Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

The aim of this study was to validate the Thai version of the Prolapse Quality of Life (P-QOL) questionnaire.

Methods

The P-QOL questionnaire was translated into Thai. Test–retest reliability and internal consistency were tested. All patients who visit the gynecologic outpatient clinic of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital between March 2008 and September 2009 completed the P-QOL questionnaires.

Results

One hundred fifteen patients with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse and 60 asymptomatic patients were included. There was a significant correlation between P-QOL domain scores and vaginal examination findings (POP-Q stage). A higher POP-Q stage and a higher impact on quality of life were detected in symptomatic patients. The total scores from all domains were significantly higher in symptomatic patients.

Conclusion

The Thai version of the P-QOL questionnaire is a valid, reliable, and simple instrument to assess the symptoms’ severity and the quality of life in Thai-speaking patients with pelvic organ prolapse.
