Para o cálculo da validade de critério foi utilizado o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman e, devido aos dados apresentarem uma distribuição não normal, as correlações foram significativas em todas as dimensões (p<0,001). Destarte, infere-se que o instrumento KIDSCREEN-27 apresentou qualidade satisfatória. A consistência interna foi calculada pelo coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, e dos sete itens analisados cinco deles obtiveram valores acima de 0,7. Assim, infere-se que a versão brasileira do instrumento KIDSCREEN-27 é capaz de reunir informações de qualidade e similares às das versões relacionadas à qualidade de vida de crianças e adolescentes. No que se refere à validade concorrente, utilizou-se o instrumento AUQEI como “padrão-ouro”, e obtiveram-se correlações significativas no que toca ao coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. De tal forma, infere-se que o instrumento KIDSCREEN-27 apresenta validade concorrente satisfatória em relação ao instrumento AUQEI. Quanto à fidedignidade teste-reteste, o cálculo da correlação de Spearman foi novamente utilizado. Não houve diferença significativa no que se refere às médias das dimensões em relação ao teste e reteste, ocasionando, assim, uma estabilidade satisfatória do instrumento supracitado. No que se refere à validade discriminante, houve diferença significativa na comparação entre crianças de escolas regulares com crianças de orfanatos, nas dimensões Bem-estar físico, Autonomia e relação com os pais e Ambiente escolar. Quanto ao cálculo do Split-half, a correlação foi satisfatória, com um valor de 0,727, o que reforça mais ainda a confiabilidade do instrumento KIDSCREEN-27. Conclui-se que as propriedades psicométricas do instrumento KIDSCREEN-27 da versão brasileira apresentaram, no geral, condições satisfatórias, criando mais uma possibilidade de investigação para que os pesquisadores e os profissionais avaliem a qualidade de vida de crianças e adolescentes na população brasileira. / The objective of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of KIDSCREEN-27 measurement instrument of quality of life of children and teenagers. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used for the calculation of validity of criteria. Due to the fact that the data shower a non-normal distribution, and the correlations were significant in all the dimensions (p<0,001). This way, we infer that the KIDSCREEN-27 instrument presented satisfactory quality. The internal consistency was calculated using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and out of the seven analyzed items, five of them achieved values above 0.7. It follows that the Brazilian version of the KIDSCREEN-27 instrument is capable to gather high-quality information, similar to the ones from the versions concerning quality of life of children and teenagers. What pertains the concurring validity, using the AUQEI instrument as “gold standard”, significative correlations were obtained regarding Spearman’s correlation coefficient. This way, it appears that the KIDSCREEN-27 instrument presents satisfactory concurrent validity regarding the AUQEI instrument. In terms of the test-retest reliability, the Spearman’s correlation calculation was again employed. There were no significative differences concerning the average of the dimensions in terms of the test and retest, hence leading to a satisfactory stability of the aforementioned instrument. Pertaining the discriminant validity, a significant difference could be found in the comparison of children from regular schools and children who grew up in orphanages, especially in the dimensions Physical Well-being, Autonomy and Parents, and School Environment. As for the Split-Half calculation, the correlation was satisfactory, with a value of 0.727, which reinforces even more the reliability of the KIDSCREEN-27 instrument. We concluded that the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of KIDSCREEN-27 instrument presented, in general, satisfactory conditions, thus creating another possibility of investigation for researches and professionals to assess the quality of life of Brazilian children and teenagers.

La salud ha tenido varios intentos trascendentales, específicamente a finales del siglo XX, en donde se aprecia un cambio que va de la preocupación por la prevención, la atención de enfermedades y la supervivencia de las personas. Actualmente se centra en un enfoque dirigido a la satisfacción o bienestar del individuo, no sólo en términos de mejores condiciones es decir, que vivan más tiempo, sino con las mejores vidas posibles; donde expresen sus juicios sobre la calidad de sus vidas, desde su propio punto de vista. Existe un incremento a nivel mundial de la necesidad de incorporar indicadores de resultado en salud que vayan más allá de lo netamente somático, como son la calidad de vida (CV) y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS). En el área pediátrica, el concepto calidad de vida cabe resaltarse en niños(as) y adolescentes, no sólo a través de sus progenitores como comúnmente suele hacerse, sino como protagonistas de su situación de salud. Por lo que es necesario desarrollar, adaptar o validar cuestionarios que capten la percepción de la enfermedad y el tratamiento, proveniente del propio paciente pediátrico crónico o saludable. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la validación de los cuestionarios KIDSCREEN y DISABKIDS en la población infanto-juvenil venezolana, cumpliendo con las fases del proceso; acuerdos entre autores originales e investigadores, traducción al castellano venezolano, validación lingüística de los cuestionario, validez psicométrica, asimismo, el Graffar modificado y el APGAR familiar tomados en cuenta como indicadores de calidad de vida. Los participantes del estudio en su gran mayoría procedían de localidades urbanas del Estado Lara- Venezuela, los mismos fueron captados en instituciones educativas e instituciones de salud. El proceso de adaptación lingüística permitió obtener un instrumento equiparable, es decir, mantiene la equivalencia conceptual y por ende, resulta apropiado en la cultura a utilizarse. El KIDSCREEN y DISABKIDS puede ser autoadministrado, no requiriendo entrenamiento o a través de entrevista personal. La tasa de respuesta fue del 100%. La fiabilidad valorada a través del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach validada en población de niños(as) adolescentes y sus padres o cuidadores presentó una fiabilidad preliminar aceptable. Se valoro la validez de constructo, los datos mostraron una ausencia de convergencia entre las diferentes dimensiones del KIDSCREEN, DISABKIDS, Graffar y el APGAR familiar. Los aspectos subjetivos hacen pensar que los cuestionarios son aceptables y viables para los niños(as) y adolescentes aparentemente sanos o con condiciones crónicas pudiendo ser útiles para brindar atención óptima y oportuna a este grupo poblacional.

