To translate and perform cultural adaptation of the Pelvic Floor Dysfunction-SENTINEL (PFD-SENTINEL) screening tool into Turkish and to establish its reliability and validity for female athletes.
The study included 200 female athletes (mean age 22 ± 4 years). The translation of the PFD-SENTINEL, which comprised the symptoms related to PFD and item sections related to general risk factors and sports-related risk factors, was performed in accordance with international recommendations. The severity of PFD symptoms was assessed with the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20). Psychometric analyses consisted of assessing the following: internal consistency reliability using the Kuder-Richardson-20 (KR-20) coefficient, construct validity using confirmatory factor analysis, and criterion validity.
The reliability was acceptable for the PFD-SENTINEL items assessed using the KR-20, at 0.581, indicating moderate internal consistency. All fit indices except standardized root mean square residual indicated a perfect fit for the final models. Criterion validity was supported by positive correlations between the PFD-SENTINEL symptom score and the PFDI-20 score (r = 0.724, p < 0.001) and between the PFD-SENTINEL item score and the PFIQ-20 scores (r = 0.334; p < 0.001).
The Turkish version of the PFD-SENTINEL is a reliable and valid instrument to screen for PFD in female athletes.
将盆底功能障碍 - 哨兵（PFD - SENTINEL）筛查工具翻译成土耳其语并进行文化调适，以确定其在女性运动员中的可靠性和有效性。
该研究纳入了200名女性运动员（平均年龄22±4岁）。PFD - SENTINEL包括与盆底功能障碍相关的症状以及与一般风险因素和运动相关风险因素有关的项目部分，其翻译按照国际建议进行。使用盆底困扰量表 - 20（PFDI - 20）评估盆底功能障碍症状的严重程度。心理测量分析包括评估以下内容：使用库德 - 理查森 - 20（KR - 20）系数评估内部一致性可靠性，使用验证性因素分析评估结构效度以及评估效标效度。
使用KR - 20评估的PFD - SENTINEL项目的可靠性可以接受，为0.581，表明具有中等内部一致性。除标准化根均方残差外，所有拟合指数均表明最终模型拟合良好。PFD - SENTINEL症状评分与PFDI - 20评分之间（r = 0.724, p < 0.001）以及PFD - SENTINEL项目评分与PFIQ - 20评分之间（r = 0.334; p < 0.001）呈正相关，支持了效标效度。
PFD - SENTINEL土耳其语版本是一种用于筛查女性运动员盆底功能障碍的可靠且有效的工具。
