Translation and Validation of the Premenstrual Assessment Form-Short Form Questionnaire in Hungarian.

Introduction: Premenstrual symptoms, including premenstrual syndrome and its more severe form premenstrual dysphoric disorder, are a set of somatic and psychological symptoms that occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Our research aimed to adapt the Hungarian version of the Premenstrual Assessment Form-Short Form (PAF-SF), a questionnaire suitable for assessing premenstrual symptoms, and to examine its reliability, validity, and applicability. Methods: The questionnaire was validated according to Beaton's six-step guidelines. Our sample consisted of 198 menstruating women, 50 of whom completed the instrument for a second time to assess reliability. Descriptive statistics were calculated presenting mean (standard deviation), the internal consistency was measured by Cronbach's alpha value, the test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients, Spearman rank correlation was applied to test the criterion validity of the questionnaire, and discriminant validity was examined using the independent-sample t test using IBM SPSS 28.0 software. The structural validity was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using IBM AMOS 29.0 software. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Our sample (average age 25.37 ± 4.80 years) scored 28.08 ± 9.49 points out of the maximum 60 points when filling out the PAF-SF questionnaire. The result of Cronbach's alpha calculation, which supports the reliability of the questionnaire, was 0.845. During the CFA, the three-factor structure (Affect, Water Retention, and Pain) was supported (root mean-square error approximation [RMSEA] = 0.054; Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.965; Comparative Fit Index = 0.976; χ2 = 48.642; df = 31; p = 0.023; χ2/df = 1.569). Discussion: The PAF-SF questionnaire proved to be a reliable measuring tool for assessing premenstrual symptoms among women of reproductive age.

Multicomponent Exercise Intervention for Preventing Falls and Improving Physical Functioning in Older Nursing Home Residents: A Single-Blinded Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial.

Background: Older nursing home residents are at a greater risk of falling due to frailty. Exercise is effective at hampering frailty and related adverse events, including falls. Objectives: Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of a 12-week moderate-intensity multicomponent exercise programme on the number of falls and physical functioning among older nursing home residents. Also, we examined the association between the number of falls and demographics as well as physical and cognitive baseline data. Methods: The study protocol was registered on clinicaltrials.gov with the following identifier: NCT05835297. Older adults aged 65 years and over were recruited from a nursing home, and eligible and consenting residents were randomly allocated to two parallel groups: the intervention group, which performed a multicomponent exercise programme composed of strength, balance, and aerobic training (n = 12), and the control group, which received usual care (n = 12). Outcomes included falls, and measures of strength, balance, and mobility. Results: We had high adherence to exercise sessions, and no adverse events were recorded. We observed a non-significant reduction in falls (p = 0.34) and a significant improvement in Short Physical Performance Battery (p = 0.003) after the exercise programme. Falls were associated with being female and having diminished physical or cognitive function. Conclusions: Multicomponent exercise programmes should be implemented regularly in nursing homes for their effectiveness. Future studies with bigger samples, including participants with worse physical and cognitive impairments, as well as follow-up periods are required.

Validation of the Hungarian version of the Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ).

Objective: The Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ) is a self-administered, reliable and valid instrument which assess knowledge regarding urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. There is no validated Hungarian version of this questionnaire; therefore the aim of this study was to develop a reliable, valid and culturally sensitive Hungarian version of the PIKQ. Study design: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to October 2022 with a sample of 459 women. The PIKQ, which consists of the urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse scales, was translated into Hungarian in accordance with international guidelines. The validity and reliability of the final version of the Hungarian PIKQ was evaluated using construct validity, comparison with known-groups, internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results: Regarding construct validity, all fit indices were found acceptable. Healthcare workers had significantly higher knowledge about urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (p < 0.001) compared to women who had not worked in a medical field. The Hungarian PIKQ had an adequate internal consistency with Cronbach alpha of 0.785 for the urinary incontinence scale and 0.826 for the pelvic organ prolapse scale. The correlation coeffcients between the test and retest was 0.931 for the urinary incontinence scale and 0.964 for the pelvic organ prolapse scale. Conclusion: The Hungarian version of the PIKQ is a reliable and valid tool to measure the level of knowledge about urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse among Hungarian speaking women.

Effect of Resistance Exercise on Body Composition and Functional Capacity in Older Women with Sarcopenic Obesity-A Systematic Review with Narrative Synthesis.

