Is the Korean version of the KDQOL-SF a reliable and valid instrument for measuring quality of life in Korean patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis?
The Korean version of the KDQOL-SF is a reliable and valid tool for assessing health-related quality of life in Korean patients undergoing dialysis.
Park et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in End stage renal disease on dialysis (n=164). Korean version of KDQOL-SFTM 1.3 was evaluated on Test-retest reliability (ICC) and internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α). The Korean version of the KDQOL-SFTM demonstrated high test-retest reliability and internal consistency, establishing its validity for assessing health-related quality of life in Korean dialysis patients.
