Background[edit | edit source]
Faecal incontinence (FI) and functional constipation are relatively common symptoms in the community, particularly in the elderly[1] affecting approximately 2.2–11.3% and 15% an of the population respectively.[2][3]. The Fecal Incontinence and Constipation Questionnaire was developed to access the prevalence of constipation and fecal incontinence in the community; assess the risk factors for fecal incontinence; and characterize the severity of fecal incontinence all of which were a shortfall of the previoulsy validated fecal incontinence questionnaire.
Objective[edit | edit source]
The Fecal Incontinence and Constipation Questionnaire
Objective was to psychometrically analyze the Fecal Incontinence and Constipation Questionnaire (FICQ) in patients seeking outpatient rehabilitation services due to pelvic-floor dysfunction (PFD).
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Patients above 18 years with Pelvic-floor dysfunction.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
It consist of 20 questions in 2 subcategories- The FICQ consists of 20 items: 15 items related to bowel leakage problems (items 1–15) and 5 items related to constipation problems (items 16–20).
Reference[edit | edit source]
Identified problems[edit | edit source]
The study populations were not classified according to the medical diagnosis.
Validity[edit | edit source]
The empirical item difficulty hierarchical order supports construct validity of the instrument.