BACKGROUND: Resistance exercise has shown effectiveness in reducing various risk factors related to sarcopenic obesity (SO) compared to other types of exercise, e.g., aerobic exercise. OBJECTIVE: This systematic review evaluates the effect of resistance exercise on body composition, muscular strength, and functional capacity among older women with sarcopenic obesity aged ≥ 60 years. METHODS: This systematic review is registered on PROSPERO (registration No. CRD42023394603) and follows the PRISMA guidelines. The following electronic databases were used to search the literature: Pedro, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science. We included only RCTs that investigated the effect of resistance exercise on body composition and functional capacity. Two independent reviewers conducted the process of study selection and data extraction. RESULTS: The search strategy retrieved 687 results. One hundred and twenty-six records were deleted as duplicates. Consequently, 534 studies were excluded after the title/abstract assessment. After further detailed evaluation of twenty-seven full texts, seven RCTs were included; all the RCTs examined the isolated effect of resistance exercise in women with sarcopenic obesity. The included studies comprised 306 participants, with an average age of 64 to 72 years. We noticed a trend of improvement in the included studies among the intervention groups compared to the control groups among the different outcomes. The study protocol was inconsistent for the intervention settings, duration, and outcomes. Including a modest number of trials made it impossible to perform data meta-analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Heterogeneity among studies regarding training protocols and the outcome measures reported limited robust conclusions. Still, resistance exercise intervention can improve body composition and functional capacity among elderly women with sarcopenic obesity.

Effectiveness of exercise interventions on fall prevention in ambulatory community-dwelling older adults: a systematic review with narrative synthesis.

Objective: To present a systematic review of randomized controlled trials which summarizes the effects of community-based resistance, balance, and multi-component exercise interventions on the parameters of functional ability (e.g., lower extremities muscle strength, balance performance and mobility). Methods: This PROSPERO-registered systematic review (registration no. CRD42023434808) followed the PRISMA guidelines. Literature search was conducted in Cochrane, Embase, Ovid Medline, PEDro, Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science. We included RCTs that investigated the following interventions: lower extremity strengthening, balance and multi-component exercise interventions on ambulatory community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years. Results: Lower extremity strengthening exercises revealed significant effects on the strength of lower extremity, balance outcomes and mobility. Balance exercises reduce the rate of injurious falls, improve static, dynamic and reactive balance, lower extremity strength as well as mobility. Multi-component exercise training reduces medically-attended injurious falls and fallers, incidence of falls, fall-related emergency department visits as well as improves mobility, balance, and lower extremity strength. Conclusion: Physical exercises are effective in improving the components of balance, lower extremity strength, mobility, and reducing falls and fall-related injuries. Further research on fall prevention in low-income countries as well as for older adults in vulnerable context is needed.

Investigation of premenstrual syndrome in connection with physical activity, perceived stress level, and mental status-a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: The premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a critical factor in women's health, which, in addition to physical inactivity, can be influenced by the body mass index (BMI), stress, and mental state, among others. The study aimed to assess the severity of PMS symptoms among young women regarding physical inactivity, BMI, mental state, and perceived stress level. Methods: A total of 198 female participants between the ages of 18-45 took part in a 6-month cross-sectional online questionnaire study. The average age of the participants was 25.37 ± 4.80 years. To assess physical activity, stress, mental state, and premenstrual symptoms, we employed standard questionnaires, including the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), and the Premenstrual Assessment Form-Short Form (PAF-SF). The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 28.0 software, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: During the analysis, we observed a significant relationship (p = 0.020) between regular exercise and the severity of PMS symptoms, as well as between mental state and PMS symptoms (p < 0.001). Furthermore, our findings revealed a significant negative correlation between regular physical activity and perceived stress levels (r = -0.179; p = 0.012), as well as between regular exercise and the participants' mental state (r = -0.157; p = 0.027). Additionally, we identified a significant difference (p < 0.001) among the six subgroups formed based on the PAF-SF and average PSS questionnaire results. Moreover, a significant difference was observed between the PAF-SF case and control groups in terms of BMI averages (p = 0.019). Discussion: The research findings indicate that the severity of PMS symptoms is influenced by regular physical activity, mental state, and stress.

Hungarian Women's Health Care Seeking Behavior and Knowledge of Urinary Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Cross-sectional Study.

