“…Several studies using self-administered questionnaires have assessed self-perception or self-esteem in students from elementary through junior high school. A study using Kid-KINDL and Kiddo-KINDL in Japanese elementary and junior high school students showed that school life (scholastic) and self-esteem domains decreased markedly with age, whereas friends (social) domain did not [ 21 , 22 ]. In contrast, another study found no marked changes with age [ 17 ].…”

“…The Children’s Perceived Competence Scale (CPCS) in this study is a revised Japanese version of the Perceived Competence Scale for Children (PCSC) developed by Harter which is a well-known worldwide multi-dimensional questionnaires [ 20 ]. Although several questionnaires in Japanese are used to assess self-perceived competence, quality of life, and self-esteem, few of these measures show good reliability and validity for children of both elementary and junior high school age [ 21 , 22 ].…”

BackgroundIt is important for children to maintain high self-perceived competence and self-esteem, and there are few measures to evaluate them through elementary to junior high school days in Japan. To evaluate psychometric properties of the Children’s Perceived Competence Scale (CPCS).MethodsData were collected from 697 elementary school and 956 junior high school students. Some of these students completed measures for construct validity, whereas others repeated the CPCS.ResultsThe results demonstrated the three-factor structure of the CPCS: cognitive (nine items), social (eight items) and physical (nine items). Factorial invariance was confirmed between elementary and junior high school students, as well as between boys and girls. Construct validity was excellent. Scores on the cognitive, physical and general self-worth domains declined with increasing age. Boys scored significantly higher than girls on physical and general self-worth domains.ConclusionsThe CPCS is a valid and reliable measure of perceived competence in Japanese children aged 6–15 years. The CPCS may be applied to students from elementary through junior high school days as a measure of self-perceived and psychological state in Japan.

“…In this study, Quality of Life (QOL) is a measure of comprehensive life satisfaction that combines an individual’s feelings of satisfaction about: their physical and mental health, human relationships, family, education, safety, freedom, and the environment [ 13 ]. QOL serves as an indicator in policy evaluation, and improving children’s QOL is regarded as important from the viewpoint of children’s human rights [ 14 ].…”

BackgroundA good quality of life (QOL) is important for the physical and mental well-being of all children. However, young people who live in an institutional setting may face different challenges than those who are raised in a traditional family. While a few quantitative studies of institutionalized children’s QOL have been conducted, no research has investigated the QOL of young people living in Children’s Homes (CHs) in Japan. This research compared the QOL of children and adolescents in Japan who live in CHs with that of children and adolescents living in traditional families.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2016 with 204 students (grades three through nine), 47 of whom lived in a CH, and 157 of whom lived in a traditional family. Ages ranged from 8 to 15 years (CH: 55.8% Female, 44.2% Male; Traditional: 54.1% Female, 45.9% Male). Participants answered the kid-Kinder Lebensqualität Fragebogen (Translated from German: Children’s quality of life questionnaire; KINDL®) Japanese Version, which covers six subscales of QOL; they filled in the questionnaires at home. Analysis of variance was used to compare QOL between the two samples.ResultsThe total QOL score for all students (combined elementary school students and junior high school students) from CHs was statistically significantly lower than that for students from traditional families. Scores for the subscales, emotional well-being and family, were also significantly lower for CH young people than for those in traditional families. While elementary pupils in CHs reported lower QOL than those in traditional families, no significant differences in QOL were seen between junior high school students from CHs and their peers from traditional families.ConclusionsThe findings presented support previous research showing that the QOL of elementary school students living in CHs is significantly lower than that of their peers in traditional families. However, this difference was not observed among junior high school students. This contrast suggests that QOL changes with age. Future research is needed to evaluate the determinants of QOL among all generations and family contexts.

“…In addition, research conducted within a general population can help identify at-risk children who may be subject to child abuse, neglect, disrupted families, or other problems within the community [3]. Some children also deal with bullying, developmental disorders [4], poor peer relations [5], and other problems in school. HRQOL measures can be used to identify hidden or unexpected health problems, evaluate health service needs, and thereby influence public policy decisions such that early prevention and, if necessary, intervention to address these concerns is a possibility [1].…”

Objectives The present study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of KID-SCREEN-52 (J-KIDSCREEN-52), a generic questionnaire used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among children/adolescents and parents/proxies. Methods We conducted a school-based study, in which 1564 children and adolescents aged 8-18 years and their 1326 parents participated from five schools. They were asked to complete two questionnaires (the J-KIDSCREEN-52 and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL)), and the Oslo 3-Item Social Support (OSS-3) scale. Internal consistency reliability was measured using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Test-retest reliability was assessed by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) in the one-way random effects model in sub-samples taken approximately three to four weeks apart. Agreement between the ratings of the child and parent was evaluated using the ICC in the two-way mixed effects model among 681 pairs. Results For the overall sample, Cronbach's alpha values of 10 dimensions were C0.70, except for one dimension. Test-retest ICCs were C0.60 for nearly all dimensions. Correlation coefficients between the J-KIDSCREEN-52 and the PedsQL dimensions indicated a reasonable convergent validity. Parent ratings corresponded well with child ratings (ICC = 0.38-0.62). Statistically significant differences in mean T scores were dependent on gender for seven dimensions, age group for all dimensions, and health status for two dimensions. Conclusions The J-KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaires child/adolescent and parent/proxy versions demonstrated acceptable levels of reliability and validity.
