Description
Moustapha Faye and colleagues validate a Wolof kidney disease quality of life questionnaire in Senegal in a 2026 study. The thirty-six item tool must fit local language and culture before scores can be trusted. A total of 575 adults with mid-stage kidney disease or on dialysis, followed for at least three months, completed the version between June and November 2024. Structure, consistency, repeat stability, group differences, and sensitivity to change were tested.
Structure checks supported a layered general module plus three kidney-specific parts covering burden, symptoms, and effects. Consistency was sufficient and repeat stability ran moderate to good. Scores differed as expected between dialysis and non-dialysis patients and between men and women. Several parts also shifted clearly with change over time. The authors judge the Wolof version valid and reliable for Senegalese care.
