To validate the Russian version of the Carolinas Comfort Scale CCS.
Translation of the original CCS questionnaire into Russian was carried out in accordance with the WHO recommendations. The Russian-language version of this questionnaire was present to 253 patients who underwent hernia repair with mesh for various abdominal wall hernias upon discharge and 4 weeks later.
The study included 222 patients who completed all stages of survey. The response rate was 87.7%, mean age — 58.6±13.3 years, Cronbach’s α — 0.957 (high internal consistency). In test-retest analysis, correlation coefficients between two time points ranged from 0.204 to 0.669 and were significant for all CCS questions in overall patient population. When assessing convergent validity, we found significant negative correlation from –0.160 to –0.363 (p<0.001) between total CCS score and domains of the Russian version of the SF-36 except for the domains of role functioning and role emotional functioning. Discriminant analysis showed that CCS scores for all items in 11 out of 222 participants (4.95%) who were dissatisfied with treatment outcomes were significantly higher compared to satisfied patients (p<0.0001).
The presented Russian version of the Carolina Comfort Scale is a valid tool for assessing various physical aspects of the quality of life after hernia repair with mesh. This scale may be recommended for clinical practice and researches.
