Before the Chinese version of the Pediatric Quality-of-Life Inventory Cancer Module can be used to assess the multidimensional construct of quality of life among Hong Kong Chinese pediatric patients with cancer, its psychometric properties need to be further empirically tested.
The objectives of the study were to establish the construct validity, including hypothesis testing and a confirmatory factor analysis of factor structure, of the Chinese version of the Pediatric Quality-of-Life Inventory Cancer Module.
A cross-sectional study was used; 200 children hospitalized with cancer (9- to 16-year-olds) were recruited. Participants were asked to respond to the Chinese version of the Cancer Module, Therapy-Related Symptom Checklist, and Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale.
The results showed that there was a strong positive correlation between children's self-esteem and quality of life (r = 0.50) and a strong negative correlation between children's therapy-related symptoms and quality of life (r = -0.65). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that there were 7 factors underlying the Chinese version of the Cancer Module.
The study added further evidence of the construct validity of the Chinese version of the Cancer Module, patient version.
The Cancer Module can be used to assess and evaluate psychological interventions directed toward promoting the quality of life of children hospitalized with cancer.
在将中文版儿科生存质量测定量表癌症模块用于评估香港华裔癌症患儿的多维生存质量结构之前，需要进一步对其进行实证检验。
本研究旨在建立中文版儿科生存质量测定量表癌症模块的结构效度，包括假设检验和因子结构的验证性因子分析。
采用横断面研究，招募了 200 名住院癌症患儿（9-16 岁）。要求参与者回答中文版癌症模块、治疗相关症状清单和罗森伯格自尊量表。
结果表明，儿童的自尊与生存质量之间存在很强的正相关（r = 0.50），儿童的治疗相关症状与生存质量之间存在很强的负相关（r = -0.65）。验证性因子分析表明，中文版癌症模块有 7 个潜在因素。
本研究进一步证实了中文版癌症模块的结构效度，患者版本。
癌症模块可用于评估和评估针对促进住院癌症患儿生存质量的心理干预。
