(O-04) Assessing patient satisfaction with penile implants: cultural adaptation and validation of the arabic version of the satisfaction survey for inflatable penile implant (SSIPI-AR) (oral)

Key Points

This study aimed to translate and validate the Satisfaction Survey for Inflatable Penile Implant (SSIPI) in Arabic.
Translated the SSIPI questionnaire into Arabic through a multistep process.
Conducted factor analysis to assess structural validity and computed Cronbach's alpha for reliability.
Evaluated test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
Collected responses from patients undergoing the inflatable penile prosthesis on two occasions.
The internal consistency of the Arabic version was high, with Cronbach's alpha at 0.897.
Construct validity was confirmed, showing good factor loading and communality values.
The overall ICC was 0.985, demonstrating excellent test-retest reliability.
The satisfaction rate among patients was 94.13%.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction and Objectives Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is the most preferred type of implants, since it can achieve a more natural erection for patients with refractory erectile dysfunction (ED). The outcome and success of IPP highly depends on subjective parameters and patient reported outcome (PRO). The 16-items questionnaire titled Satisfaction Survey for Inflatable Penile Implant (SSIPI) is a validated tool to assess satisfaction in these patients. This study aimed to translate and validate SSIPI into Arabic language. Methods Utilizing a multistep process, the English version of SSIPI was translated into Arabic by three urologists and one independent translator, and then back translated to English by different group of translators. Patients who underwent IPP completed the Arabic questionnaire on two occasions, 2 weeks apart. Factor Analysis with principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to assess the structure validity of the questionnaire. The reliability of the Arabic version was evaluated utilizing Cronbach's alpha test for internal consistency. Spearman's correlation coefficient was utilized to evaluate the domain structures and the inter-domain associations. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was computed to verify test–retest reliability. Results The mean age of participants was 57.5 years (±10.49). Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.897). Construct validity of the questionnaire was proved by none of the variables exhibiting low factor loading ( 0.3) or low communality ( 0.3). There were good correlations among items in each domain of the questionnaire. The overall ICC was 0.985 demonstrating an excellent test–retest reliability of the translated questionnaire. The satisfaction rate among patients who completed the questionnaire was 94.13%. Conclusion The Arabic version of SSIPI proved to be a reliable and valid tool to assess satisfaction of patients with IPP. This will aid in the evaluation of the outcome among Arabs accurately with the comfort of patients using their first language.
