Abstract

BACKGROUND

The Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey for Kids (WURSS-K) is a self-administered questionnaire developed to evaluate the severity of the common cold. It is a patient-oriented instrument that evaluates quality of life in an illness-specific manner to be used in children aged 10 years. The purpose of this study was to validate the Polish version of the Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey for Kids.

METHODS

The validation process consisted of five stages: forward translation, backward translation, cognitive debriefing, a pilot study (Study A and Study B), and statistical analysis. The first study (Study A, n = 10, aged 5-13) was conducted in the Emergency Room and an Outpatient Clinic of the Pediatric University Hospital in Warsaw. The purpose of the study was to obtain data for testing the convergent validity of the questionnaire. The second study (Study B, n = 56), consisted of children aged four to six enrolled in three kindergartens in the Warsaw suburbs. The obtained data were subjected to detailed statistical analysis.

RESULTS

The WURSS Kids Polish showed excellent reliability. The Cronbach's alpha of the 13 items was 0.791 for the six symptom items and 0.854 for the seven functional items. The Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test was used to evaluate criterion validity. Compliance of the measurement performed independently by the examined person and the doctor on the first day was high (convergent validity). Each particular item was characterized by a different sensitivity to clinical change. The Guyatt's Responsiveness index ranged from 0.083 to 0.464.

CONCLUSION

The internal consistency of the measurements and cross-cultural adaptation of the Polish version of WURSS Kids was satisfactory. The WURSS Kids Polish is a reliable, valid, and responsive disease-specific questionnaire for assessing symptoms and QOL in Polish patients in the pediatric population with the common cold. It may be used both in clinical practice and for research among Polish children with URTI.

摘要

背景

威斯康星州儿童上呼吸道症状调查（WURSS-K）是一种自我管理的问卷，用于评估普通感冒的严重程度。它是一种以患者为导向的工具，以疾病特异性的方式评估生活质量，适用于 10 岁儿童。本研究的目的是验证威斯康星州儿童上呼吸道症状调查的波兰语版本。

方法

验证过程包括五个阶段：正向翻译、反向翻译、认知审查、试点研究（研究 A 和研究 B）和统计分析。第一项研究（研究 A，n=10，年龄 5-13 岁）在华沙儿科大学医院的急诊室和门诊进行。该研究的目的是获得数据以测试问卷的收敛有效性。第二项研究（研究 B，n=56）由华沙郊区三所幼儿园的 4 至 6 岁儿童组成。获得的数据进行了详细的统计分析。

结果

WURSS Kids Polish 表现出优异的可靠性。六个症状项目的 13 个项目的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.791，七个功能项目的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.854。Jonckheere-Terpstra 趋势检验用于评估标准有效性。被检查者和医生在第一天独立进行的测量的一致性很高（收敛有效性）。每个特定项目的临床变化的敏感性都不同。Guyatt 的反应性指数范围为 0.083 至 0.464。
