Assessing the cross-cultural psychometric properties of the Dutch-MQoL for breast cancer patients.
26 patients were recruited at the Antwerp University Hospital. Eligible patients filled in the MQoL on different moments in time in order to evaluate clinimetric properties. To determine the validity; MQoL was correlated to the EORTC QLQ-C30. Internal consistency was analysed using Cronbach's and test-retest reliability was determined by ICC. For statistical responsiveness, S.E.M and MDC were calculated.
A strong correlation was found between the 'QoL score' of the MQoL and the domain 'existential well- being' of the EORTC QLQ-C30 (r = 0.72). An excellent test-retest reliability (ICC (1,1)) was demonstrated with intraclass coefficients ranging from 0.82 to 0.92. A MDC in total score of only 1.22 (12%) was seen, needed to detect a factual change within a patients' QoL. Psychometric properties of the Dutch MQoL were found comparable to the properties of the original questionnaire.
The Dutch version of the MQoL is a valid and reliable questionnaire for breast cancer patients and shows statistical responsiveness. Due to the strong to excellent reliability, this version of the MQoL is useful in clinical as well as scientific setting.
评估荷兰版乳腺癌患者生活质量问卷(Dutch-MQoL)的跨文化心理测量特性。
在安特卫普大学医院招募了26名患者。符合条件的患者在不同时间点填写MQoL,以评估其临床测量特性。为确定效度,将MQoL与欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织核心生活质量问卷(EORTC QLQ-C30)进行相关性分析。使用克朗巴哈系数分析内部一致性,并通过组内相关系数(ICC)确定重测信度。计算统计反应度、标准误(S.E.M)和最小可检测变化值(MDC)。
发现MQoL的“生活质量得分”与EORTC QLQ-C30的“生存质量”领域之间存在强相关性(r = 0.72)。重测信度极佳(ICC(1,1)),组内相关系数范围为0.82至0.92。在患者生活质量中检测实际变化所需的总分MDC仅为1.22(12%)。发现荷兰版MQoL的心理测量特性与原始问卷的特性相当。
荷兰版MQoL是一份适用于乳腺癌患者的有效且可靠的问卷,并显示出统计反应度。由于具有强至极佳的信度,该版MQoL在临床和科研环境中均有用。
