“…The mean MHC and PHC scores in the present study were higher than those of the original English validation study but lower than the Italian one [ 30 , 33 ]. Although the MS type was almost similar in both studies, the median EDSS score of the patients in the English study [ 33 ] was 6 which is much higher than our study (with median EDSS score of 1.5) and indicates a better physical condition of participants in the current study. Regarding the Italian study [ 30 ], the MS types and the EDSS scores were almost similar to our sample population.…”

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent neurological disease among young adults. Because of the chronic nature of this disease, it is important to assess quality of life in these patients. The Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life -29 (MSQOL-29) questionnaire which contains two main scales, Physical Health Composite (PHC) and Mental Health Composite (MHC), has been designed for this goal. The purpose of the present study is to translate and validate a Persian version of MSQOL-29 (P-MSQOL-29). Methods Using the forward–backward translation method, a panel of experts established the content validity of P-MSQOL-29. It was then administered to 100 patients with MS who also completed the Short Form-12 (SF-12) questionnaire. Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess the internal consistency of P-MSQOL-29. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to analyze the concurrent validity when correlating the items of P-MSQOL-29 to SF-12. Results Mean (Standard Deviation) of PHC and MHC for all patients was 51 (16.4), and 58 (23), respectively. Cronbach's alpha was 0.7 for PHC and 0.9 for MHC. Thirty patients completed the questionnaire again after 3–4 weeks, Intraclass Correlation Coeffiecient (ICC) was 0.80 for PHCs and 0.85 for MHCs (both P values < 0.01). A moderate to high correlation was detected between MHC/PHC and the corresponding scales of SF-12 (MHC with Mental Component Score: ρ = 0.55; PHC with Physical Component Score: ρ = 0.77; both P values < 0.01). Conclusion P-MSQOL-29 is a valid and reliable questionnaire and can be used for assessing quality of life in patients with MS.

“…Cronbach’s alpha was 0.7 for PHC and 0.9 for MHC, demonstrating an acceptable internal consistency (as a measure of reliability). In the validation study of original English MSQOL-29, Cronbach’s alpha for MHC was equal to the current study and it was 0.87 for PHC [ 33 ].…”

Background. Quality of life assessment of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is not commonly performed in the Slovak Republic due to the unavailability of a validated Slovak version of a specific assessment tool. Material and methods. The aim of this study was to transculturally adapt and validate the Slovak version of the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQoL-54). Psychometric analysis was performed by assessing reliability (Cronbach α), internal validation and external validation by measuring correlation with clinical factors such Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) as well as other demographic factors. The questionnaire was validated on a sample of 298 patients with MS.Results. Based on the results of the factor analysis, it can be concluded that the Slovak version of the MSQoL-54 questionnaire has comparable psychometric properties to the original version. External validation using EDSS showed a statistically significant inverse (negative) correlation on all components of the questionnaire.
