Abstract

Introduction: Lupus-PRO is a disease-specific quality of life (QoL) questionnaire designed for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although the Lupus-PRO questionnaire has been translated into Vietnamese, it has not yet been validated in Vietnamese patients. Objective: To evaluate the structural validity and reliability of the Vietnamese version of the Lupus-PRO questionnaire. Methods: This study was conducted on 91 SLE patients who were managed and monitored at the Lupus Management Unit, Outpatient Department, Bach Mai Hospital, from March 2021 to December 2021. Patients were interviewed about their QoL using the Vietnamese version of the Lupus-PRO questionnaire. Structural validity was assessed by comparing QoL scores among different patient groups. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Results: The Vietnamese version of the Lupus-PRO questionnaire demonstrated structural validity, as significant differences in QoL scores were observed among patients with different educational levels (p = 0.025) and comorbidities (p = 0.001). The questionnaire exhibited high reliability, with an overall Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.910. Conclusion: The Vietnamese version of the Lupus-PRO questionnaire meets the criteria for structural validity and internal reliability, making it suitable for assessing QoL in SLE patients.
