Incontinence is one of the most frequently encountered problems in multiple sclerosis (MS), and it has a negative effect on the daily lives of patients. Therefore, it is important to investigate this complaint and start appropriate treatment early. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Turkish-language Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QOL) in patients with MS. We included 37 patients with MS in this study. For analysis of test-retest reliability, we administered the Turkish-language version of I-QOL developed by a "translation-back translation" method to patients on the day of admission and 1 week after admission. To assess validity, we also evaluated patients with the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Scale (MQOL-54) and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). We calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient of the I-QOL (total and all subscores) as 0.88 to 0.91 and the Cronbach alpha score as 0.88 to 0.91 (p < 0.05). We found a significant correlation among all subscores of I-QOL and physical and mental subscores of MQOL-54 and EDSS (p < 0.05). Our study has demonstrated the internal consistency and reliability of the I-QOL in the Turkish language in patients with MS.
尿失禁是多发性硬化症（MS）中最常见的问题之一，它对患者的日常生活有负面影响。因此，对这一症状进行调查并尽早开始适当治疗很重要。我们研究的目的是证明土耳其语版尿失禁生活质量量表（I-QOL）在MS患者中的有效性和可靠性。本研究纳入了37例MS患者。为分析重测信度，我们在患者入院当天和入院1周后，采用“翻译-回译”方法将土耳其语版I-QOL量表施测于患者。为评估效度，我们还使用多发性硬化症生活质量量表（MQOL-54）和扩展残疾状态量表（EDSS）对患者进行了评估。我们计算出I-QOL量表（总分及所有子分数）的组内相关系数为0.88至0.91，克朗巴哈α系数为0.88至0.91（p<0.05）。我们发现I-QOL量表的所有子分数与MQOL-54量表的身体和心理子分数以及EDSS之间存在显著相关性（p<0.05）。我们的研究证明了土耳其语版I-QOL量表在MS患者中的内部一致性和可靠性。
