The purpose of this study was to develop a Persian version of ECOS-16 Questionnaire and assess its reliability and validity. Two hundred and twenty women with postmenopausal osteoporosis were included in the study. Patients who were diagnosed as secondary osteoporosis by clinical and laboratory examinations were excluded. For reliability, an internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) of ECOS-16 total score was calculated. The age of the study participants ranged from 50 to 75 years old (59.9 ± 7). Cronbach's alpha of the Persian version of the ECOS-16 was 0.84. Therefore, the Persian version of the ECOS-16 is a reliable and valid questionnaire to be used in the evaluation of quality of life in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
本研究旨在开发一种波斯语版 ECOS-16 问卷,并评估其信度和效度。研究纳入了 220 例绝经后骨质疏松症女性患者。排除经临床和实验室检查诊断为继发性骨质疏松症的患者。为了评估信度,计算了 ECOS-16 总分的内部一致性(克朗巴赫 α 系数)。研究参与者的年龄为 50-75 岁(59.9±7)。ECOS-16 波斯语版的克朗巴赫 α 系数为 0.84。因此,ECOS-16 波斯语版是一种可靠且有效的问卷,可用于评估绝经后骨质疏松症女性的生活质量。
