Abstract

OBJECTIVES

In this study, the objective was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the melasma quality of life questionnaire (MelasQoL-Tr) for melasma patients.

METHODS

The study included 114 melasma patients. The melasma area and severity index (MASI), MelasQoL-Tr and the Turkish short version of the QoL assessment instrument from the World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to assess melasma severity and QoL at baseline. The reliability and validity of MelasQoL-Tr were computed.

RESULTS

The mean age of the patients in the study was 31.8 +/- 7.3 years. The internal consistency of the scale (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) was 0.88. The MelasQoL-Tr score was 29.9 +/- 14.6 (range 10-66). The total WHOQOL-BREF score was 54.8 +/- 9.8. The comparison of MelasQoL-Tr and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires showed an inverse significant correlation on total scores, which indicated a sufficient convergent validity. According to the subscale of WHOQOL-BREF, the inverse correlation was most significant between the MelasQoL-Tr score and psychological domain and less significant between the MelasQoL-Tr score and environmental domain. The MelasQoL-Tr score and MASI were significantly correlated.

CONCLUSION

The Turkish version of the MelasQoL was valid and reliable for evaluating the quality of life of Turkish melasma patients.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估黄褐斑患者生活质量问卷土耳其语版（MelasQoL-Tr）的有效性和可靠性。

方法

该研究纳入了114例黄褐斑患者。采用黄褐斑面积和严重程度指数（MASI）、MelasQoL-Tr以及世界卫生组织生活质量评估工具土耳其语简版（WHOQOL-BREF）在基线时评估黄褐斑严重程度和生活质量。计算MelasQoL-Tr的可靠性和有效性。

结果

研究中患者的平均年龄为31.8±7.3岁。该量表的内部一致性（克朗巴赫α系数）为0.88。MelasQoL-Tr评分为29.9±14.6（范围10 - 66）。WHOQOL-BREF总评分为54.8±9.8。MelasQoL-Tr与WHOQOL-BREF问卷总分比较显示呈显著负相关，表明具有充分的收敛效度。根据WHOQOL-BREF的子量表，MelasQoL-Tr评分与心理领域之间的负相关最为显著，与环境领域之间的负相关则较弱。MelasQoL-Tr评分与MASI显著相关。