IMPORTANCE: Adequate knowledge about pelvic floor disorders could lead to increased health care-seeking behavior, improved symptoms, and quality of life. OBJECTIVES: The aims of the present study were to evaluate Hungarian women's knowledge about pelvic floor disorders and to assess health care-seeking behavior. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a cross-sectional survey from March to October 2022 using self-administered questionnaires. The Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire was used to assess Hungarian women's knowledge about pelvic floor disorders. The International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form was used to gather information about the symptoms of urinary incontinence. RESULTS: Five hundred ninety-six women were included in the study. Urinary incontinence knowledge was deemed proficient in 27.7% of participants, while pelvic organ prolapse knowledge was deemed proficient in 40.4% of participants. Greater urinary incontinence knowledge was significantly associated (P < 0.001) with higher level of education (P = 0.016), work in a medical field (P < 0.001), and ever practiced pelvic floor muscle training (P < 0.001), whereas greater pelvic organ prolapse knowledge was significantly associated (P < 0.001) with higher level of education (P = 0.032), work in a medical field (P < 0.001), ever practiced pelvic floor muscle training (P = 0.017), and ever had pelvic organ prolapse (P = 0.022). Of the 248 participants who reported a history of urinary incontinence, only 42 (16.93%) women sought care. Care seeking was higher among women who were more knowledgeable about urinary incontinence and among women with more severe symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Hungarian women had limited knowledge about urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Health care seeking among women with urinary incontinence was low.

[Hungarian adaptation and validation of the Osteoporosis Questionnaire (OPQ)]. / Egy csontritkulás-specifikus kérdoív magyar nyelvu adaptációja és validálása.

INTRODUCTION: Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in five men over the age of 50. We do not have an osteoporosis-related knowledge questionnaire over the age of 50, which is considered strong evidence in the prevention and treatment of the disease. OBJECTIVE: Aim of the study was to validate the Hungarian form of the Osteoporosis Questionnaire in Hungarian-speaking women over the age of 50. METHOD: The questionnaire was validated into Hungarian according to Beaton's six-step method. Our sample consisted of 326 women. During our statistical analysis, we calculated descriptive statistics, difference tests, Cronbach's alpha value, and Spearman's correlation coefficient for test-retest and for external validity. Quality of life and physical activity were examined to support the external validity. RESULTS: Our sample (63.08 ± 9.36 years) scored 8.76 ± 6.94 points on the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha value was 0.89. For the test-retest, Spearman's correlation coefficient showed a value of p≥0.25 for all the questions. Significant correlations were found between knowledge and age (R = 0.37; p<0.001) and years of using hormone replacement therapy (R = 0.34; p = 0.02). The correlation analysis showed significant (p<0.001) correlation between knowledge and all sub-dimensions of quality of life. Significant correlation was found between transport movement (p<0.001; R = 0.21), intensive (p<0.001; R = 0.354), moderate recreational activity (p<0.001; R = 0.348), total moderate (p = 0.041; R = 0.125) total intense movements (p = 0.018; R = 0.145) and knowledge. DISCUSSION: The Hungarian questionnaire was validated in accordance with international practice. CONCLUSION: The Hungarian version of the Osteoporosis Questionnaire is a reliable, adaptable questionnaire for measuring the osteoporosis-related knowledge of the Hungarian female population over 50.

Validation and translation of the Hungarian version of the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (APFQ-H).

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The aims of the study were the translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of self-administered Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (APFQ) on a Hungarian population. METHODS: The validation was performed in 294 women over 18 who agreed to answer the Hungarian version of the APFQ. The validation of the questionnaire included evaluation of content/face validity, internal consistency, construct validity, test-retest reproducibility, discriminant validity and convergent validity. RESULTS: Acceptable and good internal consistency was observed in all four dimensions [McDonald's ω (95% confidence interval) coefficients were > 0.7 for each dimension: bladder 0.888, bowel 0.790, prolapse 0.895 and sexual function 0.738]. Test-retest analyses revealed high reproducibility with intraclass correlation coefficients (bladder 0.83, bowel 0.92, prolapse 0.96 and sexual function 0.87). Prolapse symptom score correlated significantly with Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q), and bladder score correlated significantly with the results of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ UI SF) (convergent validity). Scores distinguished between patients with pelvic floor disorders and controls (high discriminant validity). CONCLUSIONS: Hungarian version of the self-administered APFQ is a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating symptom severity and impact of pelvic floor dysfunction on the quality of life of Hungarian women.

[Study of the functional capacity and health status of patients with hip as well as knee osteoarthritis]. / A csípo-, valamint térdízületi arthrosisos betegek funkcióképességének és egészségi állapotának vizsgálata.

