Reliability and validity of the Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaireamong Turkish children
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
|January 8, 2018
Summary
The Turkish Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire (BBDQ) is a reliable tool for assessing pediatric patients. This validated instrument accurately measures bladder and bowel dysfunction in children.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Urology
- Clinical Psychology
- Health Sciences
Background:
- Bladder and bowel dysfunction (BBD) is a common issue in children.
- Validated questionnaires are essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
- A culturally appropriate assessment tool is needed for Turkish pediatric populations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a Turkish version of the Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire (BBDQ).
- To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish BBDQ in pediatric patients.
Main Methods:
- Translation and back-translation of the BBDQ into Turkish.
- Administration of the Turkish BBDQ and the Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Scoring System (DVISS) to 193 pediatric patients.
- Test-retest reliability assessment with 39 children over a 2-week interval.
Main Results:
- The Turkish BBDQ demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.727).
- Test-retest reliability was high (0.759, P < 0.001).
- The questionnaire showed significant differences between controls and patients, and moderate convergent validity with the DVISS (r: 0.78).
Conclusions:
- The Turkish version of the BBDQ is a reliable and valid instrument.
- It is suitable for use in clinical and research settings for Turkish pediatric patients with bladder and bowel dysfunction.

01:29Reliability and Validity
14.1K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

3.6K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...

Method validation is a crucial process in analytical chemistry designed to confirm that a given method consistently produces reliable and high-quality results. This process is essential when a method is applied to different sample matrices or when procedural modifications are made, ensuring that the results meet acceptable standards across various applications.
Key parameters for method validation include:

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
