“…25 TAPQOL is a generic, non-disease specific and multidimensional quality-of-life tool for measuring parents' perceptions of health-related quality of life in preschool children, with an acceptable reliability and validity. [26][27][28] In general, an ideal disability weight would have been generated specifically from the EV71 infection population using any of the standard techniques. However, there were no such disability weights available.…”

“…In addition, we used 4 CFA models (Models 1, 4, 5, and 6) to test convergent and discriminant validity: high factor loadings on each Kid-KINDL subscale suggested satisfactory convergent validity; low correlation coefficients among different subscales indicated good discriminant validity [28]. However, because the acceptable factor loadings (for convergent validity) and correlation coefficients (for discriminant validity) may be varied among different fields, we proposed the cutoff of .3 for factor loadings and .7 for correlation coefficients [29] in this study. In other words, a factor loading < .3 indicates that an item is not well fit in its subscale; a correlation coefficient > .7 between two subscales suggests that the two subscales are not discriminant.…”

BackgroundThe pediatric quality of life (QoL) questionnaire, the child-rated Kid-KINDL, has wording effects. However, no studies have examined for its parallel questionnaire, the parent-proxy Kid-KINDL. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties and wording effects of the parent-proxy Kid-KINDL.MethodsParents with 8- to 12-year-old children (n = 247) completed the parent-proxy Kid-KINDL, 83 of them completed it again 7–14 days later, and 241 of their children completed the child-rated Kid-KINDL. Internal consistency was examined using Cronbach’s α; test-retest reliability and concurrent validity, using Pearson correlation coefficients (r); construct validity and wording effects, using confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs).ResultsThe internal consistency of the parent-proxy Kid-KINDL total score was acceptable (α = .86). Test-retest reliability (r = .33–.60) and concurrent validity (r = .27–.42) were acceptable or nearly acceptable for all subscales and the total score. The CFA models simultaneously accounting for QoL traits and wording effects had satisfactory fit indices, and outperformed the model accounting only for QoL traits. However, four subscales had unsatisfactory internal consistency, which might be attributable to wording effects.ConclusionWhen children are unable to complete a QoL questionnaire, the parent-proxy Kid-KINDL can substitute with all due cautions to wording effects and inconsistent reliability among different raters.

“…Thus, the ability of the instrument to classify preterm from term children was restricted only to six subscales. However, a similar issue was observed in the validation of the tool in other countries whenever they had tried to establish discriminant validity using preterm and term born children [7,28]. This problem was explained by lack of variability of the measured health outcome in the said population.…”

Background and Objectives Health related quality of life of children encompasses the clinical status and the perception of health. The aim of the study was to adapt and validate the TAPQOL health related quality of life instrument for children in the age group of 3 to 4 years in Sri Lanka. Methods The English TAPQOL was adapted to the Sinhala language using a modified Delphi technique. A community based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 492 children in the age range of 3 to 4 years in the Colombo District. A multistage cluster sampling method was used to select children. Mothers of children were interviewed using a structured questionnaire which included the adapted tool. In the analysis, factor extraction, reliability and discriminant validity were tested. Results Response rate was 94.9% (n=467). For factor extraction, 44 items were extracted and arranged into 12 subscales. Subscales represented different dimensions of health. All subscales had less than 2% of missing values indicating high acceptability. Cronbach's alpha was more than 0.7 in eleven subscales. High correlations were observed for test-retest reliability for responses 2 weeks apart. The instrument showed satisfactory discriminant validity with preterm born children obtaining low scores in eleven subscales compared to the term born group. Conclusions and recommendations The TAPQOL questionnaire could be used in the community setting for preschool aged children to assess health related quality of life.
