Objective:To gain a deep understanding of the disease experience of children with transition nephrotic syndrome, so as to provide a reference for developing targeted nursing measures and improving coping abilities in clinical practice.Methods:This study was a phenomenological study. From May to June 2023, a semi-structured interview was conducted using purposive sampling method to select children with transition nephrotic syndrome ( n=13) who received outpatient or inpatient treatment at Children's Hospital of Soochow University. Colaizzi 7-step method was used to analyze interview data and extract themes. Results:The disease experience of children with transition nephrotic syndrome were summarized into five themes, including inadequate disease self-management ability (lack of disease cognition and management knowledge, weak self-management awareness), excessive disease-related burden (significant academic impact, frequent adverse drug reactions, and heavy self-perceived burden), increased fear of negative evaluation, tense parent-child relationships, and growth and gain (feeling the care of others and achieving self-growth) .Conclusions:Children with transition nephrotic syndrome experience various challenges brought by growth, development, and disease, with heavy disease burden and psychological pressure. Medical and nursing staff should closely monitor children's emotional and psychological changes, value their disease experience, provide targeted psychological counseling and support in a timely manner, and reduce their adverse disease experience.

Objective:To translate the Pediatric Epilepsy-Specific Health-Related Quality of Life (PedsQL TM Epilepsy Module) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity in children aged 5 to 7 years old and their parents. Methods:Brislin translation model was used for forward translation, back translation, harmonization, and proofreading of the PedsQL TM Epilepsy Module. Chinese version of PedsQL TM Epilepsy Module beta version was developed through cognitive interviews, expert consultations, and pre-surveys for cross-cultural adaptation of the scale. From April to November 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 420 children with epilepsy and their parents admitted to the Children's Hospital of Soochow University as participants for a questionnaire survey to test its reliability and validity. Results:A total of 840 questionnaires were distributed (420 for children and 420 for parents), and 394 valid questionnaires were collected from children and 400 valid questionnaires were collected from parents, and the effective response rates of the questionnaires were 93.81% (394/420) and 95.24% (400/420), respectively. Chinese version of PedsQL TM Epilepsy Module (child report version) included five dimensions and 28 items. Chinese version of PedsQL TM Epilepsy Module (parent agent report version) consisted of five dimensions and 29 items. The content validity indices at the item level were 0.800 to 1.00, while the content validity indices at the scale level were 0.978 and 0.979, respectively. Exploratory factor analysis of two versions of the scale showed that five common factors were extracted, with cumulative variance contribution rates of 64.557% and 75.205%, respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the models of the two scales fitted well. The total Cronbach's α coefficients of the two scales were 0.906 and 0.914, respectively, with Cronbach's α coefficients for each dimension ranging from 0.869 to 0.991. The total test-retest reliability coefficients of the scale were 0.998 and 0.995, respectively, and the test-retest reliability coefficients of each dimension were 0.803 to 0.995. Conclusions:Chinese version of the PedsQL TM Epilepsy Module has good reliability and validity, and is suitable for evaluating the health-related quality of life of children with epilepsy aged 5 to 7 years old in China.
