This study describes the development and reports the first psychometric results of the European KIDSCREEN-52 generic health-related quality-of-life questionnaire for children and adolescents. The KIDSCREEN-52, including ten dimensions, was applied in a European survey involving 12 countries (i.e., Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Hungary, The Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the UK) and 22,110 children and adolescents aged between 8 and 18 years of age. Questionnaire development included a literature search, expert consultation, and focus group discussions with children and adolescents. After definition of dimensions and collection of items, a translation process following international translation guidelines, cognitive interviews and a pilot test were performed. Analysis regarding psychometric properties showed Cronbach-alpha ranged from 0.77 to 0.89. Correlation coefficients between KINDL(R) and KIDSCREEN-52 dimensions were high for those assessing similar constructs (r = 0.51-0.68). All KIDSCREEN-52 dimensions showed a gradient according to socioeconomic status and most dimensions showed a gradient according to psychosomatic health complaints. The first results demonstrate that the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire is a promising cross-cultural measure of health-related quality-of-life assessment for children and adolescents in Europe.
本研究描述了欧洲 KIDSCREEN-52 儿童和青少年通用健康相关生活质量问卷的开发，并报告了其首个心理测量学结果。KIDSCREEN-52 包括十个维度，应用于一项涉及 12 个国家（奥地利、瑞士、捷克共和国、德国、希腊、西班牙、法国、匈牙利、荷兰、波兰、瑞典和英国）的欧洲调查中，共有 22110 名 8 至 18 岁的儿童和青少年参与。问卷开发包括文献检索、专家咨询以及与儿童和青少年的焦点小组讨论。在定义维度和收集项目后，按照国际翻译指南进行了翻译过程、认知访谈和试点测试。关于心理测量学特性的分析显示，Cronbach-α 系数范围为 0.77 至 0.89。评估相似结构的 KINDL(R) 和 KIDSCREEN-52 维度之间的相关系数较高（r = 0.51-0.68）。所有 KIDSCREEN-52 维度都表现出根据社会经济地位的梯度，而且大多数维度都表现出根据身心健康投诉的梯度。初步结果表明，KIDSCREEN-52 问卷是一种有前途的跨文化儿童和青少年健康相关生活质量评估工具，适用于欧洲。