INTRODUCTION: Hip as well as knee osteoarthritis are common diseases. There are numerous therapeutic possibilities to address the problem. OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of the complex conservative treatment in patients with hip as well as knee osteoarthritis. METHOD: In addition to a self-made questionnaire, we applied the visual analogue scale, the Functional Independence Measure, the Barthel Index and the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) - 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey. Apart from these, joint range of motion was measured. The members of the examined group had different physiotherapy treatments (thermal water, physiotherapy, classic Swedish massage, Bemer treatment, wraps, physiotherapy). RESULTS: The results of the visual analogue scale and the Barthel Index were significantly different between the two measurements. Regarding the Functional Independence Measure, we did not find significant difference between the two groups. As for measuring the study group's health condition, we observed improvement in the case of both the physical and mental health dimensions. During the examination of joint range of motion in the study group, after analyzing the participants' data, we detected improvement, except for the passive extension of the left knee. CONCLUSION: The 3-week complex conservative therapy can be an appropriate form of treatment to improve the functionality and the health condition in the case of hip as well as knee osteoarthritis.

Disease-Specific Knowledge, Physical Activity, and Physical Functioning Examination among Patients with Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain.

Physical activity, physical functioning, and pain are some of the most critical factors of low back pain (LBP) treatment and prevention, but it was unknown that the back school program (BSP) influences the physical activity level of the patients with LBP. Data from 306 healthy patients and patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (cnsLBP) were used. We used the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), the Low Back Pain Knowledge Questionnaire (LKQ), the visual analog scale, and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). The significance level was set at p < 0.05. The amount of sedentary time in cnsLBP patients enrolled in the BSP was significantly lower compared to the other two groups (p < 0.001). Significantly higher moderate-intensity activities, leisure time activities, and active transportation were observed in the cnsLBP patients enrolled in the BSP than in the other two groups (p < 0.001). RMDQ scores and the pain intensity of the cnsLBP patients enrolled in the BSP were significantly lower than in patients with LBP receiving only exercise therapy (p < 0.001). The physical activity level and low-back-pain-specific knowledge was significantly higher, while back-related disability and pain intensity were significantly lower among patients with low back pain syndrome who participated in a back school program.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés és célkituzés: A noi kismedencei funkciózavarok változatos tünetekkel jelentkezhetnek, és jelentosen befolyásolják az érintettek életminoségét. Vizsgálatunk célja volt felmérni a medencefenék-diszfunkciós tüneteket és azok hatását az egyén életminoségére. Módszer: Vizsgálatunkba 203 not vontunk be. Az adatgyujtést két kérdoív, egy általunk összeállított és az Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire segítségével végeztük. Az adatok statisztikai elemzéséhez SPSS 20.0 rendszert használtunk. Spearman-korrelációt, khi-négyzet-próbát, Mann-Whitney-féle U-tesztet, Kruskal-Wallis-próbát és többváltozós lineáris regressziót alkalmaztunk. A szignifikanciaszintet p≤0,05 határnál állapítottuk meg. Eredmények: A hólyagdiszfunkciók gyakorisága (56,2%) szignifikáns kapcsolatot mutatott az életkor növekedésével (p<0,001), az obesitassal (p<0,001), a szülésszámmal és -móddal (p<0,001; p<0,001), az episiotomiával (p<0,001) és a prolapsusmutétekkel (p = 0,010). A süllyedéses kismedencei kórképek gyakorisága (27,1%) szignifikáns kapcsolatot mutatott az életkor növekedésével (p = 0,002), a szülésszámmal és -móddal (p<0,001; p<0,001) és a korábbi episiotomiával (p<0,001). Az analis incontinentia gyakorisága (58,9%) a magasabb testtömegindexszel (p = 0,029) volt szignifikáns kapcsolatban. Szexuális diszfunkciót (53,2%) allergia és tüdobetegségek (p = 0,048) jelenlétével kapcsolatban találtunk. A többes diszfunkció elofordulási gyakorisága az életkor növekedésével (p<0,001), az obesitassal (p = 0,043), a korábbi hysterectomiával (p = 0,046) és prolapsusmutétekkel (p<0,001) mutatott szignifikáns kapcsolatot. Minden diszfunkció esetén kimutatható volt az életminoség-romlás (hólyagfunkciók: p<0,001; bél- és székletürítési funkciók: p<0,001, hüvelyfali süllyedés: p<0,001, szexuális funkciók: p<0,001). Következtetés: Az általunk vizsgált noi populációban nagy arányban találtunk kismedencei funkciózavarokat, melyek kedvezotlen hatással voltak az érintettek életminoségére. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(43): 1724-1731. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) can cause several complaints in women and has an adverse effect on the quality of life (Qol). The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction and its effect on Qol. METHOD: 203 women were included. We used two questionnaires, a self-constructed and the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 20.0. Spearman's correlation, chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis tests and multivariate linear regression were used. Statistical significance was set at p≤0.05. RESULTS: There was a significant association between the prevalence of urinary incontinence (56.2%) and age (p<0.001), obesity (p<0.001), number and mode of deliveries (p<0.001; p<0.001), episiotomy (p<0.001) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery (p = 0.010); between the occurrence of POP (27.1%) and age (p = 0.002), the number and mode of deliveries (p<0.001; p<0.001) and episiotomy (p<0.001); between the prevalence of anal incontinence (58.9%) and obesity (p = 0.029); between sexual dysfunction (SD) (53.2%) and respiratory disease and allergy (p = 0.048). Multiple PFD was significantly associated with age (p<0.001), obesity (p = 0.043), hysterectomy (p = 0.046) and POP surgery (p = 0.010). There was a significant difference between women having more severe PFD than milder complaints regarding Qol (bladder p<0.001; bowel p<0.001; SD p<0.001 and POP p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Pelvic floor dysfunction was common in our study population and had a great adverse effect on Qol. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(43): 1724-1731.

