Validation of the French-Canadian Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire

Pelvic floor muscle training programme in pregnant Nepalese women—a feasibility study

“…The construct validity in the Nepali PGQ was acceptable and similar to previous studies (174,188,(225)(226)(227)(228)(229)(230). One fourth of the hypotheses were not confirmed.…”

“…These modifications were necessary for the PGQ to be applicable to the Nepali population while keeping the concept set forth in the English PGQ (166). As presented in Table 5, the acceptable reliability for the Nepali PGQ is comparable to other translated and validated PGQ studies of women with PGP (188,189,225,226). Furthermore, the Nepali PGQ showed moderate internal consistency, which is similar to the English, Iranian and Brazilian-Portuguese PGQ versions (174,188,189).…”

“…Furthermore, the Nepali PGQ showed moderate internal consistency, which is similar to the English, Iranian and Brazilian-Portuguese PGQ versions (174,188,189). The internal consistency was slightly higher in the Polish, French-Canadian, Spanish, Swedish and Japanese PGQ versions (224)(225)(226)(227)(228).…”

Iranian version of Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire: Psychometric properties and cultural adaptation

“…by assessing the psychometrics of the PGQ in French reported the ICC of 0.841, and in the evaluation of construct validity with Oswestry Disability Index, Spearman's correlation coefficient was 0.696. [18] Rejano-Campo et al . by evaluating the psychometric properties of the PGQ in Spanish showed that the correlation coefficient with Cronbach's alpha was 0.961 and the ICC was 0.962.…”

“…PGP is one of the world problems; therefore, validation of the questionnaire's equivalence in different countries is important and necessary so that the results of the studies can be compared in different languages. [18] Furthermore, the researchers recommend that in each culture, the questionnaire is adapted and its validity should be evaluated for the study of the measurement properties. [19]…”
