Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of Indonesian Version of Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire: An Interviewer-Administered Female Pelvic Floor Questionnaire.

AIM: To adapt and determine the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (APFQ).

METHODS

The original APFQ was translated and validated to obtain an Indonesian, physician-administered version on 41 urogynecology patients and 41 age-matched women without pelvic floor dysfunction.

RESULTS

Missing answers never exceeded 2%. The questionnaire can significantly discriminate between pelvic floor dysfunction patients and those without dysfunctions. The results of each domain of the questionnaire correlated with clinical examinations and another questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha scores of all domains were 0.859 for bladder function, 0.829 for bowel function, 0.892 for prolapse symptoms, and 0.766 for sexual function.

CONCLUSION

The Indonesian version of the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (APFQ) is a valid and reliable questionnaire for assessing pelvic floor symptoms among women in Indonesia.
