The psychometric properties of two menopause-specific quality of life (QoL) measures, the Menopausal Quality of Life (MQOL), and the Women's Health Questionnaire (WHQ), were evaluated and compared in a convenience sample of 304 Korean women in menopausal transition. Data were collected with a self-report questionnaire. Evaluation of validity included factor analysis, convergent and discriminant validity, and known-groups validity. Evaluation of reliability included internal consistency reliability and item analysis. The results indicated that both QoL instruments were valid, but the WHQ was more internally consistent in measuring QoL although with a factor structure different from previous research. Replication studies to identify factor structures are needed for both measures.
本研究旨在评估和比较两种特定于绝经期的生活质量（QoL）量表，即绝经期生活质量量表（MQOL）和妇女健康问卷（WHQ）在 304 名处于绝经期过渡的韩国女性中的信度和效度。数据采用自报式问卷收集。效度评估包括因子分析、收敛和判别效度以及已知组别的有效性。可靠性评估包括内部一致性可靠性和项目分析。结果表明，两种 QoL 工具均具有有效性，但 WHQ 在测量 QoL 方面的内部一致性更高，尽管其因子结构与以往研究不同。这两种测量方法都需要进行复制研究以确定其因子结构。
