Abstract

The aim of the study was to obtain a conceptually equivalent Spanish version of the Child Health and Illness Profile-Adolescent Edition (CHIP-AE), and to test its feasibility, reliability and preliminary construct validity. The methodology used for adaptation was forward-back translation, including two focus groups with adolescents and a panel of experts. Reliability and validity were assessed in healthy convenience samples from school settings (n = 417). Three different illness groups (n = 67) were used to examine differences in health status between healthy, acutely ill, chronically ill and mentally ill adolescents. Preliminary construct validity was examined by comparing mean scores for each of the subdomains to determine if they differed in predicted ways according to age, gender and illness group. The majority of items (154 out of 203) were conceptually equivalent to the original version. Some items (46) had to be modified to increase clarity and/or to adapt them for use in Spain and 3 items were considered not applicable. Single construct subdomains achieved alpha coefficients between 0.65 and 0.92, and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) between 0.57 and 0.93. The mentally ill group presented the worst scores in most domains. The Spanish CHIP-AE is acceptable for Spanish adolescents and shows adequate metric characteristics, which are similar to those reported in the US version.

Validity and Reliability Testing of a Quality of Life Measurement Instrument “Child Health and Illness Profile-CHIP-AE” For Adolescents Aged Between 12 and 17

“…After this was confirmed by CFA, these items were removed from the Turkish version of the instrument. Subdomains in the Turkish version are analogous to the US and Spanish versions (13,15,24,25). The scores related to the risks domain were lower compared to the scores in the US and Spanish versions.…”

“…The field of Disorders describes biomedically defined physical and mental disease states. Items are answered on a four-point or five-point Likert-type scale (25). The high score from the measurement tool; determines better satisfaction, success and endurance.…”

Reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Child Health and Illness Profile (CHIP) Child-Edition, Parent Report Form (CHIP-CE/PRF)

“…The Spanish version of the CHIP-CE/PRF was developed in parallel to the child version, following international guidelines for cross-cultural adaptations [13]. As most of the items come from the adolescent version (CHIP-AE), which was previously adapted in Spain [10], only minor rewording and revision for proxy administration were needed. No cognitive interviews or pilot tests were carried out, since it was assumed that if children and teenagers were able to understand the instrument, parents would also understand it.…”

“…One such measure is the Child Health and Illness Profile (CHIP)-Child Edition(CHIP-CE) [7,8], an instrument that collects self-reported and parent-reported health information about children aged 6 to 11. The adolescent version of the CHIP (CHIP-Adolescent Edition, CHIP-AE) [9], which is based on the same conceptual framework as the child version, has been translated into Spanish, culturally adapted, and validated [10,11]. The CHIP-CE has also been translated and adapted in Spain [12] following the international guidelines for cross-cultural adaptations [13].…”
