Wisconsin Stone Quality of Life (WISQOL) has been designed specifically for patients with kidney stones. The present study aimed to develop the Chinese version of WISQOL and reach its validation.
The WISQOL was translated into Chinese following a standard procedure. Kidney stone patients admitted for surgical treatment were enrolled and fulfilled both WISQOL and SF-36 on the admission day and at one month postoperatively. The internal consistency, inter-domain correlation and convergent validity were analyzed.
One hundred twenty-four 124 males and 76 females were enrolled. The total WISQOL Score and SF-36 had significant correlation both preoperatively (r=0.772, P<0.01) and postoperatively (r=0.639, P<0.01). The internal consistency of the Chinese version WISQOL's different domains ranged from 0.766 to 0.959. The value of Spearman rank correlation to assess the convergent validity of different domains ranged from 0.444 to 0.687. The postoperative WISQOL raised about 20% showing a better quality of life.
The Chinese version of WISQOL questionnaire was a reliable tool to evaluate the health quality of life in Chinese-speaker patients with kidney stones. To evaluate its test-retest reliability, reliability and validity in a longer term, further studies are required.
威斯康星结石生活质量（WISQOL）专为肾结石患者设计。本研究旨在开发中文版 WISQOL 并对其进行验证。
按照标准程序将 WISQOL 翻译成中文。纳入接受手术治疗的肾结石患者，并在入院当天和术后 1 个月填写 WISQOL 和 SF-36。分析内部一致性、域间相关性和收敛效度。
共纳入 124 名男性和 76 名女性。术前和术后总 WISQOL 评分和 SF-36 均有显著相关性（r=0.772，P<0.01；r=0.639，P<0.01）。中文版 WISQOL 不同领域的内部一致性范围为 0.766 至 0.959。评估不同领域收敛效度的 Spearman 秩相关值范围为 0.444 至 0.687。术后 WISQOL 提高了约 20%，生活质量更好。
中文版 WISQOL 问卷是评估中国肾结石患者健康生活质量的可靠工具。为了评估其在更长时间内的重测信度、信度和效度，需要进一步研究。
