Validated PROM, such as the Initial Measurement of Patient-Reported Pelvic Floor Complaints Tool Short Form (IMPACT-SF), quantify pelvic floor symptoms, but do not assess toileting behaviours or all the Rome IV criteria. Thus, the study aimed to adapt the original tool and translate the modified IMPACT-SF into Kannada.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was conducted in three phases: (i) Phase 1: Adaptation of IMPACT-SF, (ii) Phase 2: Content validation of modified IMPACT-SF and (iii) Phase 3: Translation of modified IMPACT-SF to Kannada. This study followed the guidelines of the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) and those of Beaton et al. (Spine 2000;25(24):3186\u201391). The 11 experts were asked about comprehensiveness, relevance, sentence formation, clarity and suggestions during the content validation. The item- and scale-level content validity indices (I-CVI and S-CVI) were finalised following the third round of expert evaluation. Five female participants were included for the critical review of questions. The translation of the modified IMPACT-SF was completed following cognitive debriefing of 30 female participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The modified IMPACT-SF demonstrated excellent content validity (S-CVI 0.92\u20130.97).
