“…Many Turkish physicians are conducting research on LUTS and pelvic floor dysfunction and the impact of these symptoms on quality of life and sexual functions. Translated and validated questionnaires are needed for the evaluation of symptoms, quality of life, and response to treatment either in clinical practice or for research purposes 11 . This study showed that the Turkish translations of the four ICIQ modules were reliable and efficient for evaluating symptoms, quality of life, and sexual functions of Turkish women suffering from LUTS due to their low rate of missing data, adequate internal consistency, and good stability.…”

“…The main objectives of the questionnaires are to evaluate patients' symptoms and effects on quality of life and sexual functions, increase the awareness of their discomfort, and compare their conditions before and after treatment. ICIQ modules were found satisfactory in all these matters, which made them be translated and validated into many languages 8–11 …”

“…Köleli and Astepe 11 validated ICIQ‐VS into the Turkish language. In their study, two patients in the asymptomatic group and three patients in the symptomatic group hesitated to answer the questions about sexual functions until they were assured that their information would not be shared.…”

“…ICIQ modules have been developed as universally applicable questionnaires and evaluate different aspects of LUTS and effects on quality of life 7 . Usage of validated questionnaires in the native language is encouraged by the ICI and ICIQ modules have been translated into several languages for local use and found applicable in most of the cultures 8–11 . Recently, Köleli and Sarıibrahim Astepe have successfully validated the Turkish version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire‐vaginal symptoms (ICIQ‐VS) for assessment of vaginal symptoms, sexual matters, and quality of life of patients with pelvic organ prolapse 11 …”

Aims To enable the use of ICIQ‐FLUTS, ICIQ‐FLUTS‐long‐form (ICIQ‐FLUTS‐LF), ICIQ‐LUTS‐quality‐of‐life (ICIQ‐LUTSqol), and ICIQ‐FLUTS sexual functions (ICIQ‐FLUTSsex) in Turkish speaking women, questionnaires were translated into Turkish and validity, reliability, and sensitivity to change were evaluated in women suffering from urinary incontinence (UI). Materials and Methods Permissions were obtained from ICIQ Advisory Board, English versions of the questionnaires were initially translated into Turkish, then back‐translated into English and translations were modified according to recommendations of ICIQ Advisory Board. Pilot testing was performed in 10 women. Validity (content/face validity and discriminant validity), reliability (test‐retest reliability and internal consistency), and sensitivity to change were evaluated. Results A total of 58 women with UI completed ICIQ‐FLUTS, ICIQ‐LUTSqol, and the ICIQ‐FLUTS‐LF, and 37 who were sexually active completed ICIQ‐FLUTSsex. All women completed same questionnaires 15 days later. More than 90% of women thought that the questions were clear, unequivocal, and comprehensive. Missing data were less than 1% indicating adequate content/face validity. Cronbach's α coefficients were .933 (ICIQ‐FLUTS), .979 (ICIQ‐LUTSqol), .865 (ICIQ‐FLUTS‐LF), and .863 (ICIQ‐FLUTSsex), representing adequate internal consistency. Kappa values and intraclass correlation coefficient for individual items were over 0.70, indicating adequate test‐retest reliability. A total of 52 healthy volunteers completed ICIQ‐FLUTS and ICIQ‐FLUTS‐LF, 30 completed ICIQ‐LUTSqol, and 30 sexually active healthy volunteers completed ICIQ‐FLUTSsex. All four questionnaires had good discriminant validity. Twenty‐eight women with UI were analyzed 3 months after treatment. There was significant improvement in four questionnaires in correlation with pre‐ and posttreatment bladder diary results showing good sensitivity to change. Conclusion Turkish versions of four ICIQ modules were shown valid and reliable and can be used in Turkish speaking women in the evaluation of UI.

Introduction and hypothesis International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Vaginal Symptoms (ICIQ-VS) is a simple and effective questionnaire for evaluating vaginal symptoms, sexual problems and the quality of life (QOL) in patients. This study was aimed at validating the simplified Chinese version of the ICIQ-VS. Methods A total of 120 women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) stage <2, 124 with stage ≥ 2, and 51 patients who underwent POP surgery (POP stage ≥2) were included. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used for reliability analysis. We used the content validity index, Kruskal–Wallis H test, and Mann–Whitney U test to study validity. Paired sample t test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, effect size and standardized response mean were used to assess sensitivity. Results The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the vaginal symptoms score (VSS) and sexual matters score (SMS) were 0.787 and 0.861 respectively. The test–retest reliabilities of the VSS, SMS, and QOL score were 0.830, 0.894, and 0.948 respectively. The test–retest reliability was from good to excellent (ICC 0.669–0.948). The item-level content validity index was 0.60 to 1.00. The scale-level content validity index/universal agreement was 0.95, and the scale-level content validity index/average was 0.96. Significant score differences existed between the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups (p < 0.001). Criterion validity was significant (p < 0.001). VSS and QOL score had high sensitivity (p < 0.001, effect size and standardized response mean >0.8). Conclusions The simplified Chinese version of the ICIQ-VS can objectively and reliably access vaginal symptoms, sexual matters, and QOL in Chinese women.