The Hungarian adaptation and validation of the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale / Az Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale kérdoív magyar nyelvu validálása.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A nemzetközi szakirodalomban számos betegséget illetoen elérheto betegségspecifikus tudást és attitudöt méro kérdoív. Magyarországon az osteoporosis témakörében validált kérdoívek tárháza meglehetosen hiányos. Célkituzés: Célunk volt a csontritkulás-specifikus magatartás és attitud vizsgálatára alkalmas Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS-) kérdoív magyar nyelvre történo validációja, melynek segítségével mérhetové válna a magyar anyanyelvu nok csontritkulással kapcsolatos attitudje. Módszer: A kérdoív magyar nyelvre validálása a 2000-ben megfogalmazott hatlépcsos irányelv szerint történt. A külso validitás vizsgálatához az Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT-) kérdoívet használtuk. Mintánkat 600 fo alkotta; statisztikai számításaink során leíró statisztikát készítettünk, különbözoségi vizsgálatokat végeztünk, a belso konzisztencia vizsgálatára Cronbach-alfa-értéket számítottunk, a konvergens validitás és a teszt-reteszt mérések vizsgálatához Spearman-féle korrelációs koefficienst számítottunk. A kérdoív belso struktúrájának vizsgálatához faktorelemzést végeztünk. Ennek megfeleloen Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO)-tesztet és Bartlett-próbát számítottunk. Eredmények: Mintánk (37,7 ± 13,15 életév) az OHBS (126,28 ± 14,85 pont) és az OKAT (8,78 ± 3,1) tekintetében egyaránt alacsony pontszámot ért el. A teljes kérdoívre kivetített Cronbach-alfa-érték 0,802 volt. A faktorelemzés (KMO = 0,886; Bartlett-próba p<0,001) 7 faktort különített el, melyek megfeleltethetok az eredeti faktoroknak. A teszt-reteszt során a Spearman-féle korrelációs koefficiens 0,921 és 1,000 közötti értéket mutatott. Az OKAT- és az OHBS-dimenziók összevetésekor számos szignifikáns kapcsolatot találtunk. Megbeszélés: A vizsgálati eredmények megfelelnek az eredeti kérdoív szerinti, továbbá a más nyelvre történt validálás során kapott eredményeknek. Következtetés: Eredményeink alapján a magyar nyelvu OHBS csontritkulás-specifikus attitudöt és magatartást vizsgáló kérdoívet megbízható és valid kérdoívnek tartjuk. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(37): 1494-1501. INTRODUCTION: In the international literature, several disease-specific questionnaires are available for many diseases. The opportunities of validated questionnaires are incomplete about osteoporosis in Hungarian language. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to validate the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) into Hungarian that would make it possible to measure the osteoporosis-related attitude for Hungarian-speaking women. METHOD: The questionnaire was validated into Hungarian according to the six-step guideline outlined in 2000. The Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT) questionnaire was used to examine external validity. Our sample consisted of 600 women. We performed descriptive statistics; Cronbach's alpha value was calculated for internal consistency, we calculated Spearman's correlation coefficient to examine external validity. We carried out factor analysis (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] test, Bartlett test) to examine whether the new questionnaire is suitable for measurements in the given language the same way as the original questionnaire. RESULTS: Our sample (37.7 ± 13.15 years of age) achieved low score for both OHBS (126.28 ± 14.85) and OKAT (8.78 ± 3.1). The Cronbach's alpha value was 0.802. Factor analysis (KMO = 0.886; Bartlett test p<0.001) identified 7 factors that can be similar to the original factors. During the test-retest, the Spearman correlation coefficient showed a value between 0.921 and 1.000. When comparing the OKAT and OHBS dimensions we found several significant relationships. DISCUSSION: The results of the study are similar to the results of the original questionnaire validation as well as to other OHBS validation studies. CONCLUSION: Based on the results, we consider that the Hungarian form of the OHBS is a reliable and valid questionnaire. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(37): 1494-1501.

