女性の問題とてんかんに関する知識改訂版ii質問票（rKOWIE）の妥当性確認：過去と現在の視点の橋渡し

Over the past 20 years, the Knowledge of Women's Issues in Epilepsy questionnaire II (KOWIE II) has been used globally to evaluate practitioner awareness of issues associated with female patients with epilepsy. Given recent advances, incorporating new data and current guidelines into a knowledge assessment questionnaire is warranted. The purpose of this study is to update and revise the original KOWIE II questionnaire and confirm content validity.

Following a literature review to define constructs associated with women with epilepsy (WWE), an updated version of the original KOWIE II questionnaire was developed. The 13-item revised KOWIE (rKOWIE) II questionnaire was distributed electronically to subject matter experts who were asked to critically review and rate the items on a Likert scale. Experts were also encouraged to provide qualitative feedback via a free-text field to inform refinement of item content and wording.

Nine experts completed the rKOWIE II validity inquiry for the final questionnaire content. The overall CVI-S was 0.97, with all items scoring CVI-I > 0.80.

Content validity was confirmed for all items of the rKOWIE II. The updated version can be used in clinical research and as an educational tool for healthcare providers. By strengthening provider knowledge and practice, the questionnaire has the potential to positively influence health outcomes among care partners and women with epilepsy.
