Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study was to determine the validity and reliability of
the Malay versions of the Incontinence Praying Ability (I-PA) and the Incontinence Quality of Life
(I-QoL) questionnaires among childbearing-aged Muslim women.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 338 childbearing-aged Muslim women
(mean age: 31.1 years; SD = 5.57) who attended clinics at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine the construct validity of the Malay
versions of the I-PA and the I-QoL, while composite reliability was used to examine their internal
consistency reliability.
Results: The hypothesised models of the I-PA and the I-QoL consisted of 10 items with one
latent variable and 22 items with three latent variables, respectively. The hypothesised models of
the I-PA and the I-QoL did not have good fit. Modifications included co-varying the residual terms
for items within the subscales, which resulted in improved fit indices for the I-PA (CFI = 0.976
TLI = 0.961, RMSEA = 0.068) and the I-QoL (CFI = 0.948, TLI = 0.938, RMSEA = 0.063). The
composite reliability of the I-PA was 0.93, and the I-QoL ranged from 0.91 to 0.94.
Conclusion: The Malay versions of the I-PA and I-QoL were considered to be valid, reliable
questionnaires measuring incontinence QoL among Muslim women of childbearing age.
