Adaptation of the 10-Item Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire to Iranian XXXX with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

@entity1 @entity27 @entity25
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Farsi version of 10-item Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ-10) in Iranian @entity1 with @entity27 ( @entity27 ). METHODS: The FOSQ-10 was translated into Farsi using the standard forward-backward method. One hundred @entity1 who fulfilled the inclusion criteria completed a series of questionnaires including IR-FOSQ-10, Medical Outcome Survey Short Form 12 (SF-12) and @entity25 ( @entity25 ). Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, discriminant validity and responsiveness of IR-FOSQ-10 were investigated. RESULTS: The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.85 in IR-FOSQ-10 total score and ranged from 0.78 to 0.83 in each subscale. The test-retest reliability demonstrated by intraclass coefficient was 0.92. There were significant moderate-to-good negative correlations between IR-FOSQ-10 subscales and @entity25 except for sexual relationship subscale. FOSQ-10 subscales generally correlated higher with related subscales of SF-12. The IR-FOSQ-10 was able to distinguish @entity1 with @entity25 score from those with normal sleepiness score. The results of sensitivity to change proved that the IR-FOSQ-10 was able to detect changes after continuous positive airway pressure therapy. CONCLUSION: The psychometric properties of the IR-FOSQ-10 suggest that it is a reliable and valid measure among Iranian @entity1 with @entity27 .
