The Quality of Life Profile for Spinal Deformities (QLPSD) is the first specific questionnaire to evaluate health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) in adolescents with spinal deformities. Measuring HRQoL is important because spinal deformities and their management may negatively affect quality of life (QoL), thereby importantly affecting treatment effectiveness.
This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of a Persian version of the QLPSD through patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and Scheuermann's kyphosis.
A cross-sectional design was used to determine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the QLPSD based on the IQOLA protocols.
The QLPSD was successfully culturally adapted, showing acceptable internal consistency (cronbach's α= 0.88) and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC = 0.91). Concurrent validity was supported by comparing scores on corresponding dimensions of the Persian versions of QLPSD and the Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r) questionnaires (function, pain, and body-image). Discriminant validity was supported though observation of significant differences between participants who had different clinical characteristics (p< 0.05).
The Persian QLPSD is valid and reliably measures QoL among adolescents with spinal deformities; it may be used in clinical evaluations and future research.
脊柱畸形生活质量量表（QLPSD）是首个用于评估青少年脊柱畸形患者健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）的特定问卷。测量HRQoL很重要，因为脊柱畸形及其治疗可能会对生活质量（QoL）产生负面影响，从而对治疗效果产生重要影响。
本研究旨在通过青少年特发性脊柱侧凸和休门氏驼背患者检验波斯语版QLPSD的有效性和可靠性。
采用横断面设计，根据IQOLA方案确定波斯语版QLPSD的有效性和可靠性。
QLPSD成功实现文化调适，显示出可接受的内部一致性（克朗巴哈α系数=0.88）和组内相关系数（ICC=0.91）。通过比较波斯语版QLPSD和脊柱侧凸研究学会-22r（SRS-22r）问卷相应维度（功能、疼痛和身体形象）的得分，支持了同时效度。通过观察具有不同临床特征的参与者之间的显著差异（p<0.05），支持了区分效度。
波斯语版QLPSD有效且可靠地测量了脊柱畸形青少年的生活质量；它可用于临床评估和未来研究。
