The Portuguese versions of PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 exhibited strong reliability, with Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.853 and 0.937, respectively.
Criterion validity assessment established significant correlations between the instruments and five specific questions, reinforcing their effectiveness.
A cross-cultural translation method was employed, and psychometric properties were thoroughly evaluated in 287 women with pelvic floor dysfunction.
The adaptation indicates high internal consistency without observable Ceiling Effect, but a notable Floor Effect was present in both instruments.
