“…Responses are scored on a five-point Likert scale that indicates the frequency or intensity of specific experiences (from never/not at all to always / extremely). The KIDSCREEN-10 has shown satisfactory internal consistency for the youth-(Cronbach α = 0.80 -0.82) and parent-version (Cronbach α = 0.76 -0.78), and satisfactory test-retest reliability for the youth version (ICC = 0.70) (116,136,137). The Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) is a brief clinician-rated measure of global functioning (117).…”

KK, MW, and SC oversaw the study design. KK and SC led data acquisition through the literature reviews, Delphi surveys, and Open Review surveys, as well as data analysis and interpretation. KK takes responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of data analysis. All authors attended teleconferences, and all but the core project team (KK, MW, SC) completed anonymous votes and feedback surveys as part of the Delphi process and formed consensus on the final recommendation. KK drafted the manuscript with support from SC, and all co-authors critically reviewed the working draft and agreed to the revisions and final submission. Administrative, technical, and organisational support was provided by SC.

“…Seven items (i.e., items 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) exhibited ceiling effects. Although previous studies did not exhibit such effects, these studies examined the overall ceiling effect of the questionnaire rather than each item (Nik-Azin et al, 2014;Baydur et al, 2016). The ceiling effects indicate that most of the items were easy for the respondents, and thus the KIDSCREEN-10 cannot differentiate well the respondents with high degrees of HRQoL.…”

“…Accordingly, instead of advocating the seven-item version, this paper suggests that the psychological properties of the KIDSCREEN-10 should be further tested by using CTT. Previous studies demonstrated that KIDSCREEN-10 provided a CTT reliable and valuable assessment of general HRQoL (Erhart et al, 2009;Stevanovic et al, 2013;Nik-Azin et al, 2014;Baydur et al, 2016;Nezu et al, 2016). Moreover, the KIDSCREEN-52, the parent version of the KIDSCREEN-10, has been validated by CTT in China (Ng et al, 2015;Zhu et al, 2019); thus, the KIDSCREEN-10 may not permit a Rasch-based measurement of general HRQoL, but fulfill the requirements of CTT.…”

“…In addition, studies from China (Ng et al, 2015), Serbia (Stevanovic et al, 2013), Turkey (Baydur et al, 2016), Norway (Andersen et al, 2016), Japan (Nezu et al, 2016), and Colombia (Vélez et al, 2016) have found a similar result for KIDSCREEN-27. Regarding KIDSCREEN-10, its validity and reliability can be supported in studies from Serbia (Stevanovic et al, 2013), Turkey (Baydur et al, 2016), Japan (Nezu et al, 2016), and Iran (Nik-Azin et al, 2014). Comparatively, a little evidence evaluated measurement properties of KIDSCREEN-10, especially no empirical endeavor has explored its reliability and validity in China.…”

Validation of the Chinese Version of KIDSCREEN-10 Quality of Life Questionnaire: A Rasch Model Estimation

The KIDSCREEN-10 was deemed as a cross-national instrument for measuring Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). However, no empirical endeavor has explored its reliability and validity in the context of China. This study aims to translate and validate the Chinese version of the KIDSCREEN-10 questionnaire. The KIDSCREEN-10 was translated into Chinese (Mandarin) using a blindly bilingual forward–backward–forward technique. A cross-sectional survey, including 1,830 students aged from 8 to 18 years, was conducted in a county located in Gansu province, China. Psychometric properties were evaluated using the Rasch partial credit model, ANOVA, and the correlation analysis. Results indicated that the KIDSCREEN-10 performed good internal consistency, known-group validity, and concurrent validity, but there were still some deficiencies in psychometrics: first, disordered response categories were found between category 2 (seldom) and category 3 (sometimes); second, item 3 (“Have you felt sad?”), item 4 (“Have you felt lonely?”), and item 5 (“Have enough time for self?”) demonstrated misfit to the Rasch model; third, items 3 and 4 exhibited differential item functioning. After collapsing the disordered response categories and removing the three misfit items, the seven-item questionnaire performed good psychometric properties. However, the seven-item version does not cover the psychological well-being dimension of HRQoL, and that may lead to inappropriate measures of HRQoL. Therefore, this paper suggested to use classical test theory to investigate the psychological properties of the KIDSCREEN-10.

“…The Kidscreen-10 has been shown to be reliable with Cronbach's alpha of 0.82 in adolescents aged 8-18 years (N = 22 830) across 13 European countries (Ravens-Sieberer et al 2010). It has been shown to function as a good indicator of HRQoL (Erhart et al 2009) and has a unidimensional structure (Ravens-Sieberer et al 2010;Nik-Azin et al 2014).…”

Background The measurement of subjective well-being is challenging with samples of adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) given the cognitive and linguistic difficulties they face in comprehending standardised measures, and as such is primarily based on proxy reports. The lack of appropriate tools needs to be addressed so that adolescents with ID can self-report on their own well-being. The current study reports on the use of participatory research methods to adapt and modify two standardised self-report measures of subjective well-being suitable for completion by adolescents with ID. Method Two special schools were recruited for this study. At each school, staff (n = 15) and pupils aged 11-17 years (n = 35) participated. A series of co-design workshops were conducted to adapt two standardised subjective well-being measures: Kidscreen-10 and short-form Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale. Results Specific aspects for measure adaption were identified: simplifying the item wording and phrasing; inclusion of pictorial communication symbols and visual prompts to represent the meaning of items; changing of tense of questions from past to present; asking questions rather than statements; reducing 5-point Likert scales to 3-point or dichotomous; presenting one item at a time during administration; and developing alternate formats of the survey to ensure inclusivity. Conclusions This paper illustrates the value of using participatory research methods when working alongside adolescents with ID and offers methodological, as well as practical, guidance in the context of adapting subjective self-report measures for this target group, serving as a guide to fellow researchers and clinicians interested in modifying or developing self-report measures for adolescents with ID.
