OBJECTIVES AND HYPOTHESIS: To establish the reliability and validity of the Dutch version of the @entity3577 /Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) in @entity1 with @entity3087 . METHODS: The PISQ-12 was translated into Dutch following a standardized translation process. A group of 124 @entity1 involved in a heterosexual relationship who had had symptoms of @entity322 , @entity3577 for at least 3  months were eligible for inclusion. A reference group was used for assessment of discriminative ability. Data were analyzed for internal consistency, reproducibility, construct validity, responsiveness, and interpretability. An alteration was made to item 12 and was corrected for during the analysis. RESULTS: The @entity1 group comprised 70 of the 124 eligible @entity1 , and the reference group comprised 208 @entity1 from a panel representative of the Dutch female population. The Dutch PISQ-12 showed an adequate internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.57  -  0.69, increasing with correction for item 12 to 0.69 - 0.75, for the reference and @entity1 group, respectively. Scores in the @entity1 group were lower (32.6        6.9) than in the reference group (36.3        4.8; p   =   0.0001), indicating a lower sexual function in the @entity1 group and good discriminative ability. Reproducibility was excellent with an intraclass correlation coefficient for agreement of 0.93 (0.88  -  0.96). A positive correlation was found with the Short Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12) measure representing good criterion validity. Due to the small number of @entity1 who had received treatment at the 6-month follow-up, no significant responsiveness could be established. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the Dutch version of the PISQ-12 has good validity and reliability. The PISQ-12 will enable Dutch physicians to evaluate @entity250 in @entity1 with @entity3087 .
