Translation and Validation of the Turkish Version of the ObsQoR-10 Questionnaire (ObsQoR-10T)

Konya Meram State Hospital100 enrolled

Overview

The quality of recovery scoring tools for the obstetric patient population is limited. In 2019, Ciechanowicz et al. developed and validated a postpartum recovery score; the ObsQoR-11; used following elective and non-elective cesarean delivery. The ObsQoR-11 was modified to the ObsQoR-10 by Sultan et al. and used spontaneous and operative vaginal delivery based on patient feedback. There is currently only a Hebrew version of this recovery score. ObsQoR has not yet been validated for use in Turkish, which is one of the most spoken languages in the World. Therefore the investigators aimed to psychometrically evaluate (assess validity, reliability, and clinical feasibility) the Turkish translated version of the ObsQoR-10 PROM in a Turkish cohort of women.

Primary Outcomes

Validity of Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 Turkish (ObsQoR-10T) questionnaire

Evaluate the validity of the Turkish version of the ObsQoR-10 to assess immediate postpartum recovery following vaginal delivery or Caesarean section.The ObsQoR-10 based on patient feedback regarding the 0-10 scoring for "negative symptoms" such as pain, nausea and vomiting and dizziness (found in questions 1-4 of ObsQoR- 10) and "positive" symptoms such as comfort and feeling in control (found in questions 5-10 of ObsQoR-10). Overall higher recovery scores indicate better recovery.
