The Health Outcomes Burn Questionnaire (HOBQ) is a self-administered questionnaire to monitor outcome after burns in young children. This study aimed to assess feasibility, reliability and validity of the Dutch version of the HOBQ. The HOBQ was adapted into Dutch and tested in a population of children aged 0-4 years with a primary admission to a Dutch burn centre in March 2001-February 2004. Parents of 413 children were sent a questionnaire. To assess validity, a generic outcome instrument was included, the Infant Toddler Quality of Life Questionnaire (ITQOL). The response rate was 50.0% (n=196). Mean self-reported completion time was 16.7 min. The internal consistency of all the HOBQ-scales was good (Cronbach's alpha's>0.69). Test-retest results showed no differences in 7 out of 10 scales. High correlations between HOBQ-scales and conceptually equivalent ITQOL and scales were found in 5 out of 7 comparisons. The majority of the HOBQ-scales (7 out of 10) showed significant differences in the expected direction between children with a long versus short length of stay. Our data support the reliability and validity of the Dutch HOBQ. The HOBQ can be used as a research tool, to monitor functional outcome after burns in young children. Further research in other samples is recommend to fully establish the reliability and validity of the HOBQ.
健康结局烧伤问卷（HOBQ）是一份用于监测幼儿烧伤后结局的自填式问卷。本研究旨在评估荷兰语版HOBQ的可行性、可靠性和有效性。HOBQ被改编为荷兰语版本，并在2001年3月至2004年2月首次入住荷兰烧伤中心的0至4岁儿童群体中进行测试。向413名儿童的家长发送了问卷。为评估有效性，纳入了一份通用结局工具，即婴幼儿生活质量问卷（ITQOL）。回复率为50.0%（n = 196）。自我报告的平均完成时间为16.7分钟。所有HOBQ量表的内部一致性良好（Cronbach's alpha系数>0.69）。重测结果显示，10个量表中有7个无差异。在7项比较中有5项发现HOBQ量表与概念上等效的ITQOL及量表之间存在高度相关性。大多数HOBQ量表（10个中有7个）在住院时间长与短的儿童之间呈现出预期方向的显著差异。我们的数据支持荷兰语版HOBQ的可靠性和有效性。HOBQ可作为一种研究工具，用于监测幼儿烧伤后的功能结局。建议在其他样本中进行进一步研究，以全面确立HOBQ的可靠性和有效性。
