Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disorder causing non-scarring hair loss. AA impacts individuals' quality of life (QoL), affecting emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, and social interactions, and is associated with mental health issues like depression and anxiety. There is a lack of adequate, validated, disease-specific questionnaires to evaluate the quality of life in Polish-speaking patients with AA.
Formation and validation of the Polish version of the Alopecia Areata Quality of Life questionnaire (AA-QLI).
The original English version of the questionnaire was translated into Polish using a forward and backward translation process according to international standards. The validation was conducted on 21 patients suffering from AA, who completed the questionnaire twice with a 5-day interval. To assess internal consistency of the questionnaire the Cronbach α coefficient was used. The reliability of the Polish version of the questionnaire was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
The Polish version of the AA-QLI questionnaire demonstrated good internal consistency with Cronbach α coefficient of 0.86 for the first completion of the questionnaire. The ICC of 0.93 indicated very good reproducibility of this questionnaire.
The Polish version of the AA-QLI questionnaire showed high internal consistency and reliability, making it a suitable tool for assessing the health-related quality of life in Polish-speaking AA patients.
斑秃（AA）是一种导致非瘢痕性脱发的自身免疫性疾病。斑秃会影响个人的生活质量（QoL），影响情绪健康、自尊和社交互动，并与抑郁和焦虑等心理健康问题相关。目前缺乏足够的、经过验证的、针对特定疾病的问卷来评估波兰语斑秃患者的生活质量。
编制并验证波兰语版斑秃生活质量问卷（AA-QLI）。
根据国际标准，采用正向和反向翻译流程将问卷的原始英文版翻译成波兰语。对21名斑秃患者进行了验证，他们间隔5天完成两次问卷。使用Cronbach α系数评估问卷的内部一致性。使用组内相关系数（ICC）评估波兰语版问卷的信度。
波兰语版AA-QLI问卷首次完成时的Cronbach α系数为0.86，显示出良好的内部一致性。ICC为0.93表明该问卷具有非常好的可重复性。
波兰语版AA-QLI问卷显示出较高的内部一致性和信度，使其成为评估波兰语斑秃患者健康相关生活质量的合适工具。
