This study was planned in an attempt to develop scales for the assessment of fatigue in pediatric oncology patients aged 13-18 and also for their parents.
In collecting the study data, we used the Child and Parent Information Form, Visual Fatigue Scale, Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18 and the Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18 for Parents. We also used Pearson correlation analysis, Cronbach alpha coefficient, factor analysis and ROC analysis for the study data.
In this study, the total Cronbach alpha value of the parent form was 0.99, the total factor load was 0.72-0.94 with 95% the total variance being explained. The cutoff point of the parent form is 73 points. The total Cronbach alpha value of the child form was 0.99, the total factor load was 0.82-0.95, with 89.4% of the total variance being explained. The cutoff point of the child form was 75.5 points.
This study suggests that the Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18 and the Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18 for Parents are valid and reliable instruments in assessing the fatigue symptoms of children in Turkey.
本研究旨在开发用于评估13 - 18岁儿科肿瘤患者及其父母疲劳程度的量表。
在收集研究数据时，我们使用了儿童与家长信息表、视觉疲劳量表、13 - 18岁儿科肿瘤患者疲劳评估量表以及13 - 18岁儿科肿瘤患者家长疲劳评估量表。我们还对研究数据进行了Pearson相关分析、Cronbach阿尔法系数分析、因子分析和ROC分析。
在本研究中，家长版量表的总Cronbach阿尔法值为0.99，总因子负荷为0.72 - 0.94，解释了95%的总方差。家长版量表的临界值为73分。儿童版量表的总Cronbach阿尔法值为0.99，总因子负荷为0.82 - 0.95，解释了89.4%的总方差。儿童版量表的临界值为75.5分。
本研究表明，13 - 18岁儿科肿瘤患者疲劳评估量表和13 - 18岁儿科肿瘤患者家长疲劳评估量表是评估土耳其儿童疲劳症状有效且可靠的工具。
