Abstract
Objective: Hemorrhoidal disease, which affects nearly 40% of people, is characterized by pathological alterations and distal displacement of hemorrhoidal tissue. The short health scale (SHSHD) and the hemorrhoidal disease symptom score (HDSS) are two tools that can be utilized to assess the quality of life of hemorrhoidal patients. The present study aims to translate, modify, and validate the HDSS and SHSHD questionnaires in Indonesian.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed the validity and reliability of the HDSS and SHSHD Indonesian adaptation instrument in hemorrhoidal patients from April 15, 2022, and April 1, 2023.
Results: There were 91 study subjects, 55 males and 36 females. The study showed that the subscale interpretations of the R-values and the full scale scored above 0.25, indicating weak to very strong correlations. These results mean that the HDSS and SHSHD questionnaires are valid for use. Based on the study’s results, the R-value of each item, domain, and total score ≥0.8 (p< 0.05) indicates that the HDSS and SHSHD instruments are reliable.
Conclusion: The Indonesian adaptation of the HDSS and SHSHD demonstrates validity and reliability as an assessment tool for measuring the healthrelated quality of life in Indonesian patients diagnosed with hemorrhoidal disease.
