About this study

Official title: 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.

Read the 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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Questionnaire administration pre testOther

    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.

  • Questionnaire administration validation and reliabilityOther

    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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

SF-Qualiveen score (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
