Spanish Questionnaires for the Assessment of Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions in Women: A Systematic Review of the Structural Characteristics and Psychometric Properties. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021 Dec 6;18(23):12858http://hdl.handle.net/10668/4060Background: Pelvic floor dysfunctions affect a third of the adult female population, including a large number of clinical conditions, which can be evaluated through validated questionnaires that inform us of the status and perception of women both objectively and subjectively. The main objective of this study was to review and explain the topics of the validated questionnaires in Spanish on pelvic floor dysfunctions and to review their psychometric properties. Methods: A systematic review was carried out in the PUBMED and WOS databases. The keywords used were in PUBMED: ((((((((“Fecal Incontinence” [Mesh]) OR “Urinary Incontinence” [Mesh]) OR “Pelvic Organ Prolapse” [Mesh]) OR “Pelvic Floor Disorders” [Mesh]) OR “Sexual Dysfunction, Physiological” [Mesh]) OR “Pelvic Girdle Pain” [Mesh]) OR “sexual function” [Title/Abstract]) OR “Prolapse” [Title/Abstract]) AND “Surveys and Questionnaires” [Mesh] AND “Validation” [Title/Abstract] combined with the Boolean operators “AND”/“OR”. In contrast, in WOS, a segregated search was carried out with each of the terms of pelvic floor dysfunction together with “Validation” and “Surveys and Questionnaires”. All articles published up to 19 November 2021 were considered. Methodological quality was assessed with the COSMIN scale. Results: A total of 687 articles were identified, of which 13 were included. The evaluated questionnaires and the structural characteristics and psychometric properties of each of them were collected. Conclusion: The Spanish versions of the questionnaires show good basic structural and psychometric characteristics for the evaluation of patients with pelvic floor dysfunctions and that they resemble other versions of the same questionnaire published in other languages.enAtribución 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Pelvic floor dysfunctionsSexual dysfunctionUrinary incontinenceProlapseValidationQuestionnaireSpanishDiafragma pélvicoDisfunciones sexualesIncontinencia urinariaProlapsoEncuestas y cuestionariosEspañaMedical Subject Headings::Persons::Persons::Age Groups::AdultMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavioral Disciplines and Activities::Psychological Tests::PsychometricsQuality of LifeSurveys and QuestionnairesMedical Subject Headings::Information Science::Information Science::Communication::LanguageMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Body Regions::Torso::Pelvis::Pelvic FloorMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Female Urogenital Diseases and Pregnancy Complications::Female Urogenital Diseases::Pelvic Floor DisordersMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Digestive System Diseases::Gastrointestinal Diseases::Intestinal Diseases::Rectal Diseases::Fecal IncontinenceMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Signs and Symptoms::Pain::Pelvic Pain::Pelvic Girdle PainMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Equipment and Supplies::Surgical Equipment::Surgical MeshMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Signs and Symptoms::Urological Manifestations::Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms::Urinary IncontinenceMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathological Conditions, Anatomical::Prolapse::Pelvic Organ ProlapseMedical Subject Headings::Information Science::Information Science::Data Collection::QuestionnairesMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Psychological Phenomena and Processes::Mental Processes::PerceptionMedical Subject Headings::Information Science::Information Science::Information Storage and Retrieval::Databases as Topic::Databases, Bibliographic::PubMedreview article34886580open access10.3390/ijerph1823128581660-4601PMC8657821
