BACKGROUND
The self-perceived health or health-related quality of life of children and adolescents is increasingly recognised as a relevant outcome in medical practice and public health research. Identifying children and adolescents with particularly low health-related quality of life allows for an early detection of hidden morbidity and health care needs.
OBJECTIVES
The present study investigates health-related quality of life in children and adolescents in Germany.
METHODS
In the Mental Health Module (BELLA study) of the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS), the parents of 2,863 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years, and 1,700 children and adolescents aged 11-17 years completed the KINDL-R quality of life questionnaire.
RESULTS
The reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.86) and validity of the measurements using the parent-reported KINDL-R were confirmed. Means and percentiles were calculated for the total sample as well as for strata defined by age, sex, geographical region (east/west), migration status and socioeconomic status. Expected differences in health-related quality of life of children and adolescents from different social backgrounds and with different health statuses were demonstrated by differences in the KINDL-R scores (effect size d up to 1.29).
CONCLUSION
This study provides representative, normative data (self-report and parent-report) on the test scores of health-related quality of life (KINDL-R) for the population of children and adolescents in Germany in general, as well as in sociodemographic and socioeconomic subpopulations.
背景
儿童和青少年的自我感知健康或与健康相关的生活质量在医学实践和公共卫生研究中越来越被视为一个相关结果。识别出健康相关生活质量特别低的儿童和青少年有助于早期发现潜在疾病和医疗需求。
目的
本研究调查德国儿童和青少年的健康相关生活质量。
方法
在德国儿童和青少年全国健康访谈与检查调查（KiGGS）的心理健康模块（BELLA研究）中，2863名7至17岁儿童和青少年的父母，以及1700名11至17岁儿童和青少年完成了儿童生活质量问卷（KINDL-R）。
结果
证实了使用父母报告的KINDL-R进行测量的信度（Cronbach's alpha = 0.86）和效度。计算了总样本以及按年龄、性别、地理区域（东部/西部）、移民身份和社会经济地位定义的分层的均值和百分位数。KINDL-R分数的差异表明了来自不同社会背景和具有不同健康状况的儿童和青少年在健康相关生活质量方面的预期差异（效应大小d高达1.29）。
结论
本研究提供了关于德国儿童和青少年总体人群以及社会人口和社会经济亚人群的健康相关生活质量（KINDL-R）测试分数的代表性、规范性数据（自我报告和父母报告）。