Scapular dyskinesis: the origo of shoulder lesions? / Scapuladyskinesis: a vállelváltozások origója?

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A megváltozott statikus és/vagy dinamikus lapockapozíciót, azaz a scapuladyskinesist gyakran vonják párhuzamba a vállelváltozásokkal. Mindemellett a lapocka kinematikai eltérései nagy számban jelen lehetnek tünetmentes egyéneknél is, melegágyat biztosítva a késobbi vállelváltozások kialakulásának. Célkituzés: Munkánk fo célja az volt, hogy felhívja a figyelmet ezen problémakör fontosságára, valamint hogy megvizsgálja a scapuladyskinesis elofordulásának gyakoriságát és körülményeit az átlagpopulációban. Módszer: Mintánk 70 fobol állt (átlagéletkor: 22,17 ± 1,77 év). 67%-uk férfi, míg 33%-uk no volt. A scapuladyskinesis fennállását McClure-féle 'Scapular Dyskinesis Test'-tel vizsgáltuk. A résztvevok vállfájdalmának intenzitását vizuális analóg skála segítségével, habituális testtartásukat fotogrammetriás módszerrel, fobb lapockastabilizáló izmaik izomerejét pedig Kendall-féle manuális izomerotesztekkel mértük fel. Mindemellett felvettük antropometriai adataikat, valamint megkérdeztük, hogy milyen gyakran végeznek sporttevékenységet. Eredmények: A résztvevok 53%-ánál találtunk valamilyen fokú scapuladyskinesist. A habituális testtartást vizsgáló fotogrammetriás felmérés eredményei és a scapuladyskinesist méro McClure-féle teszt eredményei között szignifikáns összefüggést találtunk (p = 0,01). A sportolási gyakoriság és a scapuladyskinesis elofordulása között jelentos összefüggést tapasztaltunk (p = 0,01). A fájdalom erossége és a scapuladyskinesis elofordulása között szignifikáns volt az összefüggés (p = 0,03). A scapuladyskinesist méro McClure-féle teszt és az azonos oldali felso végtagon izomero-csökkenést mutató tesztek eredményei között szintén szignifikáns összefüggést tapasztaltunk (p = 0,01). Következtetés: Az elit sportolók mellett az átlagos populációban is jelentos mértékben jelen lehetnek a lapocka kinematikai eltérései. Mindez jelentos összefüggésben állhat az adott személy életmódjával és egészségmagatartásával, valamint kiemelt szerepet játszhat a krónikus vállfájdalom kialakulásában. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(15): 587-594. INTRODUCTION: The altered static and/or dynamic scapular position, i. e., scapular dyskinesis, is often paralleled with shoulder pathologies. However, shoulder kinematic abnormalities may also be present in large numbers in asymptomatic individuals. OBJECTIVE: The main goal of our work was to draw attention to the importance of scapular dyskinesis in shoulder pathologies. METHOD: The final sample consisted of 70 people (average age: 22.17 ± 1.77 years), 67% of them was male and 33% female. The presence of scapular dyskinesis was assessed by McClure's Scapular Dyskinesis Test. Visual analog scale was used to examine the shoulder pain of the participants, photogrammetric method was used to document their habitual posture. Kendall's manual muscle testing methods were used to determine the muscle strength of the individual muscles of the shoulder girdle; we also recorded their anthropometric data and asked them about their sporting habits. RESULTS: In 53% of the participants, some degree of scapular dyskinesis was found. We observed significant correlation between the sporting habits and scapular dyskinesis (p = 0.01). Significant correlation was observed between the posture and scapular dyskinesis (p = 0.01). Between the strength of pain and the dyskinesis, we found a significant correlation (p = 0.03). There was a significant correlation between the results of the McClure's test and the tests showing muscle strength loss around the scapula (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: In addition to elite athletes, scapular dyskinesis may also be significantly present in the average population and can play a key role in the development of shoulder pain.

Multicausal analysis on psychosocial and lifestyle factors among patients undergoing assisted reproductive therapy - with special regard to self-reported and objective measures of pre-treatment habitual physical activity.

