Introduction: This study aims to empirically validate the French- Canadian version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), a measure of health-related quality of life for prostate cancer patients.Methods: Two hundred fifty-one participants completed a battery of self-report scales, including the French-Canadian version of the EPIC, after having received radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.Results: The internal consistency for the urinary incontinence, bowel, and sexual domains of the EPIC-26 was high (Cronbach’s alpha coefficients from 0.80‒0.92), while coefficients for the urinary irritation/obstruction (0.59) and hormonal (0.67) domains were lower. Item-total correlations (rs=0.15‒0.85), and temporal stability (rs=0.72‒0.93) generally supported the reliability of the instrument. The five-factor structure of the EPIC-26 was confirmed for the most part. The construct validity of the instrument was also supported by high correlations obtained between each domain and measures assessing similar constructs (rs=-0.56‒0.83). The EPIC also showed an excellent sensitivity to change with significant differences obtained on EPIC scores (all p<0.05) between pre- and post-prostate cancer treatment.Conclusions: The psychometric qualities of the French-Canadian version of the EPIC are well-supported, thus providing a valid tool to assess health-related quality of life in prostate cancer patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the self-report and parent-proxy Health-Related Quality of Life Measure for Children with Epilepsy (CHEQOL-25) into Vietnamese and to evaluate their reliability. Methods: Both English versions of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were translated and culturally adapted into Vietnamese by using the Principles of Good Practice for the Translation and Cultural Adaptation Process. The Vietnamese versions were scored by 77 epileptic patients, who aged 8–15 years, and their parents/caregivers at neurology outpatient clinic of Children Hospital No. 2 – Ho Chi Minh City. Reliability of the questionnaires was determined by using Cronbach’s coefficient α and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Both Vietnamese versions of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were shown to be consistent with the English ones, easy to understand for Vietnamese children and parents. Thus, no further modification was required. Cronbach’s α coefficient for each subscale of the Vietnamese version of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 was 0.65 to 0.86 and 0.83 to 0.86, respectively. The ICC for each subscale of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 was in the range of 0.61 to 0.86 and 0.77 to 0.98, respectively. Conclusion: The Vietnamese version of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were the first questionnaires about quality of life of epileptic children in Vietnam. This Vietnamese version was shown to be reliable to assess the quality of life of children with epilepsy aged 8–15 years.
