This pilot study examined the relationship between youth and care provider self-reports of depressive symptoms assessed through the Patient Health Questionnaire and reports of youth physical and psychosocial functioning assessed by PedsQL4.0 in a rural outpatient overweight pediatric population (N = 66 child and care provider pairs). The relationship between youth body mass index (BMI), youth and care provider depression, youth quality of life (QOL), care provider perception of youth QOL, and youth and care provider congruence of QOL perceptions was examined. Paired t tests were completed to assess the differences between QOL scores for youth and care providers for subgroups based on age, age and gender, and age and race. The mean age of youth participants was 11.9 years; youth BMI ranged from 26.76 to 54.10 (M = 37.20). Our results showed that there are significant differences in youth and care providers' perceptions of QOL when specific demographic categories are assessed by age, gender, and race.
本研究旨在探讨青少年与照护者通过 PHQ-9 自评抑郁症状以及 PedsQL4.0 报告的青少年生理和心理社会功能之间的关系。该研究在农村门诊超重儿科人群中（N = 66 名儿童和照护者对）进行了调查。研究分析了青少年的体重指数（BMI）、青少年和照护者的抑郁情况、青少年的生活质量（QOL）、照护者对青少年 QOL 的感知以及青少年和照护者 QOL 感知的一致性之间的关系。采用配对 t 检验评估了基于年龄、年龄和性别以及年龄和种族的亚组的青少年和照护者 QOL 得分之间的差异。参与者的平均年龄为 11.9 岁；青少年 BMI 范围从 26.76 到 54.10（M = 37.20）。结果表明，当按年龄、性别和种族评估特定人口统计学类别时，青少年和照护者对 QOL 的看法存在显著差异。
