| Sumario: | Pelvic floor dysfunctions are a wide range of disorders in the gynaecological, lower urinary and gastrointestinal tracts that affect the structure and/or function of the pelvic organs. The objective of this study was to carry out a cross-cultural adaptation and a psychometric analysis of the Spanish version of the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire. Observational study divided into two main phases: (1) translation and cross-cultural adaptation and (2) psychometric tests. Women runners from all over the Spanish territory, from different federations, clubs and levels were recruited. Participants: 424 female runners, native Spanish, over 18 years of age and who had been practicing running for more than 6 months. The instruments used in this study were the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire, Female Sexual Function Index, King Health Questionnaire, Quality of Life SF-12 and EuroQoL 5-D. The Spanish version of Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire has proven to be an understandable and easy-to-use tool. The general internal consistency of the questionnaire was 0.972 and the intraclass correlation coefficient ranged between ICC 0.596-0.960. The Spanish version of Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire is a valid and reliable measure that can be used clinically to assess pelvic floor dysfunctions among the female Spanish population. |
