Abstract

BACKGROUND

Inquiring conservative Asian women about their menopausal symptoms is often challenging in crowded primary healthcare clinics. Furthermore, the subject matter is culturally sensitive to most Malaysian women. Hence, the translation of MQ6 into Malay is crucial to enable self-administration, eliminating the necessity for interviewers and mitigating potential respondent shyness.

METHODS

The Menopause Quick 6 (MQ6) questionnaire was translated into the Malay language with an addition of an item, henceforth termed MQ6 (M). Forward and backward translation was performed. Face and content validity were conducted. MQ6 (M) was self-administered to 400 women aged between 40 and 60 attending six primary healthcare clinics in Malaysia. To ascertain the reliability for MQ6 (M), corrected Item-Total Correlation, Squared Multiple Correlation, Cronbach's Alpha if the Item is Deleted, and Kuder-Richardson Reliability Coefficients (KR20). Exploratory factor analysis was done to determine its' construct validity.

RESULTS

The outcome of the validation was satisfactory. By the Lawshe method, the content validity ratios ranged from 0.6 to 1.0 and the content validity index was 0.914. The Internal consistency for MQ6(M) Cronbach's alpha was 0.711 while Kuder-Richardson Reliability Coefficients KR20 was 0.676. Factor loading of all four items is above 0.70, indicating a well-defined structure. Whereas factor loading for three items fell within the range of 0.50-0.69 indicating a practically significant threshold for a new questionnaire.

CONCLUSION

MQ6 (M) has acceptable reliability and construct validity to be considered as a self-administered screening tool in primary care clinics in Malaysia.

摘要

背景

在拥挤的初级保健诊所中询问保守的亚裔女性有关其更年期症状通常具有挑战性。此外，该主题对大多数马来西亚女性来说都是文化上敏感的。因此，将 MQ6 翻译成马来语对于实现自我管理至关重要，这可以消除对访谈者的需求，并减轻潜在受访者的害羞感。

方法

使用 MQ6 问卷（MQ6）对 400 名年龄在 40 至 60 岁之间的女性进行了自我评估，这些女性来自马来西亚的六个初级保健诊所。为了确定 MQ6（M）的可靠性，我们进行了校正项目-总分相关、平方多重相关、如果删除项目则删除项目的 Cronbach's Alpha 以及 Kuder-Richardson 可靠性系数（KR20）。进行探索性因素分析以确定其结构有效性。

结果

验证的结果令人满意。根据 Lawshe 方法，内容有效性比范围为 0.6 至 1.0，内容有效性指数为 0.914。MQ6（M）的内部一致性 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.711，而 Kuder-Richardson 可靠性系数 KR20 为 0.676。四项条目中的所有因子负荷均高于 0.70，表明结构明确。而三项条目的因子负荷在 0.50-0.69 之间，表明对于新问卷具有实际意义的阈值。
