The current research investigates the development and validation of the Bladder and Bowel Incontinence Phobia Severity Scale (BBIPSS). Over two studies, two independent samples consisting of university students and respondents from the general public were used to validate the scale (study 1 n = 226; study 2 n = 377). A 15-item, two-factor model was confirmed in study 2 where strong construct (convergent and divergent) validity was demonstrated. The BBIPSS did not display significant correlations with openness and gender (divergent validity) and displayed significant correlations with depression, anxiety, and stress scores (DASS), alongside paruresis and parcopresis scores (Shy Bladder and Bowel Scale [SBBS]; convergent validity) and the Bowel and Bladder-Control Anxiety Scale [BoBCAtS]. The BBIPSS also demonstrated strong test–retest reliability (bladder r = 0.89; bowel r = 0.86) in a small sample of adults (n = 13). Overall, this scale provides researchers and clinicians with a reliable and psychometrically valid assessment tool to measure bladder and bowel incontinence phobia severity.

膀胱和肠失禁恐惧症严重程度量表的制定和验证。

当前的研究调查了膀胱和肠失禁恐惧症严重程度量表（BBIPSS）的开发和验证。在两项研究中，使用了由大学生和来自公众的受访者组成的两个独立样本来验证量表（研究1 n = 226；研究2 n = 377）。在研究2中确认了15个项目的两因素模型，其中证明了强构造（收敛和发散）的有效性。BBIPSS与开放性和性别之间没有显着相关性（不同效度），与抑郁，焦虑和压力评分（DASS），paruresis和parcopresis评分（Shy Bladder and Bowel Scale [SBBS]；收敛效度）以及肠和膀胱控制焦虑量表[BoBCAtS]。BBIPSS在少量成人样本（n = 13）中也显示出强大的重测信度（膀胱r = 0.89；肠r = 0.86）。总体而言，该量表为研究人员和临床医生提供了一种可靠的，在心理上有效的评估工具，可用于测量膀胱和肠道失禁恐惧症的严重程度。
