We report herein the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation into the Bulgarian language of the parent's version of two health related quality of life instruments. The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) is a disease specific health instrument that measures functional ability in daily living activities in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) is a generic health instrument designed to capture the physical and psychosocial well-being of children independently from the underlying disease. The Bulgarian CHAQ CHQ were fully validated with 1 forward and 1 backward translations. 137 subjects were enrolled: 77 patients with JIA (36% systemic onset, 30% polyarticular onset, 4% extended oligoarticular subtype, and 30% persistent oligoarticular subtype) and 60 healthy children. The CHAQ clinically discriminated between healthy subjects and JIA patients, with the polyarticular and extended oligoarticular subtypes having a higher degree of disability, pain, and a lower overall well-being when compared to their healthy peers. Also the CHQ clinically discriminated between healthy subjects and JIA patients, with the polyarticular onset and extended oligoarticular subtypes having a lower physical and psychosocial well-being when compared to their healthy peers. In conclusion the Bulgarian version of the CHAQ-CHQ is a reliable, and valid tool for the functional, physical and psychosocial assessment of children with JIA.
我们在此报告两种与健康相关的生活质量工具家长版跨文化改编并验证为保加利亚语的结果。儿童健康评估问卷(CHAQ)是一种针对特定疾病的健康工具,用于测量幼年特发性关节炎(JIA)患儿的日常生活活动功能能力。儿童健康问卷(CHQ)是一种通用健康工具,旨在独立于潜在疾病来获取儿童的身体和心理社会福祉。保加利亚语版的CHAQ和CHQ通过1次正向翻译和1次反向翻译进行了全面验证。共纳入137名受试者:77例JIA患者(36%为全身型起病,30%为多关节型起病,4%为扩展性少关节型亚型,30%为持续性少关节型亚型)和60名健康儿童。CHAQ在临床上能够区分健康受试者和JIA患者,与健康同龄人相比,多关节型和扩展性少关节型亚型的残疾程度更高、疼痛更严重,总体幸福感更低。CHQ在临床上也能够区分健康受试者和JIA患者,与健康同龄人相比,多关节型起病和扩展性少关节型亚型的身体和心理社会福祉更低。总之,保加利亚语版的CHAQ-CHQ是用于JIA患儿功能、身体和心理社会评估的可靠且有效的工具。
