Background: Rhinoplasty outcomes evaluation (ROE) is a type of quality-of-life questionnaire. The ROE questionnaire, originally developed in English, has been translated into several languages. Aim: This study focuses on assessing the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the questionnaire. Methods: The study utilized a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical method to validate the Persian version of the rhinoplasty outcomes evaluation (ROE) questionnaire. The translation process involved two independent translators. The Persian version was then translated back into English and sent to the original designers of the questionnaire for permission. The content validity of the questionnaire was assessed by a group of experts, and the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) were calculated. To assess reliability, test-retest, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used. Results: The questionnaire demonstrated good reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.76, indicating internal consistency. The inter-item correlation (IIC) of the current questionnaire was equal to 0.727. The CVR of all questions was higher than the standard CVR for 10 experts, that is 0.62, except for question number two, which had a CVR of 0.564. Conclusion: The research effectively confirmed the reliability and validity of the ROE questionnaire version in evaluating contentment after rhinoplasty procedures. This questionnaire now serves as an accurate tool specifically designed for assessing satisfaction, among individuals, in Iran.
