Abstract

Purpose: Urolithiasis significantly affects patient quality of life, yet the global standard of care predominantly focuses on achieving a stone free status, often ignoring patient reported outcomes. Currently, there are no specific measures available to assess the quality of life in the Polish population suffering from kidney stones. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate the Polish version of the Wisconsin Stone Quality of Life Questionnaire.

Methods: The translation of WISQOL was carried out in accordance with the best available guidelines. Patients treated for kidney stones at a tertiary centre were recruited and completed both POL-WISQOL and SF36 questionnaires. Comprehensive analyses were conducted to assess internal consistency, inter-item and inter-domain correlations, as well as convergent and construct validity. Additionally, test-retest reliability was evaluated to ensure the accuracy and stability of the findings.

Results: A total of 102 participants fully completed both questionnaires and were included in the analysis. The translated survey demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's coefficient 0.967) and significant convergent validity (Spearman's correlation = 0.847, p < 0.001). Furthermore, an ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc analysis revealed a significant decline in WISQOL scores between symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, thereby confirming tool's construct validity.

Conclusion: POL-WISQoL turned out to be a valid disease specific health related quality of life measuring tool. Its widespread utilisation has the potential to shift the standard of care towards patient centered outcomes.

威斯康星州结石生活质量问卷（POL-WISQoL）的波兰验证。

目的：泌尿系结石严重影响患者的生活质量，然而全球护理标准主要侧重于实现无结石状态，往往忽视了患者报告的结果。目前，还没有专门的方法来评估波兰肾结石患者的生活质量。因此，本研究旨在开发和验证波兰语版的威斯康星结石生活质量问卷：方法：WISQOL 的翻译是根据现有的最佳指南进行的。我们招募了在一家三级医院接受肾结石治疗的患者，他们填写了 POL-WISQOL 和 SF36 问卷。对问卷进行了综合分析，以评估内部一致性、项目间和领域间相关性，以及聚合效度和建构效度。此外，还评估了重复测试的可靠性，以确保研究结果的准确性和稳定性：共有 102 名参与者完整填写了两份问卷，并纳入了分析。翻译后的调查表显示出良好的内部一致性（克朗巴赫系数 0.967）和显著的聚合效度（斯皮尔曼相关性 = 0.847，p 结论：POL-WISQoL 结果表明，POL-WISQoL 具有良好的内部一致性（克朗巴赫系数 0.967）和显著的聚合效度：POL-WISQoL 是一种有效的疾病相关健康生活质量测量工具。它的广泛使用有可能将护理标准转向以患者为中心的结果。

期刊介绍： The WORLD JOURNAL OF UROLOGY conveys regularly the essential results of urological research and their practical and clinical relevance to a broad audience of urologists in research and clinical practice. In order to guarantee a balanced program, articles are published to reflect the developments in all fields of urology on an internationally advanced level. Each issue treats a main topic in review articles of invited international experts. Free papers are unrelated articles to the main topic.
