The goal of this study was to determine the validity, reliability, and internal consistency of the Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI) for evaluating nasal and sinus diseases in Turkey.
The study included 120 patients (77 males, 43 females; mean age 39+/-12 years; range 18 to 65 years) with diagnoses of allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyposis, and septal deviation. Each group consisted of 30 patients. The Turkish version of the RSDI was administered to all the patients together with the SF-36 quality of life scale as the gold standard reference test. For reliability, the RSDI was re-administered to 15 patients a week after the first. Internal consistency, reliability, and validity tests were carried out to evaluate the RSDI.
The Cronbach's alpha coefficients were between 0.7175 and 0.9308 for the subscales of the RSDI, showing internal consistency. The correlation coefficients of the functional, emotional and physical subscales of the RSDI between the first and second administrations were 0.861, 0.883, and 0.902, respectively, indicating reliability. There were significant positive correlations between similar subscales of the RSDI and the SF-36.
The results of this study indicate that the Turkish version of the RSDI can be used for evaluating sinonasal diseases.
本研究的目的是确定鼻窦炎残疾指数（RSDI）在评估土耳其鼻和鼻窦疾病时的有效性、可靠性和内部一致性。
该研究纳入了120例诊断为变应性鼻炎、慢性鼻窦炎、鼻息肉和鼻中隔偏曲的患者（77例男性，43例女性；平均年龄39±12岁；范围18至65岁）。每组由30例患者组成。将RSDI的土耳其语版本与作为金标准参考测试的SF-36生活质量量表一起施用于所有患者。为评估可靠性，在首次施测一周后对15例患者再次施测RSDI。进行内部一致性、可靠性和有效性测试以评估RSDI。
RSDI各子量表的克朗巴哈系数在0.7175至0.9308之间，显示出内部一致性。RSDI功能、情感和身体子量表首次与第二次施测之间的相关系数分别为0.861、0.883和0.902，表明具有可靠性。RSDI的相似子量表与SF-36之间存在显著正相关。
本研究结果表明，RSDI的土耳其语版本可用于评估鼻鼻窦疾病。
