The King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) is a disease-specific, self-administered questionnaire designed to assess the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life (QOL) in women. To our knowledge there are no data on women's perception of completing the KHQ. Do they feel the KHQ to be useful and valuable or do they feel it to be too burdensome to be used in clinical practice? Therefore, we designed this study to evaluate patients' perception of the KHQ using QQ-10. The QQ-10 is a validated tool designed to measure patient's views on questionnaires.
This was a prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary referral teaching hospital. Patients were recruited from a one-stop urodynamics clinic. The study participants were asked to complete QQ-10 to give their views regarding KHQ. This produces two responses: positive value (communication, relevance, ease of use, comprehensiveness, enjoyableness, willingness to repeat) and negative burden (over-long, embarrassing, complicated, and upsetting). Mean scores and standard deviation for positive and negative responses were calculated
The KHQ was found to have a high mean value (73; range 13-100) and a low mean burden (25; range 0-81) regarding responses to individual QQ-10 items. This was reinforced by the positive comments provided in the text boxes.
Women perceived the KHQ as a valuable tool in their assessment without being bothersome.
国王健康问卷(KHQ)是一种针对特定疾病的自填式问卷,旨在评估尿失禁对女性生活质量(QOL)的影响。据我们所知,目前尚无关于女性对完成KHQ的看法的数据。她们认为KHQ有用且有价值,还是觉得它在临床实践中使用起来过于繁琐?因此,我们设计了本研究,使用QQ - 10来评估患者对KHQ的看法。QQ - 10是一种经过验证的工具,用于衡量患者对问卷的看法。
这是一项在三级转诊教学医院进行的前瞻性观察性研究。患者从一站式尿动力学诊所招募。研究参与者被要求完成QQ - 10,以给出他们对KHQ的看法。这产生两种回答:正面价值(沟通性、相关性、易用性、全面性、趣味性、愿意再次使用)和负面负担(过长、尴尬、复杂、令人心烦)。计算正面和负面回答的平均分和标准差。
对于QQ - 10各个项目的回答,KHQ的平均价值较高(73;范围13 - 100),平均负担较低(25;范围0 - 81)。文本框中提供的正面评论进一步证实了这一点。
女性认为KHQ是评估中的一种有价值的工具,且不会带来困扰。
