The original MELASQOL questionnaire is in English and is adapted into Bahasa Indonesia according to the cross-cultural and language adaptation guidelines. The subjects were recruited from two sites, The Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and a factory in Tangerang. A construct validity method was used for the validity analysis. Cronbach’s α was used for internal reliability analysis.Results: The initial stage involved 30 subjects, and 32 subjects were involved with the final stage. The validity of The MELASQOL Bahasa Indonesia was calculated by the item-total score. The correlation coefficient is 0.712–0.935.
