title: Validation of the Chinese version of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire short form (PISQ-12).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To validate the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire short form (PISQ-12) in a Chinese population.
  
  
  METHODS
  The PISQ-12 was translated into Chinese; 106 women with pelvic floor disorders then completed the questionnaire and the 12-item short-form health survey (SF-12). The reliability and validity of the PISQ-12 were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The PISQ-12 had an adequate and high internal consistency (Cronbach α=0.725) and a high test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient coefficient=0.745; P<0.01). Scoring of the PISQ-12 was positively correlated with that of the SF-12 (P<0.01). Factor analysis showed strong construct validity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The Chinese version of the PISQ-12 has a high reliability and validity in the Chinese population and, therefore, is highly recommended for clinical treatment and research.
