Abstract

The authors developed a new disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure to capture the multifaceted impacts of vestibular schwannoma on daily life, the Vestibular Schwannoma Quality of Life (VSQOL) Index, which contains 40 items grouped into eight categories: hearing problems; dizziness and imbalance; pain, discomfort, and tinnitus; problems with face or eyes; impact on physical, emotional, and social well-being; difficulty with thinking and memory; satisfaction or regret; and impact on employment.1 The VSQOL Index was developed in English, although the availability of this instrument in other languages can improve access to quality of life (QOL) research worldwide with enhanced racial, ethnic, and geographic representation. The authors partnered with FACITtrans, a component of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) group with more than 25 years of experience in translation, cultural adaptation, and linguistic validation of patient-reported outcome measures, to translate the VSQOL Index to Simplified Chinese using a rigorous translation methodology.2-5 The translation of the VSQOL Index presented at the end of this article may be used for noncommercial research, clinical, or educational purposes without seeking written permission from the authors. By providing a suite of translations in this digital supplement of the Journal of Neurosurgery, the authors hope to increase the reach and breadth of QOL research and facilitate international collaborations.

作者开发了一种新的疾病特异性患者报告的结果测量方法,以捕捉前庭神经鞘瘤对日常生活的多方面影响,前庭神经鞘瘤生活质量指数(VSQOL),它包含40个项目,分为8类:听力问题;头晕和不平衡;疼痛、不适和耳鸣;面部或眼睛的问题;对身体、情感和社会福祉的影响;思考和记忆困难;满意或遗憾;以及对就业的影响vqol指数是用英语开发的,尽管该工具的其他语言版本可以改善全球生活质量(QOL)研究的获取,并增强了种族、民族和地理代表性。作者与FACITtrans合作,FACITtrans是慢性疾病治疗功能评估(FACIT)小组的一个组成部分,在翻译,文化适应和患者报告结果测量的语言验证方面拥有超过25年的经验,使用严格的翻译方法将VSQOL指数翻译成简体中文。2-5本文末尾提供的VSQOL索引翻译可用于非商业研究,临床或教育目的,无需征求作者的书面许可。通过在《神经外科杂志》的数字增刊中提供一套翻译,作者希望增加生活质量研究的范围和广度,促进国际合作。
