Cultural Adaptation, Reliability and Validity of The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire in Pregnant Women
Abstract
Objectives: The aims of this study were to translate the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire(PGQ) to Turkish and to assess its test-retest reliability and validity in pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty-five pregnant with pelvic girdle pain were recruited in the study. Visual analog scale was used to evaluate pain intensity, PGQ for condition-specific health related quality of life, Nottingham Health Profile for health related quality of life, Oswestry Disability Index for disability level, The guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation in PGQ was used.
Results: A total of 135 pregnant with a mean age of the 30±4.77 years included in the study. Interclass correlation coefficient score for test-retest reliability was 0.972 (95% CI= 0.968-0.977) for PGQ activity subscale, 0.910 (95% CI=0.905-0.915) for PGQ symptom subscale and 0.979 (95% CI= 0.975-0.983) for PGQ total.
Conclusion: The study demonstrated that Turkish version of PGQ is a valid and reliable tool for measuring both disability and symptom and good psychometric properties in Turkish speaking pregnants with pelvic girdle pain.
