Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to translate the Global Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire (GPFBQ) into Turkish and to assess its validity and reliability. METHODS: The Turkish adaptation of the GPFBQ was created by following the stages of the intercultural adaptation process. A test-retest interval of 1 week was used to assess the reliability, which was examined by the intraclass correlation coefficient. The validity of the GPFBQ was assessed and compared with the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) and the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7) using Spearman's rank correlation coefficients. For construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was performed. RESULTS: A total of 131 women, whose mean age was 46.83 years, were included in the study. The test-retest reliability of the GPFBQ was excellent (0.998, p < 0.0001). The GPFBQ correlated significantly with the PFDI-20 (r = 0.860, p = 0.00) and PFIQ-7 (r = 0.802, p = 0.00). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to determine construct validity, and it was found that it had four dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish version of the GPFBQ is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the symptoms of bother and severity in Turkish-speaking women with pelvic floor dysfunction.
