury (SCI).
METHODS: Psychometric features such as content and construct validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency were analyzed. Construct validity was evaluated by contrasting the SF-Qualiveen with the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score Short-Form (NBSS-SF) questionnaire. Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach\'s alpha, whereas the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was employed to assess the test-retest reliability. Factorial validity was established by principal component analysis (PCA).
RESULTS: The internal consistency of the total SF-Qualiveen and the domains \"Bother with limitations,\" \"Fear,\" \"Feeling,\" and \"Frequency of limitations\" showed good internal consistency (Cronbach\'s alpha of > 0.7). ICC was 0.90 for the total score, 0.83 for the bother with limitations, 0.80 for fears, 0.84 for feeling, and 0.81 for frequency of limitations. The correlation analysis revealed a positive association between the total scores on the NBSS-SF and the domains of the SF-Qualiveen, comprising bother with limitations (r = 0.53, p = 0.02), fears (r = 0.44, p = 0.03), feelings (r = 0.49, p = 0.04), and frequency of limitations (r = 0.46, p = 0.02). The best-fit four-factor model for confirming overall item communalities ranged from 0.552 to 0.814, which indicates moderate to high communalities, and confirms the homogeneity of the SF-Qualiveen using PCA.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this validation study revealed that the SF-Qualiveen is a reliable and valid instrument appropriate for Arabic-speaking patients with SCI in both research and clinical practices.
