Brief summary
PRAFAB assesses both the objective and subjective aspects of urinary incontinence. While differing from other questionnaires in this respect, it consists of only five questions. Today, there is a need for multidimensional and easy-to-use scales that can assess the effects of incontinence on quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the PRAFAB questionnaire in women with urinary incontinence.
Detailed description
PRAFAB assesses both the objective and subjective aspects of urinary incontinence. While differing from other questionnaires in this respect, it consists of only five questions. Today, there is a need for multidimensional and easy-to-use scales that can assess the effects of incontinence on quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the PRAFAB questionnaire in women with urinary incontinence. In this context, the study consists of two phases. In the first phase, the PRAFAB questionnaire was translated into Turkish and culturally adapted; in the second phase, the validity and reliability analyses of the Turkish version of the PRAFAB questionnaire (PRAFAB-Turkish) were conducted. The study will be conducted by Afyonkarahisar University of Health Sciences. Participants consisted of women who presented as outpatients at the AFSU Health Application and Research Center Urology Clinic and were diagnosed with urinary incontinence by a urologist.
