The Quality of Life Profile for spinal deformities (QLPSD) was developed to evaluate the quality of life of patients with scoliosis and other spinal deformities. The purpose of the study was to systematically translate the QLPSD into Turkish and examine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version. This methodological study was conducted with 125 participants with idiopathic scoliosis. After the translation of the QLPSD into Turkish systematically, all participants answered the Turkish version of the QLPSD (T-QLPSD) and Scoliosis Research Society-22 items (SRS-22) questionnaires. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's α statistics were used to test the reliability of the tools: convergent and construct validity of the tools was assessed using exploratory factor analysis and Pearson's correlation analysis. One hundred twenty-five participants were included in the study. The mean age of them was 13.7 ± 2.2 years. For the T-QLPSD total score, Cronbach's α was 0.91, and the ICC was 0.94. A very good correlation was found between T-QLPSD and SRS-22 total scores (r = -0.71). Participants with mild scoliosis reported less back pain (P = .038), better back flexibility (P=.001), and body image (P=.044) compared to moderate scoliosis. The T-QLPSD was found to be a reliable and valid scale for assessing quality of life in idiopathic scoliotic patients in Türkiye.
脊柱畸形生活质量简表（QLPSD）是为评估脊柱侧凸和其他脊柱畸形患者的生活质量而开发的。本研究的目的是系统地将 QLPSD 翻译成土耳其语，并检验其信度和效度。这是一项采用方法学的研究，共纳入了 125 例特发性脊柱侧凸患者。在系统地将 QLPSD 翻译成土耳其语后，所有参与者都回答了土耳其版 QLPSD（T-QLPSD）和脊柱侧凸研究学会 22 项问卷（SRS-22）。采用组内相关系数（ICC）和克朗巴赫α系数评估工具的信度：采用探索性因子分析和 Pearson 相关分析评估工具的聚合效度和结构效度。本研究共纳入了 125 例参与者，平均年龄为 13.7±2.2 岁。对于 T-QLPSD 总分，克朗巴赫α系数为 0.91，ICC 为 0.94。T-QLPSD 与 SRS-22 总分之间存在非常好的相关性（r=-0.71）。与中度脊柱侧凸患者相比，轻度脊柱侧凸患者报告的背痛更少（P=0.038）、背部灵活性更好（P=0.001）、身体形象更佳（P=0.044）。T-QLPSD 是一种可靠且有效的评估土耳其特发性脊柱侧凸患者生活质量的量表。
