The urogenital distress inventory (UDI-6) is a simple questionnaire assessing quality of life (QoL) among patients with urinary incontinence. Despite widespread use in Israel, linguistic validation of this tool has not yet included examination of the psychometric characteristics of this instrument in the Hebrew language. The purpose of this study was to validate the psychometric characteristics of the UDI-6 in the Hebrew language.
A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to June 2016 using the recommended ratio of 10:1 between the number of subjects and the number of items in the questionnaire. A Hebrew version of the UDI-6 was given to a sample of 60 women with urinary incontinence. Internal consistency, validity, and test-retest reliability were evaluated.
UDI-6 showed internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.637. The kappa coefficient for test-retest reliability of the UDI-6 ranged from 0.845 to 0.606.
The Hebrew version of UDI-6 showed adequate reliability, consistency and validity for measuring symptoms and QoL in women with urinary incontinence.
泌尿生殖系统困扰量表（UDI - 6）是一种用于评估尿失禁患者生活质量（QoL）的简单问卷。尽管该量表在以色列广泛使用，但其语言验证尚未包括对希伯来语版本该工具心理测量特征的检验。本研究的目的是验证希伯来语版UDI - 6的心理测量特征。
2016年4月至6月进行了一项横断面研究，采用问卷中受试者数量与项目数量10:1的推荐比例。将希伯来语版UDI - 6发放给60名尿失禁女性样本。评估了内部一致性、效度和重测信度。
UDI - 6的Cronbach's α系数为0.637，显示出内部一致性。UDI - 6重测信度的kappa系数范围为0.845至0.606。
希伯来语版UDI - 6在测量尿失禁女性的症状和生活质量方面显示出足够的信度、一致性和效度。
