Diseño y validación de un cuestionario en castellano para medir calidad de vida en mujeres posmenopáusicas: el cuestionario MENCAV

Abstract

The MENCAV questionnaire is the first in Spanish which assesses quality of life in menopausal women. Experts analysed its logical validity and contents validity and found it had a high degree of internal consistency.

Predictive and criterion validity of the Cervantes-SF menopause quality of life questionnaire

“…A number of other scales and instruments have been used to measure the impact of peri/postmenopausal symptoms on women's HRQoL 31 . These include the questionnaire, originally developed in Spanish, known as the Menopause and Quality of Life Scale 32 along with other menopause-related questionnaires that have been developed internationally, such as the Menopause Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire, 33 the Greene Climacteric Scale, 34 the Woman's Health Questionnaire, 35 or the Menopause Rating Scale 36 . And whilst some of these instruments have been adapted to Spanish, none have shown the properties of criterion or predictive validity evaluated in our research.…”
