“…20 The main outcome was QOL, measured using the Child Epilepsy QOL Questionnaire, 21 developed for children with epilepsy and subsequently validated in multiple studies and languages. [21][22][23][24][25] The questionnaire has 25 items and includes the epilepsy-specific QOL domains of Intrapersonal, Secrecy, Interpersonal, Present Worries, and Normality. 21 To measure child mental health, we used standardized scales that assessed both externalizing problems (attention problems, oppositional behavior, and conduct problems) and internalizing problems (mood and anxiety).…”

Objective: To study child mental health, parental support, and social support of children with epilepsy as these relate to quality of life (QOL) using child self-report, seizure-related variables, and estimated verbal intelligence based on receptive vocabulary. Methods:A cross-sectional structural equation model of baseline data from the QUALITÉ cohort study, which includes 6 Canadian child epilepsy ambulatory programs. A sample of 3,481 children were screened for the following eligibility: 8 to 14 years of age, with active or medicationmanaged epilepsy. Of 894 eligible children, 506 agreed to participate, of whom 26 were then excluded because of an inability to self-report based on a standard cutoff score of receptive vocabulary lower than 70. The primary outcome of child-reported QOL was measured using the Child Epilepsy QOL Questionnaire.

“…It was apparent that there were relatively large and statistically significant correlations in CWE À LD in Scales 1, 2 and 3 of the CHEQOL-25 questionnaire. A completely different result occurred in the CWE + LD group, in which most correlations were very close to 0 with one exception in the Scale 3, which is closely connected to school issues (Brabcová et al, 2014).…”

“…The psychometric properties of the modified Czech version were determined in an adaptational study (Brabcová , Kršek, Kohout, & Zá rubová , 2014) and are fully satisfactory. The questionnaire consists of a total of 23 questions, with answers on a 4-point scale (1-4 points).…”

“…EFA based on polychoric correlations was performed and the number of factors was not restricted because no information about factorial structure of the original questionnaire was known. The particular parameters of the analysis were established based on the evaluation described in our previous study [ 18 ]. It was shown ( Fig 1 ) that eigenvalues higher than 1 were found for the first 4 factors; however, the value for 5th factor was close to 1.…”

Psychometric properties of the Czech version of the Stigma Scale of Epilepsy

Although significant attention has been devoted to analyzing stigma associated with epilepsy, there is still a significant lack of valid and reliable instruments. We aimed to validate the 23-item Czech version of the Stigma Scale of Epilepsy (SSE; originally developed in Brazil), which has been used to evaluate epilepsy-related stigma in the general population. Verification of the SSE questionnaire was carried out in a group of 207 students aged 15–18 years of whom none had epilepsy. These students completed the SSE twice in a period of 3–6 months as part of standard test-retest evaluation practice. The instrument exhibits good psychometric properties including internal consistency higher than in the original version (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.856 here compared with 0.81 reported in Brazil) and acceptable test-retest reliability. Using exploratory factor analysis (not provided for the original version), four factors were identified and corresponding subscales were described and interpreted. Two items did not fit into the structure and were eliminated. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to propose and verify the hierarchical 4-factor structure of the Czech version of SSE confirming the existence of a common factor corresponding to stigma. The results showed that the Czech version of SSE has good psychometric properties and can be used in further research and clinical practice.
