Women's Health Questionnaire

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Portuguese version of the Women's Health Questionnaire. METHODS: In order to evaluate the Women's Health Questionnaire (WHQ), an analytical cross-sectional study was carried out at the women's menopause outpatient clinic of a university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. There were studied 87 women in perimenopause or menopause, defined as experiencing at least one year's absence of menstrual flow. The following variables were collected: demographic data, clinical variables (Kupperman index and correlate numeric scale) and quality of life indexes (SF-36 and utility). RESULTS: The WHQ proved to be a questionnaire easily translated into Portuguese and well-adjusted to Brazilian women. The internal consistency of the overall WHQ was excellent (Cronbach alpha =0.83; 95% CI: 0.71-0.91). Test-retest reliability was also excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]=0.92; 95% IC: 0.86-0.96) and had good absolute agreement (0.84; 95% CI: 0.71-0.92). A satisfactory clinical validity was observed. The construct validity was corroborated by clear associations with others scales. A good index of responsiveness after the intervention was reached. CONCLUSIONS: The Portuguese version of the WHQ is of easy and fast administration and understanding. Its measuring properties were related, allowing its use in the evaluation of Brazilian climacteric women's quality of life for various purposes.

St George's Respiratory Questionnaire

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the disease as the highest contributor to the disease burden in Indonesia. Tuberculosis can affect the patients’ quality of life, such as psychological, physical, and social functioning. St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) is a special instrument which was widely used to measure the patients’ quality of life with respiratory disease. The objective of this study was to validate the Indonesian version of the SGRQ as instrument to collect data. A descriptive cross section design with 61 subjects was conducted at the Pulmonary Clinics and Primary Health Centers in the region of Yogyakarta within 3 months. The validation process included the known group validity, convergent and discriminant validity and factor analysis. There were 14 items question numbers which did not meet the criteria for convergent validity and 9 items which did not meet the criteria for discriminant validity. Known group validity analysis on gender showed that of the three domains of SGRQ, the activity domain gave statistically significant result. The factor analysis showed the result of Kaiser Meyer Olkin analysis (KMO) was less than 0.5. With a few modifications, the Indonesian version of SGRQ is valid and reliable for measuring quality of life in tuberculosis patients.

Women's Health Questionnaire

Este estudo investigou a relação de duas variáveis contextuais (a relação conjugal e o stress) com a experiência de menopausa em 224 mulheres de meia-idade, casadas. As mulheres responderam à Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Quality of Relationship Inventory, Women’s Health Questionnaire, Index of Sexual Satisfaction e Life Events Questionnaire for Middle-Aged Women. A qualidade conjugal, a satisfação conjugal e o stress permitiram prever a sintomatologia menopáusica. As mulheres com casamentos insatisfatórios, caracterizados por menos suporte social, menor profundidade e maior conflito, referiram um aumento de stress e mais sintomatologia menopáusica do que as mulheres com casamentos satisfatórios. A satisfação sexual está positivamente relacionada com a satisfação conjugal. Não se encontraram diferenças devidas ao estatuto de menopausa. Estes resultados sugerem que quando as mulheres atravessam a transição da menopausa, as variáveis relacionais podem ultrapassar em importância o estatuto de menopausa.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v19i1/2.399
