目标。目的：设计并评估夜尿症患者生活质量（QOL）问卷的心理测量特性。夜尿症生活质量问卷（N-QOL）是通过对夜尿症患者进行焦点小组访谈而制定的。为了进一步完善问卷，并从心理测量学上验证问卷，107名夜尿症患者（来自英国四家泌尿科诊所）完成了N-QOL试点，并对健康状况和睡眠质量进行了测量。为了评估可重复性，来自一个诊所的男性在1周后再次完成了试验性N-QOL。经过标准项目缩减分析，从试点问卷中删除了18个项目。其余13项量表的心理测量特性按照标准进行测试。因子分析确定了两个子量表，睡眠/能量和烦恼/关注，负荷为0.5或更高。N-QOL总分和亚量表证明具有内部一致性（alpha = 0.84 ~ 0.90）和可重复性（类内相关系数= 0.74 ~ 0.82）。N-QOL评分与睡眠质量相关(P
Objectives. To develop and assess the psychometric properties of a short self-report nocturia-specific Quality-of-Life (QOL) questionnaire.Methods. The Nocturia Quality-of-Life questionnaire (N-QOL) was developed using focus group interviews with men experiencing nocturia. To refine it further and psychometrically validate the questionnaire, 107 men with nocturia (from four urology clinics in the United Kingdom) completed the pilot N-QOL, along with measures of health status and sleep quality. To assess reproducibility, men from one clinic completed the pilot N-QOL again at 1 week.Results. After standard item reduction analyses, 18 items were dropped from the pilot questionnaire. The psychometric properties of the remaining 13-item instrument were tested in accordance with standard criteria. Factor analysis identified two subscales, sleep/energy and bother/concern, loading at 0.5 and greater. The N-QOL overall score and subscales proved to be internally consistent (alpha = 0.84 to 0.90) and reproducible (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.74 to 0.82). N-QOL scores correlated with sleep quality (P
