dc.description.abstractAim: The aim of this study was to assess reliability and validity of the Menopause-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire-Intervention (MENQOL-I) Methods: The study sample consists of 320 women who attended to clinics of three hospitals in Antakya in 2008. Patients filled the MENQOL-I and the Turkish version of World Health Organization-Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF-TR) questionnaires in addition to demographic questions. Results: Among respondents, 19.4% were illiterate, 94.4% were married and 70.9% were housewife. Mean age was 50.5 +/- 4.9, mean marital age was 19.2 +/- 2.1 and mean pregnancy number was 4.5 +/- 2.1. With regard to reliability analysis, overall Chronbach alpha value was 0.91. Overall mean score of the MENQOL-I was 4.2 +/- 1.0. In terms of item statistics, Chronbach alpha varied between 0.90 and 0.92 if item deleted. Correlations among the domains of MENQOL-I were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Three domains of the MENQO-I were significantly and negatively correlated with the some domains of WHOQOL-BREF-TR (p < 0.05). Sexual domain of MENQOL-I did not have correlation with WHOQOL-BREF-TR. Conclusion: The MENQOL-I has reliable and valid psychometric properties, and it can be used to evaluate the quality of life in Turkish women in menopausal period.en_US
