          Abstract

          Resumen El propósito de este estudio es presentar una aproximación sobre el constructo calidad de vida relacionada con la salud infantil. Para esto se menciona el desarrollo histórico del concepto de calidad de vida hasta llegar al constructo CvRs en niños y adolescentes, retomando los instrumentos de medida que han sido adaptados y validados para evaluar la CVRSI en idioma español en muestras poblacionales de niños con alguna patología y los dominios que lo conforman, enfatizándose un modelo conceptual que describe las dimensiones y factores asociados con la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en las etapas de la niñez a la adolescencia para luego describir las temáticas que recientemente se han estudiado en el área. Por último, se plantea la necesidad del desarrollo de más investigaciones, especialmente en América Latina abordados desde las ciencias sociales, ya que la investigación ha estado focalizada en el ámbito de la medicina pediátrica con énfasis en las manifestaciones físicas.

          Abstract The following is a review of evidence-based literature on the construct health-related quality of life infantile. There is described the historical and conceptual development of this term up to coming to the first studies in the infancy. It mentions the development of measuring instruments that have been adapted and validated to assess the health-related quality of life infantile in Spanish language so much generic as specifics and the domains that shape them. There is defined a conceptual model who describes the dimensions and factors associated with health-related quality of life in the stages of the childhood and the adolescence. And there are described the subject matters that recently have been studied in the field. Finally, there is a need of researches development, especially in Latin America approached from the social sciences, since the research has been focused in the field of the pediatric medicine, with emphasis on the physical manifestations.

          PedsQL 4.0: reliability and validity of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory version 4.0 generic core scales in healthy and patient populations.

          The PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) (Children's Hospital and Health Center, San Diego, California) is a modular instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children and adolescents ages 2 to 18. The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales are multidimensional child self-report and parent proxy-report scales developed as the generic core measure to be integrated with the PedsQL Disease-Specific Modules. The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales consist of 23 items applicable for healthy school and community populations, as well as pediatric populations with acute and chronic health conditions. The 4 PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales (Physical, Emotional, Social, School) were administered to 963 children and 1,629 parents (1,677 subjects accrued overall) recruited from pediatric health care settings. Item-level and scale-level measurement properties were computed. Internal consistency reliability for the Total Scale Score (alpha = 0.88 child, 0.90 parent report), Physical Health Summary Score (alpha = 0.80 child, 0.88 parent), and Psychosocial Health Summary Score (alpha = 0.83 child, 0.86 parent) were acceptable for group comparisons. Validity was demonstrated using the known-groups method, correlations with indicators of morbidity and illness burden, and factor analysis. The PedsQL distinguished between healthy children and pediatric patients with acute or chronic health conditions, was related to indicators of morbidity and illness burden, and displayed a factor-derived solution largely consistent with the a priori conceptually-derived scales. The results demonstrate the reliability and validity of the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales. The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales may be applicable in clinical trials, research, clinical practice, school health settings, and community populations.

            The PedsQL: measurement model for the pediatric quality of life inventory.

            Pediatric patients' self-report of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has emerged as an important patient-based health outcome. A practical, validated generic measure of HRQOL facilitates assessing risk, tracking health status, and measuring treatment outcomes in pediatric populations. The PedsQL is a brief, standardized, generic assessment instrument that systematically assesses patients' and parents' perceptions of HRQOL in pediatric patients with chronic health conditions using pediatric cancer as an exemplary model. The PedsQL is based on a modular approach to measuring HRQOL and consists of a 15-item core measure of global HRQOL and eight supplemental modules assessing specific symptom or treatment domains. The PedsQL was empirically derived from data collected from 291 pediatric cancer patients and their parents at various stages of treatment. Both reliability and validity were determined. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the core measure (alpha = .83 for patient and alpha = .86 for parent) were acceptable for group comparisons. Alphas for the patient self-report modules generally ranged from .70 to .89. Discriminant or clinical validity, using the known-groups approach, was demonstrated for patients on- versus off-treatments. The 11 scales showed small-to-medium positive intercorrelations, supporting the multidimensional measurement model. Further construct validity was demonstrated via a multimethod-multitrait matrix using standardized psychosocial questionnaires. The results support the PedsQL as a reliable and valid measure of HRQOL. The PedsQL core and modular design makes it flexible enough to be used in a variety of research and clinical applications for pediatric chronic health conditions.

              Translating health status questionnaires and evaluating their quality: the IQOLA Project approach. International Quality of Life Assessment.

              This article describes the methods adopted by the International Quality of Life Assessment (IQOLA) project to translate the SF-36 Health Survey. Translation methods included the production of forward and backward translations, use of difficulty and quality ratings, pilot testing, and cross-cultural comparison of the translation work. Experience to date suggests that the SF-36 can be adapted for use in other countries with relatively minor changes to the content of the form, providing support for the use of these translations in multinational clinical trials and other studies. The most difficult items to translate were physical functioning items, which used examples of activities and distances that are not common outside of the United States; items that used colloquial expressions such as pep or blue; and the social functioning items. Quality ratings were uniformly high across countries. While the IQOLA approach to translation and validation was developed for use with the SF-36, it is applicable to other translation efforts.
