SF-QUALIVEEN Turkish Validity and Reliability Study

June 14, 2021 updated by: Uğur OVACIK, Istanbul Aydın University

SF-QUALIVEEN Turkish Cultural Adaptation, Validity and Reliability Study

Urological dysfunction is common in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and its prevalence has been reported at a high rate of 32-97%. Bladder dysfunction is associated with a significant deterioration in the quality of life of people with MS. In chronic diseases such as MS, patients experiences need to be measured directly in order to have information about patients perceptions about the effect of the disease on quality of life. However, there are a small number of valid and reliable Turkish scales on this subject.SF-Qualiveen is a validated scale for patients with MS who assess the urinary-specific quality of life by examining the impact of a wide range of bladder problems.The aim of our study is to make the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the SF-Qualiveen scale.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to reveal the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the SF-Qualiveen scale. In our study, Sf-Qualiveen and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) scales will be used. Pre-testing will be done in 10 patients with multiple sclerosis.Then, the validity and reliability of the scale will be performed in 80 patients with multiple sclerosis.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. age 18-65;
  2. definitive diagnosis of MS according to McDonald criteria;
  3. ability to read and write in Turkish.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
pre-test Group
10 people with multiple sclerosis. The eligibility criteria were: (1) age 18-65; (2) definitive diagnosis of MS according to McDonald criteria; (3) ability to read and write in Turkish. The exclusion criteria are: (1) acute attacks of MS (within 3 months); (2) cognitive impairment (Mini Mental test result 24 points and below); (3) any chronic disease other than MS; (4) active malignant tumors; (5) symptomatic urinary tract infections; (6) patients who changed treatment within the test-retest period.
Other: Questionnaire administration pre test
After the translation and cultural adaptation of the SF-Qualiveen scale is completed, face-to-face pre-test will be performed on 10 patients with multiple sclerosis.
Validation and Reliability Group
80 people with multiple sclerosis. The eligibility criteria were: (1) age 18-65; (2) definitive diagnosis of MS according to McDonald criteria; (3) ability to read and write in Turkish. The exclusion criteria are: (1) acute attacks of MS (within 3 months); (2) cognitive impairment (Mini Mental test result 24 points and below); (3) any chronic disease other than MS; (4) active malignant tumors; (5) symptomatic urinary tract infections; (6) patients who changed treatment within the test-retest period.
Other: Questionnaire administration validation and reliability
After the pre-test is completed, if necessary, arrangements will be made, and then the validity and reliability of SF-Qualiveen will be made in 80 individuals with Multiple Sclerosis.First of all, participants will be asked to complete two questionnaires (SF-Qualiveen and Urinary Distress Inventory). Two weeks after this assessment, they will be asked to respond to SF-Qualiveen again.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SF-Qualiveen score
Time Frame: Baseline
To evaluate the impact of urological problems on quality of life
Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6)
