This study presents additional psychometric testing of the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Kids (IWQOL-Kids) with aims to establish distribution-based minimal clinically important difference scores (MCIDs) and evaluate test-retest reliability. Participants (N=263) represent a pooled sample of treatment-seeking obese adolescents (aged 11-19 years) from four large studies examining health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and psychosocial outcomes (Mz(BMI)=2.6 ± 0.4; M(age)=15.1 ± 1.9; 64% female; 51% Black, 46% White). Adolescents completed the IWQOL-Kids©. Standard errors of measurement, which represent the MCID for each scale, were: Physical Comfort=8.8; Body Esteem=7.7; Social Life=8.1; Family Relations=6.2; Total QOL =4.8. Test-retest reliabilities ranged from 0.75-0.88. These data provide further support for the excellent psychometric properties of the IWQOL-Kids. In addition, preliminary MCIDs for IWQOL-Kids scales have now been established, which can be used in clinical trials.
本研究对儿童生活质量受体重影响量表(IWQOL-Kids)进行了额外的心理测量测试,旨在建立基于分布的最小临床重要差异分数(MCIDs)并评估重测信度。参与者(N = 263)来自四项大型研究中寻求治疗的肥胖青少年(11 - 19岁)的汇总样本,这些研究考察了健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)和心理社会结果(Mz(BMI)= 2.6±0.4;M(年龄)= 15.1±1.9;64%为女性;51%为黑人,46%为白人)。青少年完成了儿童生活质量受体重影响量表(IWQOL-Kids©)。代表每个量表MCID的测量标准误为:身体舒适度 = 8.8;身体自尊 = 7.7;社交生活 = 8.1;家庭关系 = 6.2;总体生活质量 = 4.8。重测信度范围为0.75 - 0.88。这些数据为儿童生活质量受体重影响量表(IWQOL-Kids)出色的心理测量特性提供了进一步支持。此外,现已建立了儿童生活质量受体重影响量表各分量表的初步MCIDs,可用于临床试验。
