Because of the importance and prevalence of incontinence among women, there is increasing interest in the development and use of well-constructed questionnaires studying quality of life. Also, there is a paucity of information on QOL in non-Western women suffering from urinary incontinence. The aim of this study was to translate the original English version of the I-QOL and to assess the reliability and validity of this questionnaire in Iranian patients with urinary incontinence.
Four hundred women with urinary incontinence completed the Persian version of the questionnaire. By Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the intraclass correlation coefficient, and confirmatory factor analysis, the reliability and validity of the questionnaire were assessed.
The median age of the respondents was 48 years (range 27-90). The overall I-QOL summary score showed internal consistency of 0.96 (Cronbach's alpha). The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.96 for the total score. The range of correlation between the I-QOL total score and the subscales of the Sf-36 and the Psychological General Well-Being (PGWB) questionnaires were between 0.47 to 0.59 and 0.52 to 0.61 respectively.
The Persian version of the I-QOL can be used for measuring QOL in urinary incontinent women in Iran.
由于女性尿失禁问题的重要性和普遍性，人们对开发和使用精心构建的生活质量调查问卷的兴趣日益浓厚。此外，关于非西方尿失禁女性生活质量的信息匮乏。本研究的目的是翻译I-QOL的原始英文版本，并评估该问卷在伊朗尿失禁患者中的信度和效度。
400名尿失禁女性完成了该问卷的波斯语版本。通过克朗巴哈系数、组内相关系数和验证性因素分析，对问卷的信度和效度进行评估。
受访者的中位年龄为48岁（范围27-90岁）。I-QOL总体总结得分显示内部一致性为0.96（克朗巴哈系数）。总分的组内相关系数为0.96。I-QOL总分与Sf-36问卷及心理总体幸福感（PGWB）问卷各子量表之间的相关范围分别为0.47至0.59和0.52至0.61。
I-QOL的波斯语版本可用于测量伊朗尿失禁女性的生活质量。
