Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this study was to describe the development of the Danish version of the Groin Hernia-Q, a new patient-reported outcome measure for patients undergoing groin hernia repair, and to assess its face validity and acceptability.

Methods: The Groin Hernia-Q was adapted from the Abdominal Hernia-Q through an iterative process involving an expert committee and refinement interviews with patients with groin hernia. Interviews focused on the relevance, comprehensiveness and comprehensibility of questionnaire items. Following refinement, the Groin Hernia-Q was evaluated using the QQ-10 instrument in a cross-sectional patient survey. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise participant characteristics and QQ-10 scores.

Results: A total of 20 patients participated in refinement interviews, leading to the addition of new items, removal of items, clarifications of wording, improved lay understanding and structural adjustments. A total of 108 patients submitted complete survey responses. The mean QQ-10 "Value" sum score was 75.7% for the preoperative form and 80.7% for the post-operative form, both exceeding the predefined target of > 60%. "Burden" sum scores were 15.9% and 15.1%, respectively, below the maximum acceptable threshold of 40%. These results suggest that the Groin Hernia-Q has good face validity and acceptability.

Conclusion: The Danish version of the Groin Hernia-Q demonstrated high face validity and acceptability among patients with groin hernia.

Funding: None.

Trial registration: Not relevant.

丹麦版腹股沟疝- q的发展、面部有效性和可接受性。

简介：本研究的目的是描述丹麦版腹股沟疝- q的发展，这是一种新的患者报告的腹股沟疝修复患者的结果测量，并评估其面部有效性和可接受性。方法：腹股沟疝- q从腹股沟疝- q中改编，通过专家委员会的迭代过程和对腹股沟疝患者的改进访谈。访谈注重问卷项目的相关性、全面性和可理解性。改进后，在横断面患者调查中使用QQ-10仪器评估腹股沟疝- q。描述性统计用于总结参与者特征和QQ-10得分。结果：共有20例患者参加了精细化访谈，增加了新项目，删除了项目，澄清了措辞，提高了外行理解和结构调整。共有108名患者提交了完整的调查问卷。术前形态QQ-10“Value”总分均值为75.7%，术后形态QQ-10“Value”总分均值为80.7%，均超过预定目标bbb60 %。“负担”总和得分分别为15.9%和15.1%，低于最高可接受阈值40%。这些结果表明，腹股沟疝- q具有良好的面部效度和可接受性。结论：丹麦版腹股沟疝- q在腹股沟疝患者中具有较高的面部效度和可接受性。资金:没有。试验注册：不相关。
