RESUMO
Objective To research the reliability and validity of the N-QOL Chinese version system.Methods A total of 260 nocturia patients were surveyed by the Chinese version of N-QOL and the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of N-QOL were assessed.Results Cronbach's α of the total questionnaire and two dimensions were 0.899,0.672 and 0.799,respectively.The split-half reliability was 0.828 and re-test reliability was 0.796.The correlation coefficients of scores of the items with its subordinate dimensionality were 0.595～0.854,and those with the total scores were 0.578～0.754.Two common factors were found through exploratory factor analysis,which explained the percent of 57.20％ rotation sums of squared loadings.Conclusions The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of N-QOL were good,so it could be used to evaluate the life quality of nocturia patients.
