| Abstrakt: | Unlabelled: The authors report the validation process of the cardiac module of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL ) into Hungarian. Background: The PedsQL which is a modular instrument to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQL ) in children and adolescents of ages 2-18 years, comes up to the current professional requirements at a high level. There is no report on health-related quality of life measure in Hungary which was performed among children with heart disease. Objective: To adapt and to test a pediatric quality of life questionnaire for measuring HRQL in children with heart disease. Methods: Sequential validation process which follows international guidelines. Pilot-study on 105 children with heart disease. Results: According to the results of the pilot-study the psychic domains have a negative influence on general HRQL index in both child and parent-proxy reports in all age groups. On the cardiac module parents of children of all age groups but only children of ages 5-7 years reported marked treatment anxiety. Cognitive and communication problems are mainly important for children of ages 8-18 years. Parent-child concordance is depending on the age of the child, there was expressed difference in the psychosocial domains. We have found no negative effect of heart operation on HRQL by itself but taking medicine may impair it. Conclusion: Further methodologic research should evaluate the psychometric properties of the newly validated Hungarian version of the PedsQL cardiac module. The detailed report about the validation process can help in the spreading of patient reported outcome measures in Hungary. |
