Examining health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is important to improve patient care. In this study, we translate and evaluate the Finnish versions of the Food Allergy Specific Quality of Life Questionnaires (FAQLQs) from a Finnish perspective and undertake a detailed evaluation of the 10-question Parent Form Questionnaire (FAQLQ-PF10).
This validation study was performed to evaluate the Finnish versions of the FAQLQs. Validation was performed by analysing clinical characteristics, factor loadings and Cronbach's α reliability estimates. The inclusion criteria for participants in this study were having a doctor-diagnosed food allergy or being a parent of a child with a doctor-diagnosed food allergy and being able to answer the questionnaire in Finnish.
Altogether, 247 questionnaires were completed in this study. Most of the respondents had multiple food allergies (77%, 189/247). Spearman's correlations related to the 10-question parent form (FAQLQ-PF10), the 30-question parent form (FAQLQ-PF) and the Food Allergy Severity Measurement-Parent Form (FAIM-PF) were statistically significant (p value = 0.000-0.007). The reliability of the Finnish versions of the FAQLQs measured by Cronbach's α was overall good (0.75-0.981).
The Finnish versions of the FAQLQs are reliable and suitable to use, and the FAQLQ-PF10 has good usability.
检查健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）对于改善患者护理很重要。在本研究中，我们从芬兰视角翻译并评估了食物过敏特定生活质量问卷（FAQLQs）的芬兰语版本，并对10题家长版问卷（FAQLQ-PF10）进行了详细评估。
进行这项验证研究以评估FAQLQs的芬兰语版本。通过分析临床特征、因子载荷和克朗巴哈α信度估计值来进行验证。本研究参与者的纳入标准是患有医生诊断的食物过敏或为患有医生诊断食物过敏的儿童的家长，并且能够用芬兰语回答问卷。
本研究共完成了247份问卷。大多数受访者有多种食物过敏（77%，189/247）。与10题家长版（FAQLQ-PF10）、30题家长版（FAQLQ-PF）和食物过敏严重程度测量家长版（FAIM-PF）相关的斯皮尔曼相关性具有统计学意义（p值 = 0.000 - 0.007）。用克朗巴哈α测量的FAQLQs芬兰语版本的信度总体良好（0.75 - 0.981）。
FAQLQs的芬兰语版本可靠且适合使用，并且FAQLQ-PF10具有良好的可用性。
