Abstract

Introduction: Gastrointestinal-specific anxiety (GSA) is considered as an important factor in the course of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). GSA may be evaluated by the visceral sensitivity index (VSI).

Aim: To translate original English version of the VSI into Ukrainian language (VSI-UA) and then to test its validity and reliability in patients with IBS.

Material and methods: 108 patients of both sexes, aged 18-44 years, with IBS were assessed by the VSI-UA, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale: depression (HADS-Dep) and anxiety (HADS-Anx). Reliability was checked by Cronbach's α and test-retest method with calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Content validity was assessed by calculation of the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI). The construct validity was assessed by estimating Pearson`s correlation between VSI-UA, PHQ-9, BDI, HADS-Anx, and HADS-Dep.

Results: Cronbach's α for VSI-UA was 0.84; the ICC between the first measurement and the one repeated 4 weeks after administration of VSI-UA was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.87-0.95). The calculated CVR for each item of the VSI-UA was higher than the critical value of 0.56, and the CVI was 0.94. A moderate positive correlation was found between VSI-UA and PHQ-9 (r = 0.65), BDI (r = 0.69), HADS-Anx (r = 0.61), and HADS-Dep (r = 0.48); p < 0.05 in all correlations.

Conclusions: VSI-UA is a reliable and valid tool for the assessment of GSA in Ukrainian-language patients with IBS, and it could be implemented in routine clinical practice to manage patients with IBS.

肠易激综合征患者内脏敏感性指数乌克兰版本的翻译和验证。

引言：胃肠道特异性焦虑（GSA）被认为是肠易激综合征（IBS）过程中的一个重要因素。GSA可以通过内脏敏感性指数（VSI）来评估。目的：将VSI的英文原版翻译成乌克兰语（VSI-UA），并测试其在IBS患者中的有效性和可靠性。材料和方法：采用VSI-UA、患者健康问卷-9（PHQ-9）、Beck抑郁量表（BDI）和医院焦虑抑郁量表：抑郁（HADS-Dep）和焦虑（HADS-Anx）对108名18-44岁的IBS患者进行评估。采用Cronbachα和重测法，计算组内相关系数（ICC），对信度进行检验。内容有效性通过计算内容有效性比率（CVR）和内容有效性指数（CVI）来评估。通过估计VSI-UA、PHQ-9、BDI、HADS-Anx和HADS-Dep之间的Pearson相关性来评估结构的有效性。结果：VSI-UA的Cronbachα为0.84；VSI-UA给药4周后第一次测量和重复测量之间的ICC为0.92（95%CI:0.87-0.95）。VSI-UA各项目的计算CVR高于临界值0.56，CVI为0.94。VSI-UA与PHQ-9（r=0.65）、BDI（r=0.69）、HADS-Anx（r=0.61）和HADS-Dep（r=0.48）呈中度正相关；所有相关系数均<0.05。结论：VSI-UA是评估乌克兰语IBS患者GSA的可靠有效工具，可在常规临床实践中用于管理IBS患者。
