This study aimed to translate and validate the P-QOL questionnaire in the Malay language.
The P-QOL questionnaire was translated into the Malay language and subsequently back-translated to English. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency were tested. All patients who visited the gynecology outpatient clinic of UKMMC, UMMC and IIUM between January 2016 and May 2017 completed the P-QOL questionnaires and were assessed for POP-Q staging.
One hundred twenty patients with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse and 180 asymptomatic patients were included. The Cronbach's alpha for each domain was > 0.70, which confirmed that there was a highly acceptable internal consistency. The value varied between 0.88 (role limitation) and 0.912 (sleep/energy). Test-retest reliability showed a significant correlation between the total scores for each domain (p < 0.001). There was a significant correlation between P-QOL domain scores and vaginal examination findings (POP-Q). With a higher POP-Q stage, a higher impact on the quality of life was detected in symptomatic patients. The total scores from all domains were significantly higher in symptomatic patients.
The Malay translated version of the P-QOL questionnaire is a reliable, consistent, and valid instrument for assessing the severity of the symptoms and impact on the quality of life among women with uterovaginal prolapse. It is easily understood, administered, and self-completed by patients.
本研究旨在将 P-QOL 问卷翻译成马来语并进行验证。
P-QOL 问卷被翻译成马来语，然后再被回译为英语。测试-重测信度和内部一致性进行了测试。所有于 2016 年 1 月至 2017 年 5 月期间访问 UKMMC、UMMC 和 IIUM 妇科门诊的有症状盆腔器官脱垂患者和 180 名无症状患者都完成了 P-QOL 问卷，并进行了 POP-Q 分期评估。
共有 120 名有症状的盆腔器官脱垂患者和 180 名无症状患者被纳入研究。每个领域的 Cronbach's alpha 均大于 0.70，这证实了高度可接受的内部一致性。数值在 0.88（角色限制）到 0.912（睡眠/能量）之间变化。测试-重测信度显示各领域总分之间存在显著相关性（p<0.001）。P-QOL 领域评分与阴道检查结果（POP-Q）之间存在显著相关性。在有症状的患者中，POP-Q 分期越高，对生活质量的影响越大。所有领域的总分在有症状的患者中显著更高。
马来语翻译版的 P-QOL 问卷是一种可靠、一致和有效的工具，可用于评估有子宫阴道脱垂的女性症状的严重程度及其对生活质量的影响。它易于理解、管理和由患者自行完成。
