ORIGINAL ARTICLE The Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12): validation of the Dutch version

Objectives and hypothesis To establish the reliability and va-lidity of the Dutch version of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/ Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) in women with pelvic floor dysfunction. Methods The PISQ-12 was translated into Dutch following a standardized translation process. A group of 124 women in-volved in a heterosexual relationship who had had symptoms of urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence and/or pelvic or-gan prolapse 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, reproduc-ibility, construct validity, responsiveness, and interpretability. An alteration was made to item 12 and was corrected for during the analysis
