There are many methods available for measuring social support and quality of life (QoL) of adolescents, of these, the KIDSCREEN tools are most widely used. Thus, we aimed to translate and validate the KIDSCREEN-27 scale for the usage among adolescents aged between 10 and 19 years old in Slovenia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 2852 adolescents in primary and secondary school from November 2019 to January 2020 in Slovenia. 6-steps method of validation was used to test psychometric properties of the KIDSCREEN-27 scale. We checked descriptive statistics, performed a Mokken scale analysis, parametric item response theory, factor analysis, classical test theory and total (sub)scale scores.
All five subscales of the KIDSCREEN-27 formed a unidimensional scale with good homogeneity and reliability. The confirmatory factor analysis showed poor fit in user model versus baseline model metrics (CFI = 0.847; TLI = 0.862) and good fit in root mean square error (RMSEA = 0.072; p(χ) < 0.001). A scale reliability was calculated using Cronbach's α (0.93), beta (0.86), G6 (0.95) and omega (0.93).
The questionnaire showed average psychometric properties and can be used among adolescents in Slovenia to find out about their quality of life. Further research is needed to explore why fit in user model metrics is poor.
有许多方法可用于测量青少年的社会支持和生活质量（QoL），其中 KIDSCREEN 工具应用最为广泛。因此，我们旨在翻译和验证 KIDSCREEN-27 量表，以用于斯洛文尼亚 10 至 19 岁青少年。
我们于 2019 年 11 月至 2020 年 1 月在斯洛文尼亚的中小学中开展了一项横断面研究，共纳入 2852 名青少年。采用 6 步验证法来测试 KIDSCREEN-27 量表的心理测量学特性。我们检查了描述性统计数据、Mokken 量表分析、参数项目反应理论、因子分析、经典测试理论和总（子）量表得分。
KIDSCREEN-27 的所有 5 个分量表都形成了一个具有良好同质性和可靠性的单一维度量表。验证性因子分析显示，用户模型与基线模型指标的拟合较差（CFI=0.847；TLI=0.862），而在均方根误差（RMSEA=0.072；p(χ)<0.001）方面拟合较好。采用 Cronbach's α（0.93）、β（0.86）、G6（0.95）和 ω（0.93）计算量表的可靠性。
该问卷具有平均的心理测量学特性，可用于斯洛文尼亚的青少年以了解其生活质量。需要进一步研究以探讨为什么用户模型指标的拟合较差。
