Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To assess the cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the eight-question Wexner Constipation Questionnaire, the questionnaire was first translated from English to Turkish, then back from Turkish to English, and finally back from English to Turkish. The questionnaire was finalized with the collaboration of an internal medicine specialist and a gastroenterologist to prepare the Turkish version. It will then be administered to a minimum of 200 participants, along with the Constipation Quality of Life Questionnaire, previously validated and reliable in Turkish and used for constipation. For reliability, the questionnaire will be repeated for a portion of the participants after two weeks.
