BACKGROUND
To develop the first international instrument to measure fertility quality of life (FertiQoL) in men and women experiencing fertility problems, to evaluate the preliminary psychometric properties of this new tool and to translate FertiQoL into multiple languages.
METHOD
We conducted a survey, both online and in fertility clinics in USA, Australia/New Zealand, Canada and UK. A total of 1414 people with fertility problems participated. The main outcome measure was the FertiQoL tool.
RESULTS
FertiQoL consists of 36 items that assess core (24 items) and treatment-related quality of life (QoL) (10 items) and overall life and physical health (2 items). Cronbach reliability statistics for the Core and Treatment FertiQoL (and subscales) were satisfactory and in the range of 0.72 and 0.92. Sensitivity analyses showed that FertiQoL detected expected relations between QoL and gender, parity and support-seeking. FertiQoL was translated into 20 languages by the same translation team with each translation verified by local bilingual fertility experts.
CONCLUSIONS
FertiQoL is a reliable measure of the impact of fertility problems and its treatment on QoL. Future research should establish its use in cross-cultural research and clinical work.
背景
为了开发第一个用于测量男性和女性在经历生育问题时的生育生活质量（FertiQoL）的国际工具，评估这个新工具的初步心理测量学特性，并将 FertiQoL 翻译成多种语言。
方法
我们在美国、澳大利亚/新西兰、加拿大和英国的在线和生育诊所进行了一项调查。共有 1414 名生育问题患者参与了调查。主要的测量结果是 FertiQoL 工具。
结果
FertiQoL 由 36 个项目组成，评估核心（24 个项目）和与治疗相关的生活质量（QoL）（10 个项目）以及整体生活和身体健康（2 个项目）。核心和治疗 FertiQoL（和子量表）的 Cronbach 可靠性统计数据令人满意，范围在 0.72 到 0.92 之间。敏感性分析表明，FertiQoL 检测到了生活质量与性别、生育次数和寻求支持之间的预期关系。FertiQoL 由同一个翻译团队翻译成 20 种语言，每种语言的翻译都经过当地双语生育专家的验证。
结论
FertiQoL 是衡量生育问题及其治疗对生活质量影响的可靠工具。未来的研究应该在跨文化研究和临床工作中建立其使用方法。
