عنوان انگلیسی The Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of The Persian Version of The WERF EPHect Endometriosis Patient Questionnaire: A Cross-Sectional Study
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Background: The World Endometriosis Research Foundation (WERF) Endometriosis Phenome and Biobanking
Harmonisation Project (EPHect) aims to facilitate international research on endometriosis by developing
a standardized questionnaire. This study focuses on translating and validating the Persian version of the endometriosis
patient questionnaire (EPQ), ensuring cultural compatibility and reliability for future studies in
the region.

Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 37 women aged between 18 and 45 years who were
assessed for endometriosis through diagnostic sonography or laparoscopy, or were suffering from symptoms such
as dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pelvic pain not associated with menstruation lasting more than six months, were
evaluated. The evaluation took place from May 2021 to December 2023. The research methodology was structured
into two phases: translation and cross-cultural adaptation, followed by cross-cultural validation. The Persian version
of the WERF EPHect was translated and adapted in accordance with established guidelines. Content validity
was evaluated by six experts in the relevant fields, while face validity was assessed qualitatively by seven participants.
To determine the reliability of the final version of the Persian questionnaire, 30 patients diagnosed with
endometriosis completed it on two separate occasions that were two weeks apart, with the repeatability of each
question analyzed using Kappa statistics.

Results: The translated questionnaire was administered to 30 patients diagnosed with endometriosis, with an average
completion time of 55 minutes. Final modifications to the questionnaire were made to align with the Iranian
culture, incorporating feedback from specialists and study participants. Overall, the findings suggest that the Persian
version demonstrates both validity and reliability in medical and cultural aspects.

Conclusion: The recent study demonstrated that the Persian version of the WERF-EPHect questionnaire is both
valid and reliable, with cultural relevance. Additional validation studies conducted in various languages will help
eliminate language and cultural disparities, facilitating collaborative, large-scale, prospective international research
on endometriosis.
