“…In addition, it is worth mentioning that the emotional aspect was the least compromised in this study, corroborating the findings in literature, due to the difficulty of individuals with CP to express their feelings and emotions to parents . In the present study, 82.5% of individuals with CP presented some communication difficulties.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that parents can provide valid information about the quality of life of children with CP when self-reporting is not feasible. 32,34,35 The mean HRQoL score was low, with greater impairment of physical capacity, followed by school, social, and emotional aspects. Low scores and greater impairment of physical ability compared to psychosocial aspects were also found in the pediatric population with CP in the United States, 32,33 Canada, 34 China, 35 Thailand, 36 and Turkey, 14 despite the social and cultural differences of each locality.…”

“…In their study, Emotional Functioning items in both child self- and parent reports do not split into two different factors. But the findings of factor analysis may be sample-specific, other studies showed different results too [27,48], this is why the factor structure should be reinvestigated in clinical samples. For the PedsQL Cancer Module, exploratory factor analysis identified 8 factors for child self-reports, replicating those of the original theoretical dimensions.…”

“…Briefly, the instruments were translated independently into Chinese by two professional translators (native Chinese speakers) and translated back into English by two English native speakers (bilingual in Chinese). Then, a comparison between the backward version and the original version was assessed in order to detect any misunderstandings or mistranslations in the intermediary forward version of the questionnaires [27,28]. 15 children with cancer participated in pilot testing along with their parents.…”

BackgroundThe Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) is widely used instrument to measure pediatric health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for children aged 2 to 18 years. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the feasibility, reliability and validity of the Chinese mandarin version of the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales and 3.0 Cancer Module in a group of Chinese children with cancer.MethodsThe PedsQL 4.0 Genetic Core Scales and the PedsQL 3.0 Cancer Module were administered to children with cancer (aged 5-18 years) and parents of such children (aged 2-18 years). For comparison, a survey on a demographically group-matched sample of the general population with children (aged 5-18) and parents of children (aged 2-18 years) was conducted with the PedsQL 4.0 Genetic Core Scales.ResultThe minimal mean percentage of missing item responses (except the School Functioning scale) supported the feasibility of the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales and 3.0 Cancer Module for Chinese children with cancer. Most of the scales showed satisfactory reliability with Cronbach's α of exceeding 0.70, and all scales demonstrated sufficient test-retest reliability. Assessing the clinical validity of the questionnaires, statistically significant difference was found between healthy children and children with cancer, and between children on-treatment versus off-treatment ≥12 months. Positive significant correlations were observed between the scores of the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scale and the PedsQL 3.0 Cancer Module. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated sufficient factorial validity. Moderate to good agreement was found between child self- and parent proxy-reports.ConclusionThe findings support the feasibility, reliability and validity of the Chinese Mandarin version of PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales and 3.0 Cancer Module in children with cancer living in mainland China.

“…Two subscales (‘restrictions’ and ‘emotions’) had items that loaded onto two or three factors. A possible reason for this may be that the sample size power is insufficient to detect expected associations between variables . Therefore, our results should be verified with a larger sample.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and the validity of the Chinese version of the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ). After translation and cross-cultural adaptation following international guidelines, 110 patients with dentine hypersensitivity were recruited to complete the questionnaire. The reliability of the Chinese version of the DHEQ was evaluated using internal consistency and test-retest methods. Construct validity was determined based on factor analysis, discriminative validity (by comparing the subscale scores difference in the degree of sensitivity being investigated), and convergent validity (by analyzing the correlation between DHEQ subscale scores and the global rating of oral health question). Cronbach's alpha value (internal reliability) for the total DHEQ score was 0.95 and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value (test-retest reliability) was 0.85. Construct validity was determined by factor analysis, extracting eight factors, accounting for 74% of the variance. All items had factor loadings of >0.40. In addition, the Chinese version of the DHEQ was found to be valid for distinguishing patients with varying degrees of dentine hypersensitivity. In terms of convergent validity, the impact scale was significantly highly correlated to the global oral health rating. The results suggest that the Chinese version of the DHEQ has satisfactory psychometric properties and is applicable for patients with dentine hypersensitivity in China.
