This research was carried out to adapt the Symptom Screening in Pediatrics Tool for Turkish children with cancer aged 4-7 years, and to evaluate its validity and reliability. This study, which was descriptive and methodological, was conducted on 159 children receiving cancer treatments between June 2021 and December 2021. Data collection tools included a socio-demographic form and the Symptom Screening in Pediatrics Tool for children aged 4-7 years (mini-SSPedi). Data were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha, factor analysis, and item-total score analysis. There were 15 items on the mini-SSPedi, and it had one dimension. The results of the exploratory factor analysis indicated that total factor loading was >0.30 and that the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.831. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the fit indices were χ/sd: 1.739 (p=0.000), GFI 0.895, CFI 0.919, TLI 0.897, RMSEA 0.068 and SRMR 0.064. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total scale was 0.846. The correlation between the items and total scale score ranged between 0.411 and 0.749. The mini-SSPedi was found to be a valid and reliable scale for the Turkish sample. The mini-SSPedi can contribute to determination of symptom screening in children with cancer aged 4-7 years.
本研究旨在使《儿科症状筛查工具》适用于4至7岁的土耳其癌症患儿，并评估其有效性和可靠性。本研究为描述性和方法学研究，于2021年6月至2021年12月对159名接受癌症治疗的儿童进行。数据收集工具包括一份社会人口学表格和针对4至7岁儿童的《儿科症状筛查工具》（mini-SSPedi）。使用克朗巴哈系数、因子分析和项目总分分析对数据进行分析。mini-SSPedi有15个项目，且为单维度。探索性因子分析结果表明，总因子载荷>0.30，凯泽-迈耶-奥尔金值为0.831。验证性因子分析表明，拟合指数为χ/sd：1.739（p=0.000），GFI为0.895，CFI为0.919，TLI为0.897，RMSEA为0.068，SRMR为0.064。总量表的克朗巴哈系数为0.846。各项目与总量表得分之间的相关性在0.411至0.749之间。发现mini-SSPedi对土耳其样本而言是一个有效且可靠的量表。mini-SSPedi有助于确定4至7岁癌症患儿的症状筛查情况。
