The overactive bladder quality of life short-form questionnaire (OAB-q SF) evaluates both symptom bother and health-related quality of life in patients with OAB, a highly prevalent disease. The objective of this study was to translate and validate a Dutch version of the OAB-q SF.
The translation into Dutch and validation process of the OAB-q SF was performed according to standardized guidelines. Patients with OAB who visited the department of Urology outpatient clinic completed the questionnaires OAB-q SF, European Quality of life 5-Dimension 5-Level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), Urogenital Distress Inventory 6 (UDI-6), and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) at baseline (test) and 2 weeks later (retest). A reference group from the department of Allergology outpatient clinic completed the same questionnaires once. The evaluated measurement properties included content validity, internal consistency, reproducibility, criterion validity, and construct validity.
Fifty-two patients were included in the study group and 51 references were included. The content validity was adequate and the internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's α > 0.80). The reproducibility was good with intraclass correlation coefficients higher than 0.70. Patient's OAB-q SF scores were moderately to strongly correlated with the UDI-6, ICIQ-OAB, and the EQ-5D-5L confirming the criterion validity. A good construct validity was demonstrated with significant higher scores of the OAB-q SF score in patients compared to references.
The Dutch OAB-q SF is a reliable and valid measure to evaluate symptom bother and health-related quality of life in patients with OAB.
膀胱过度活动症生活质量简表问卷（OAB-q SF）评估了 OAB 患者的症状困扰和健康相关生活质量，OAB 是一种高发疾病。本研究的目的是翻译和验证荷兰语版的 OAB-q SF。
根据标准化指南，对 OAB-q SF 进行了荷兰语翻译和验证。在泌尿科门诊就诊的 OAB 患者在基线（测试）和 2 周后（复测）完成 OAB-q SF、欧洲生活质量五维五等级问卷（EQ-5D-5L）、尿失禁困扰量表 6（UDI-6）和国际尿失禁咨询问卷-膀胱过度活动症（ICIQ-OAB）。过敏科门诊的参考组一次完成了相同的问卷。评估的测量特性包括内容效度、内部一致性、可重复性、标准效度和结构效度。
研究组纳入 52 例患者，对照组纳入 51 例。内容效度适中，内部一致性极好（Cronbach's α>0.80）。可重复性良好，组内相关系数高于 0.70。患者的 OAB-q SF 评分与 UDI-6、ICIQ-OAB 和 EQ-5D-5L 中度至高度相关，证实了标准效度。OAB-q SF 评分在患者中的得分显著高于对照组，表明结构效度良好。
荷兰语 OAB-q SF 是一种可靠且有效的工具，可用于评估 OAB 患者的症状困扰和健康相关生活质量。