BACKGROUND: National, regional and global trends in prevalence of infertility indicate its public health importance, however it effects various life dimensions of individuals and couples as well. Lifestyle habits may counteract with these factors. The aim of the study was the multicausal analysis of psychosocial and lifestyle factors undergoing assisted reproductive therapy (ART) with special regard to pre-treatment habitual physical activity (PA). METHODS: In a cross-sectional, observational cohort study on ART patients (N = 60, age 34.6 ± 5.2 years, BMI 24.2 ± 4.9 kg/m2) with follow up on outcome measures a detailed description was given on PA patterns (ActriGraph GT3X, GPAQ-H) and on general and infertility related distress (BDI-13, FPI). RESULTS: Respondents reported normal mood state (BDI-13) but moderately high infertility-related distress (FPI) in Social- and very high distress in Sexual Concern. It was revealed that time spent with recreational PA (RPA) could counteract with infertility-related distress (Social Concern R = -0.378, p = 0.013; Relationship Concern R = -0.365, p = 0.019). In the presence of clinical pregnancy GPAQ-H RPA MET was significantly higher (p = 0.048), in the non-pregnant group cumulative values and work-related PA were higher. Correlations could be found between RPA time and the number of oocytes (R = 0.315, p = 0.045), matured oocytes (R = 0.339, p = 0.030) and embryos (R = 0.294, p = 0.062) by women who reached at least 150 min RPA (GPAQ-H). Multivariate linear regression revealed that the number of oocytes was positively influenced by the GPAQ-H recreation MET (R2 = 0.367; F = 10.994, p = 0.004; B = 0.005, p = 0.004, B Constant = 4.604). Regarding the number of embryos (R2 = 0.757, F = 17.692, p < 0.001, B Constant = 1.342) positive relationship was found with GPAQ-H RPA MET (B = 0.004, p < 0.001) and negative with BMI (B = -0.167, p = 0.038). It was disclosed (R2 = 0.958, F = 408.479, p < 0.001) that higher Very Vigorous Activity (ActiGraph) was accompanied with higher hCG (B = 63.703, p ≤ 0.001). However, time spent with moderate PA (GPAQ-H) (B = 0.002, SE = 0.001, Wald = 3.944, p = 0.047, OR = 1.002) was significantly associated with live births. CONCLUSIONS: Amount of PA alone did not have a positive effect on outcome of ART. Type and intensity seemed to be more significant. Existing differences in response to infertility due to recreational PA suggest the importance of the development of a specific intervention. The robust overestimation of PA in self-reports highlights the need to improve physical literacy of women undergoing ART.

The development of a reliable and valid instrument to measure the osteoporosis-related knowledge: validation of the Hungarian version of Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT).

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is one of the most common chronic musculoskeletal diseases. Osteoporosis-related knowledge is an important contributor in to prevent osteoporosis. There is no validated reliable questionnaire to measure the knowledge in Hungary. The aim of the study was to validate the Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT) Hungarian version. METHODS: The research was a randomized validation study of a new Hungarian language instrument. The questionnaire was administered to 557 randomly selected healthy women (age between 25 and 44 years) from December 2018 to July 2019 in Baranya county, Hungary. The reliability was examined by the Flesch reading ease and McNemar's test. We examined item discrimination and item-total correlations, inter-item consistency (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) and principal component factor analysis. RESULTS: Significant differences (p <  0.001) were reported between total scores and the age categories. Significant (p <  0.001) correlation (r = 0.25) was found between the education level and the knowledge. Significantly (p <  0.001) higher knowledge were found in health care profession (14.53 ± 3.58) than the non-health care profession (9.99 ± 4.04). Participants with osteoporosis or fracture in family history had better knowledge (p <  0.001). Flesch reading ease was 44, the questionnaire had a Ferguson's sigma of 0.94 and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.81. There were no negative inter-item correlations psychometric properties of the OKAT, all items had more than 70% of correlations (p <  0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The Hungarian version of the Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool is a reliable and objective questionnaire to measure women's knowledge in Hungary.

Assessment of health-related quality of life and patient's knowledge in chronic non-specific low back pain.

