“…The reliabilty and validaty study revealed that the Persian version of Qualiveen had a very good internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha coefficient greater than 0.80 for the Qualiveen and all of its domains. In this study, ICCs for test‐retest reliability were greater than 0.90, indicating an excellent test‐retest reliability for the Persian version of Qualiveen‐30, which is higher than all other published studies . Convergent validity was measured as the correlation of Qualiveen with ICIQ‐UI SF.…”

“…The Quliveen was originally designed and used in western countries 13 but it is not extensively used in eastern cultures. 19,20 In particular, people from Middle Eastern countries have diverse beliefs regarding urinary problems, which root from their religious perspectives. Due to cultural and linguistic differences, a rigorous translation procedure is essential to develop a healthrelated QoL questionnaire that is well applicable in a population with a different culture, beliefs, religion and language.…”

“…15 Although the Qualiveen questionnaire was developed for French-speaking SCI patients, 13 it was quickly translated and validated in English, 16 Spanish, 17 Portuguese, 2 German, 18 Turkish 19 and Arabic. 20 Because of the similarity of urinary problems in patients with SCI and MS, the Qualiveen questionnaire was validated and used for patients with MS, as well. 16,17,19 In this study, the French version of Qualiveen was translated to Persian and validated to use in Persianspeaking patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.…”

“…6,7 The Qualiveen 8 and its short form (SF-Qualiveen) 9 are the most widely used and well-known questionnaires recommended for evaluating the urinary-specific quality of life of patients with MS. The Qualiveen was developed and validated in French 8 with subsequent successful cross-cultural adaptations into Arabic, 10 English, 11 German, 12 Italian, 13 Portuguese, 14 Spanish, 15 and Turkish. 16 To date, the SF-Qualiveen has been adapted into French, English, 17 and Dutch for patients with MS. 18 Currently, however, no translated, adapted, and validated measure is available in Polish language to evaluate the urinary-specific quality of life in patients with NLUTD.…”

Aims No specific questionnaire to date has been available in Polish for evaluating health‐related quality of life for urinary dysfunctions associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate Polish versions of the Qualiveen and SF‐Qualiveen for use in patients with MS. Methods Cross‐cultural adaptation of the original English Qualiveen and SF‐Qualiveen into Polish was performed according to international recommended and standard procedures. Adult patients with MS of the Department of Urology at the Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland, completed the Qualiveen, SF‐Qualiveen, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire‐Short Form (ICIQ‐SF) twice: at baseline and 2 weeks later. Results One hundred eighty‐nine Polish‐speaking patients with MS completed the questionnaires. An intercorrelation study revealed that internal consistency was good for the total Qualiveen and SF‐Qualiveen (Cronbach's α >0.8). Test‐retest reliability (reproducibility) demonstrated strong stability (intraclass correlation coefficient >0.8). Content validities were optimal. Significant relationships between the Qualiveen and the ICIQ‐SF, as well as the SF‐Qualiveen and the ICIQ‐SF, confirmed good construct/criterion validity. Conclusion The Polish Qualiveen and SF‐Qualiveen are reliable, valid, and consistent measures of urinary disorder‐specific quality of life in patients with MS. After years of no appropriate Polish instrument being available for healthcare professionals to evaluate patients with MS, we provide these versions and recommend their use in research and clinical practice in Poland.

Background The Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score—Short Form (NBSS‐SF) evaluates the impact of disease‐specific symptoms on the quality of life (QoL) in individuals with neurogenic bladder (NB). There is no data on the validity and reliability of the NBSS‐SF questionnaire in the Arabic language, so this study aimed at providing the translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Arabic NBSS‐SF in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods The original English language version of the NBSS‐SF was translated into Arabic according to the cultural and linguistic adaptation algorithm. People with SCI and MS completed the NBSS‐SF, demographic and clinical information, and Qualiveen QoL questionnaire. Responses were recorded twice within a 14‐day period. Psychometric properties such as content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability were tested. Internal consistency and test–retest reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. Construct validity was assessed by comparing the NBSS‐SF with the Qualiveen questionnaire. Results Thirty‐nine patients with MS and 97 with SCI participated in the study. The internal consistency for the overall NBSS‐SF score (Cronbach's α of 0.82) and for each subdomain was variable (urinary incontinence 0.82; storage/voiding 0.73; consequences 0.53). ICC was 0.93 for the overall score and 0.96 for the urinary incontinence subdomain, 0.74 for storage/voiding, and 0.91 for consequences. The correlation analysis showed a significantly strong correlation between the QoL item of NBSS‐SF and the Qualiveen total score (r = 0.72, p < 0.000). There was a significant moderate positive correlation between the total scores on the Arabic version of the NBSS‐SF and the subdomains of the Qualiveen, including limitations (r = 0.51, p = 0.04), fears (r = 0.57, p = 0.04), feelings (r = 0.46, p = 0.01), and constraints (r = 0.59, p = 0.03). Conclusions Our results showed that the Arabic version of NBSS‐SF is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction symptoms in the Arabic population suffering from SCI and MS.
