OBJECTIVES: The short, self  administered Menopause Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQoL) is a specific quality of life instrument which measures the impact of menopause symptoms on QoL. This study aims to adapt the MSQoL questionnaire into Turkish (for Turkish) culture and check the questionnaire psychometric properties. METHODS: The original instrument was translated and back translated by two independent translators. For psychometric measures, a small sample was used to check the initial comprehension and factibility. Cronbach’s Alfa was used to assess reliability and factor analysis to assess dimensionality. The EuroQol questionnaire and corresponding Visual Analogue Scales were used for concurrent validity. RESULTS: 160 women with menapause syndrom were participated . Mean age was 49. The reliability was good (Alpha=0.97) and all dimensions eigenvalues higher than 1.0, explaning 78.9% of avaliable variability. All items loaded on own dimensions. Correlations were moderate with EuroQol and VAS. CONCLUSIONS: The Menapause Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire has good psychometric properties. It is also capable to discriminate women with a menapause .
