چکیده    Nasal obstruction can negatively impact the quality of life (qol). the nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (nose) scale is a validated tool for assessing nasal obstruction symptoms. this study aimed to cross-culturally adapt and validate the nose questionnaire in kurdish for patients undergoing nasal surgery in iraq. this cross-sectional study was conducted from april 2022 to january 2023 at a publicly funded medical center located in sulaymaniyah, iraq. using forward-backward translation, the nose questionnaire was translated into kurdish. psychometric evaluation was conducted in 136 patients who underwent rhinoplasty or septoplasty. test-retest reliability and internal consistency were used to evaluate reliability. responsiveness was determined by comparing pre-and post-operative scores. cronbach’s alpha for the nose-k total score was 0.9999, indicating excellent consistency. in the test-retest reliability assessment, the intraclass correlation coefficient (icc; 0.9999, 95%ci: 0.9999-0.9999) and kappa (0.995; 95% ci, 0.993-0.997) demonstrated excellent reliability. the validity of lin’s concordance correlation coefficient (ccc; 0.9999, 95%ci: 0.9998 to 0.9999) of the nose-k total score showed a strong correlation and concordance between the two measures, respectively. no ceiling or floor effects were observed (0%).  the effect size (es) and standardized response mean (srm) of the nose-k total score were -0.003 (95%ci: -0.005 to -0.001) and -0.165 (95%ci: -0.246 to -0.079), respectively. the current study shows that the nose-k is a reliable and valid tool for assessing patients with septum-related symptoms. concerning nose-k’s strong validity, good internal consistency, repeatability, and reliability, its use is advised.
