Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an effective treatment for chronic respiratory failure (CRF). Patient-centered outcomes need to be evaluated regularly and the S-NIV questionnaire seems an applicable tool. We translated this short, self-administered questionnaire into a Dutch version and tested its construct validity and reliability.
An observational study was conducted, including 127 stable long-term NIV users with CRF or complex sleep related breathing disorders due to different underlying diseases: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (25%), slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders (35%), rapidly progressive neuromuscular disorders (12%) and 'other disorders' (28%) including complex sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome. Construct validity and reliability were tested.
The Dutch version of the questionnaire was obtained after a translation and back-translation process. Internal consistency of the total score was good (Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.78) as well as for the 'respiratory symptoms' subdomain and the 'sleep and side effects' subdomain (Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.78 and 0.69, respectively). The reproducibility was excellent with an intraclass correlation of 0.89 (95% CI 0.87-0.93). Construct validity was good for the 'respiratory symptoms' subdomain.
The Dutch S-NIV questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool to evaluate symptoms, sleep, and NIV related side effects in long-term NIV users.
无创通气(NIV)是治疗慢性呼吸衰竭(CRF)的有效方法。需要定期评估以患者为中心的结局,而 S-NIV 问卷似乎是一种适用的工具。我们将这个简短的自我管理问卷翻译成荷兰语版本,并测试其结构有效性和可靠性。
进行了一项观察性研究,包括 127 名稳定的长期 NIV 使用者,患有 CRF 或因不同潜在疾病引起的复杂睡眠相关呼吸障碍:慢性阻塞性肺疾病(25%)、进展缓慢的神经肌肉疾病(35%)、进展迅速的神经肌肉疾病(12%)和“其他疾病”(28%),包括复杂睡眠呼吸暂停和肥胖低通气综合征。测试了结构有效性和可靠性。
经过翻译和回译过程,获得了问卷的荷兰语版本。总分的内部一致性良好(Cronbach's α 系数为 0.78),“呼吸症状”子域和“睡眠和副作用”子域的内部一致性也很好(Cronbach's α 系数分别为 0.78 和 0.69)。可重复性极好,组内相关系数为 0.89(95%CI 0.87-0.93)。“呼吸症状”子域的结构有效性良好。
荷兰语版 S-NIV 问卷是一种可靠且有效的工具,可用于评估长期使用 NIV 的患者的症状、睡眠和与 NIV 相关的副作用。
