Abstract

The study aimed to create a Kazakh-language version of the P-QoL questionnaire based on relevant international requirements to determine its psychometric properties.

Materials and methods. The Kazakh-language version of the P-QoL questionnaire was tested to determine its reliability, validity and sensitivity. A total of 126 respondents participated in the study, of which 66 respondents with various stages of genital prolapse (the main group) and 60 respondents made up the control (asymptomatic) group. Spearman’s correlation analyzed the reliability of “test” and “retest”. The internal consistency between the questions was assessed based on the results of the calculation of the Kronbach-α coefficient. The threshold value > 0.7 is determined acceptable.

Results. The mean age was 56±6.01 years for the main group and 33±4.87 years for the control group. Cronbach’s α-coefficient exceeded 0.7 (range 0.77 – 0.97). The maximum significant correlations of reliability of “test” and “retest” (p < 0.001) were established.

Conclusion. Assessment of QoL in patients with POP is an important part of a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of the treatment. The results obtained using the validated Kazakh P-QoL questionnaire will allow obtaining a reliable analysis of the data, which will make it possible to individualize the treatment program taking into account the characteristics of the population.