BACKGROUND: Chronic non-specific low back pain syndrome (cnsLBP) is a severe health problem in developed countries, which has an important effect on patients' quality of life and is highly determined by socio-demographic factors and low back pain specific knowledge. We examined patients' health-related quality of life according to the results of the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), low back pain knowledge (LBPKQ) and the social determinants of the participants. METHODS: We carried out our research in the first half of 2015 in Southern Transdanubia, Hungary. The examination included 1155 respondents living with chronic non-specific low back pain. The confidence interval of 95% was used, and the level of. significance was p < 0.05 using SPSS 22.0 software. RESULTS: The SF-36 questionnaire is suitable for the examination of patients' health-related quality of life (Cronbach's Alpha> 0.76), as the LBPKQ's Cronbach's Alpha was 0.726 also, which showed good validity. Longer-term disease meant a lower health-related quality of life (p < 0.05). A greater decrease of function (Roland Morris scores (RM)) accounts for a lower HRQoL and higher knowledge level. We found significant differences in LBPKQ scores according to sociodemographic parameters. The general health status was positively correlated with LBPKQ (p = 0.024) adjusted for demographic and pain and functional status. CONCLUSION: The negative effect of the symptoms on patients' quality of life is proved, which is determined by different socio-demographic parameters furthermore by knowledge. Above all could be useful information for professionals to adopt the right interventions.

Association with subjective measured physical activity (GPAQ) and quality of life (WHOQoL-BREF) of ageing adults in Hungary, a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: It is well known that physical activity (PA) has health benefits. This study aimed to examine physical activity carried out by the senior (over 50) participants and its relation to their quality of life (QoL). METHODS: Surveillance of PA and QoL was measured by using questionnaires (GPAQ, WHOQoL-BREF) in this study. Descriptive data were presented as means and standard deviations (SD) for continuous variables and as percentages for categorical variables. Multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: Overall, 250 participants were recruited, the mean age of the study population (n = 243) was 70.2 (SD 7.1) years. The results clearly showed that the Hungarian participants aged over 50 years were more likely to do PA if they had university degree and lower age (p ≤ 0.001) and used more active transportation (p = 0.035) if they had low education. The results of WHOQoL-BREF showed that the Hungarian individuals have better QoL if they have university degree (p ≤ 0.001) and lower age (p ≤ 0.001). Using multivariate linear regression analysis to examine the effect of PA patterns on QoL adjusted for demographic variables (age, education, BMI, place of living), the result showed significant correlation between WHOQoL-BREF dimensions and GPAQ (p ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSION: Higher amount of PA among aging population can result in better QoL in all dimensions.

Validation and translation of the Hungarian version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-H).

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) has been used for clinical and research purposes in many countries. The aim of this study was to translate, adapt and perform a psychometric validation of a Hungarian version of the FSFI. METHODS: The FSFI was translated into Hungarian, and its precision was ascertained through reverse translation by an expert team. As a first step, 40 volunteers participated in an evaluation of the test-retest reliability of the Hungarian version over a 2-week period. After that, 418 (331 control and 87 with pelvic organ prolapse) women who had been in a stable sexual relationship in the previous 4 weeks participated in the study. The data were summarized using descriptive statistics. The structure validity was examined by confirmatory factor analysis, with which we tested the hypothesized original factor structure, using maximum likelihood model estimation. We calculated the Comparative Fit Index (CFI), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), standardized root mean residual and Akaike information criterion (AIC). To test the internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the full scale were determined. Spearman's rank correlation was used for testing divergent validity and Mann-Whitney U-test for examining discriminant validity. RESULTS: The FSFI was easily understandable and acceptable as well as capable of adequately evaluating and measuring various aspects of female sexual functioning. A high degree of internal consistency was demonstrated by the Cronbach's alpha value (0.963). CONCLUSION: The FSFI Hungarian version is a valid tool that measures the same functioning as the original English questionnaire.

[Prevalence, potential risk factors and sequelae of diastasis recti abdominis]. / A rectus diastasis prevalenciája, lehetséges rizikófaktorai és szövodményei.

INTRODUCTION: There is scant knowledge on diastasis recti which occurs mostly in 3rd trimester of pregnancy. AIM: Our aim was to assign the prevalence of diastasis recti and the possible risk factors and to investigate its association with some chronical diseases, like low back pain and urinary incontinence. METHOD: 200 women's interrectus distance was measured who filled out a self-made diastasis recti questionnaire, the SF-36, Oswestry Disability Index and the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Urinary Incontinence Short Form questionnaires. RESULTS: Prevalence of the condition was 46.5%. In case of risk factors, relationship between number of deliveries and interrectus distance was significant. We found a significant difference in quality of life, in presence of low back pain and urinary incontinence between the normal and the abnormal group. CONCLUSIONS: In line with the literature we found, that diastasis recti can predispose on serious sequelae, hence on decreased quality of life. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(12), 454-460.
