Although the Kidney Disease Quality of Life instrument (KDQOL-SF), which was designed to measure the comprehensive quality of life in patients with end stage renal disease, has been tested and widely administered in many other counties, it has not yet been translated, validated and reported for Korea. The primary purpose of this study was to validate a Korean version of KDQOL-SF and to evaluate its psychometric properties. The study subjects were 164 patients with hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in university dialysis centers in Korea. In order to investigate the reliability, test-retest reliability and internal consistency reliability were assessed. Both test-retest reliability and internal consistency reliability were found to be high. In order to investigate the construct validation, all the items of the SF-36 scales, an established generic QOL measures, were compared with an overall health rating scale in kidney disease-targeted scale. They found to be highly correlated with each other. Moreover, overall health rating scale was significantly correlated with symptoms/problems, effects of kidney disease, burden of kidney disease, cognitive function (p < 0.001), and quality of social interaction (p < 0.05). These results suggest that the Korean version of KDQOL-SF satisfies its reliability and validity in Korean patients with hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. This questionnaire provides important and clinically valuable information for understanding the health related quality of life in the Korean patients with dialysis.
尽管用于测量终末期肾病患者综合生活质量的肾病生活质量量表（KDQOL-SF）已在许多其他国家进行了测试并广泛应用，但尚未在韩国进行翻译、验证和报告。本研究的主要目的是验证KDQOL-SF的韩语版本并评估其心理测量特性。研究对象是韩国大学透析中心的164例血液透析或持续性非卧床腹膜透析患者。为了调查信度，评估了重测信度和内部一致性信度。发现重测信度和内部一致性信度都很高。为了调查结构效度，将已确立的通用生活质量测量工具SF-36量表的所有项目与针对肾病的总体健康评定量表进行了比较。发现它们彼此高度相关。此外，总体健康评定量表与症状/问题、肾病影响、肾病负担、认知功能（p<0.001）和社会互动质量（p<0.05）显著相关。这些结果表明，KDQOL-SF韩语版本在韩国血液透析或持续性非卧床腹膜透析患者中满足其信度和效度。该问卷为了解韩国透析患者与健康相关的生活质量提供了重要且具有临床价值的信息。