Syfte Syftet med studien var att undersöka samband mellan insatser för att främja fysisk aktivitet i skolan och hälsorelaterad livskvalitet hos elever i årskurs 7. Metod Denna studie genomfördes med en kvantitativ ansats och tvärsnittsdesign. Urvalet bestod av 1139 ungdomar i årskurs 7 (13–14 år) och vuxna representanter från 34 skolor i Stockholmsområdet. Data samlades in genom projektet Hjärnhälsa i skolan under 2019. Elever fick svara på en enkät som inkluderade ett standardiserat formulär om hälsorelaterad livskvalitet (Kidscreen-10 Index). Data om skolans insatser för att främja fysisk aktivitet (undervisningstid i idrott och hälsa, en generell hälsopolicy, organiserade raster, fysisk aktivitet under lektionstid och mobilförbud) samlades in genom en enkät som besvarades av skolrepresentanter samt genom skolans schema. Samband mellan kontinuerliga variabler undersöktes med Pearson korrelationsanalys. Samband mellan kategoriska variabler undersöktes med Spearman korrelationsanalys. Skillnader i kontinuerliga variablerna undersöktes med t-test och variansanalys (ANOVA). Skillnader i de kategoriska variablerna undersöktes med Chi-två-test. Resultat Studien visade att det inte fanns några signifikanta samband mellan någon av insatserna för att främja fysisk aktivitet i skolan och hälsorelaterad livskvalitet. Resultaten visade även att det inte fanns signifikanta skillnader i hälsorelaterad livskvalitet hos elever som gick på en skola som främjar fysisk aktivitet jämfört med skolor som inte hade främjande insatser. Slutsats Denna studie visade att det inte fanns ett samband mellan insatser i skolan för att främja fysisk aktivitet och hälsorelaterad livskvalitet. På grund av ett bristande forskningsläge är det osäkert vilken roll främjande av fysisk aktivitet har för hälsorelaterad livskvalitet, framför allt i svenska skolor. För att dra en slutsats krävs ytterligare forskning inom området. / Aim The purpose of this study was to examine associations between activities to promote school- based physical activity and health-related quality of life among pupils in the seventh grade. MethodThis study had a quantitative methodology and a cross sectional design. The sample was 1139 adolescents in seventh grade (age 13–14) and adult representatives in 34 schools in Stockholm area. Data was collected through the project Hjärnhälsa i skolan (Brain health in school) in 2019. The adolescents answered a survey that included a standardized questionnaire to measure health-related quality of life (Kidscreen-10 Index). Data about school promotion of physical activity (duration of physical education, a general school health policy, organized physical activity during recess, physical activity during lessons and a mobile phone ban) were collected by letting school representatives answer a questionnaire and through school schedules. Associations between the continuous variables were analyzed with Pearson’s correlation. Associations between the categorical variables were analyzed with Spearman’s correlation. Differences between the continuous variables were analyzed with t- test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Differences between the categorical variables was analyzed with a Chi-square test. Result The results showed that there was no significant association for any of the activities to promote school based physical activity and health-related quality of life. The results also showed that there was no difference in health-related quality of life amongst pupils that attended schools that promoted physical activity compared to schools that did not. Conclusion This study showed that there were no significant associations between activities to promote physical activity in schools and health-related quality of life. Due to scarce research, it is uncertain what role promotion of physical activity has for health-related quality of life for adolescents, especially in Swedish schools. To conclude this, more research is needed.

<p>This study is located within the theoretical framework of construct validation theory. Data for this Secondary Data Analysis study was drawn from the &ldquo / Impact of Hope and Exposure to Community Violence on children&rsquo / s perception of Well-being&rdquo / study. The primary study employed stratified interval criterion sampling to select 565 grade 9 learners, aged 14-18 from six public schools. The dataset for the current study comprised all participants (N=565) of the broader study. As the initial step in validation of the KIDSCREEN-52 within South Africa, the current study examined the factor structure of the KIDSCREEN-52 within this context by means of exploratory factor analysis using principal component analysis with oblimin rotations. It also assessed the internal consistency reliability of each of the scales using Cronbach&rsquo / s alpha. Exploratory factor analysis revealed the same 10 factors as identified by previous European studies with some deviation in the last two factors, which warrants further examination. Internal consistency of the measure was shown to be acceptable, with Cronbach&rsquo / s alpha values ranging from 0.76 to 0.81 for the 10 scales.</p>

Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych) / The absence of a suitable measure to assess the health related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and adolescents in South Africa, led to the use of the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire in this study. This questionnaire was developed and standardised in Europe and it assesses quality of life from the subjective perception of children and adolescents in terms of their physical, mental and social well-being. The use of assessment measures with different populations or in different milieu from the original standardisation context necessitates establishing the validity of such measures for the new utilization context. Thus, the aim of this quantitative study is specifically directed at examining the construct validity of the KIDSCREEN-52 within a South African context. Accordingly, this study is located within the theoretical framework of construct validation theory. Data for this Secondary Data Analysis study was drawn from the “Impact of Hope and Exposure to Community Violence on children’s perception of Well-being” study. The primary study employed stratified interval criterion sampling to select 565 grade 9 learners, aged 14-18 from six public schools. The dataset for the current study comprised all participants (N=565) of the broader study. As the initial step in validation of the KIDSCREEN-52 within South Africa, the current study examined the factor structure of the KIDSCREEN-52 within this context by means of exploratory factor analysis using principal component analysis with oblimin rotations.
