Aim: To describe the process of linguistic and content validity of the Swedish version of the PedsQL™ Gastrointestinal Symptoms Scales and Symptoms Module, measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children with gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.Methods: The establishment of linguistic and content validity was carried out in compliance with international standards on patient-reported outcome measurements. The process included forward translation, expert review and reconciliation, backward translation, backward translation review and interviews with 15 children aged 5-18 years with GI tract symptoms and 20 parents of children with GI tract symptoms aged 2-18 years.Results: The Swedish version of the PedsQL™ Gastrointestinal Symptoms Scales and Symptoms Module (child report 5-18 years, parent report for children 2-18 years) was achieved without major difficulties. Eight issues needed discussion after forward translation, and there was one change after backward translation and three revisions following patient and parent testing.Conclusion: A conceptually equivalent Swedish language version of PedsQL™ Gastrointestinal Symptoms Scale and Symptoms Module for children aged 2-18 years old was developed. This enables improved HRQOL evaluations in children with GI disorders in Sweden. Future research using a larger sample is recommended to evaluate validity and reliability of the Swedish language version of the module. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
