Abstract

Introduction: 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.

Aim: Formation and validation of the Polish version of the Alopecia Areata Quality of Life questionnaire (AA-QLI).

Material and methods: 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).

Results: 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.

Conclusions: 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-生活质量问卷-波兰版的形成和验证。
简介:斑秃(AA)是一种自身免疫性疾病,引起非瘢痕性脱发。AA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有关。缺乏足够的、有效的、疾病特异性的问卷来评估波兰语AA患者的生活质量。目的:编制并验证波兰版斑秃患者生活质量问卷(AA-QLI)。材料和方法:根据国际标准,采用前向和后向翻译的方法,将问卷的英文原版翻译成波兰语。对21例AA患者进行验证,他们每5天完成两次问卷调查。采用Cronbach α系数评价问卷的内部一致性。波兰语版问卷的信度采用类内相关系数(ICC)进行评估。结果:波兰语版AA-QLI问卷具有良好的内部一致性,首次完成问卷的Cronbach α系数为0.86。0.93的ICC表明该问卷具有很好的再现性。结论:波兰语版AA- qli问卷具有较高的内部一致性和信度,是评估波兰语AA患者健康相关生活质量的合适工具。
