Abstract:
Objective:To translate Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM 3.2 Diabetes Module (PedsQL TM 3.2-DM) for children and adolescents into Chinese and analyze the reliability and validity of it. Methods:Following the principle of Brislin translation, the source scale was translated by 2 supervisor nurses with master's degrees and the scale was back translated by 2 nursing experts with overseas study experience. The semantic adjustment of the scale was carried out by pre-surveys. By the convenient sampling method, a total of 175 children and adolescents with diabetes who were treated in Department of Endocrinology and Department of Pediatrics in ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Yantai and Qingdao from March to August 2019 were investigated and 175 effective scales were finally included to analyze the reliability and validity of the revised scale in children and adolescents with diabetes.Results:The Chinese version of PedsQL TM 3.2-DM had 33 items in total, including 4 dimensions such as disease-related symptoms, treatment compliance, disease-caused worry and communication. The Cronbach's α coefficient of Chinese version of PedsQL TM 3.2-DM was 0.927 and that of 4 dimensions were respectively 0.885, 0.910, 0.828 and 0.798. After assessment by panel of experts, the content validity index of Chinese version of PedsQL TM 3.2-DM was 0.97 and the content validity index of every item was from 0.80 to 1.00. A total of 4 common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 59.539%. In addition, the factor loading of each item on its common factor was over 0.4. Conclusions:The Chinese version of PedsQL TM 3.2-DM has good reliability and validity, which can be used as a simple tool for self-assessment of quality of life in children aged from 8 to 19 years with diabetes.
