Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis: We aimed to translate and validate the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Nocturia (ICIQ-N) and Nocturia Quality of Life (ICIQ-Nqol) into Persian by assessing the validity and reliability of the translated versions.

Methods: The English versions of the ICIQ-N and ICIQ-Nqol were translated into Persian using a forward-backward translation method. Content validity was assessed quantitatively using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) by ten urologists. Construct validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on data from 208 female patients with at least one lower urinary tract symptom. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha, and test-retest reliability was assessed over a 14-day interval using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

Result: The Persian translations demonstrated high content validity, with all items achieving acceptable CVI and CVR values. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a single dominant component for both questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha for the ICIQ-N was 0.888 and for the ICIQ-Nqol was 0.986, indicating excellent internal consistency. Test-retest reliability was also high, with ICC values of 0.869 (95% CI 0.817-0.905) for the ICIQ-N and 0.974 (95% CI 0.968-0.979) for the ICIQ-Nqol.

Conclusion: The Persian ICIQ Nocturia and Nocturia Quality of Life were valid and efficiently adapted for use in various settings.

波斯语ICIQ夜尿和夜尿生活质量的翻译与验证。

前言和假设：我们旨在通过评估翻译版本的效度和信度，将国际尿失禁问卷（ICIQ-N）和夜尿症生活质量（ICIQ-Nqol）翻译成波斯语并进行验证。方法：将英文版本的ICIQ-N和ICIQ-Nqol采用正反译法翻译成波斯语。10名泌尿科医师采用内容效度指数（CVI）和内容效度比（CVR）对内容效度进行定量评估。采用探索性因素分析（EFA）对208例至少有一种下尿路症状的女性患者的资料进行结构效度评估。采用Cronbach's alpha确定内部一致性，采用类内相关系数（ICC）评估14天间隔内的重测信度。结果：波斯语译文具有较高的内容效度，所有条目均达到可接受的CVI和CVR值。探索性因子分析显示，两份问卷都有单一的主导成分。ICIQ-N的Cronbach’s alpha为0.888，ICIQ-Nqol的Cronbach’s alpha为0.986，内部一致性较好。重测信度也很高，ICIQ-N的ICC值为0.869 (95% CI 0.817-0.905)， ICIQ-Nqol的ICC值为0.974 （95% CI 0.968-0.979）。结论：波斯语ICIQ夜尿和夜尿生活质量是有效和有效的，适用于各种环境。

期刊介绍： The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
