Abstract
Objective To design and validate a condition-specific health-related quality of life questionnaire for the assessment of women with anal incontinence.
Design A psychometric study by postal survey.
Setting South Manchester University Hospital, UK.
Sample Two hundred and twenty women with known anal incontinence.
Method The questionnaire was adapted from the King's Health Questionnaire, a condition-specific health-related quality of life questionnaire for the assessment of women with urinary incontinence. The questionnaire was then tested for acceptability, reliability and validity by postal survey.
Results The Manchester Health Questionnaire was found to be highly acceptable to women and showed excellent internal consistency, test–retest reliability, criterion and construct validity.
Conclusion The questionnaire is both a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of health-related quality of life among women with anal incontinence. It will be useful in many different clinical settings and be of practical use in the evaluation of women after childbirth. As the good response rates show it could be a successful part of a postal survey.
目的设计并验证一份与健康相关的生活质量问卷，用于评估女性肛门失禁。设计采用邮寄调查的方法进行心理测量学研究。设置南曼彻斯特大学医院，英国。样本220名已知肛门失禁的女性。方法采用King's健康问卷(King's Health questionnaire)，这是一份评估女性尿失禁的健康相关生活质量问卷。通过邮寄调查对问卷的可接受性、信度和效度进行检验。结果曼彻斯特健康问卷具有较高的接受度，具有良好的内部一致性、重测信度、效度和结构效度。结论问卷是评估肛门失禁妇女健康相关生活质量的有效、可靠的工具。它将在许多不同的临床环境中有用，并在分娩后对妇女进行评估时具有实际用途。良好的回复率表明，这可能是一个成功的邮政调查的一部分。
