Clinical Trial Summary
Functional impairment of the upper extremities can impair the health-related quality of life
(HRQOL) of persons with Cerebral Palsy CP. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures
several subjective dimensions dealing with the impact of health or illness on physical and
psychosocial functioning. Quality of life (QOL) measures for children and adolescents have
been developed in recent years, initially for children with specific chronic conditions, but
more recently generic and health-related QOL (HRQOL) measures have been developed . The early
assessments of children's quality of life were mostly disease-specific, and this trend has
continued. Generic HRQOL measurements for children and adolescents can help identify
subgroups of children and adolescents who are at risk of developing health problems.
KIDSCREEN-27 is a generic HRQOL measure derived from KIDSCREEN-52. The KIDSCREEN-27 is a
subset of the KIDSCREEN-52 that includes 27 items for assessing HRQOL across five dimensions:
Physical Well-Being (5 items) examines a child's or adolescent's level of physical activity,
energy, and fitness. Although the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the
KIDSCREEN forms have been studied previously; however, its psychometric characteristics in
children with CP have yet to be determined. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to provide
an overview of the psychometric results of the KIDSCREEN-27 HRQOL questionnaire
Description:
Children with CP generally report a lower QOL than their normally developing peers. Quality
of life (QOL) is now recognized as an important outcome of interventions because it relates
to a person's individual cognition or well-being in a range of domains (e.g., physical,
social, emotional, spiritual). Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a subdomain of the
more global construct of QOL, including domains such as physical, mental, and social
well-being Recently, there has been a surge in interest in assessing the quality of life
(QOL) of children with cerebral palsy (CP). QOL instruments are increasingly used to assess
the effectiveness of interventions for children with CP. To assess QOL, there are both
generic and condition-specific scales available. The Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life
Questionnaire for Children (CP QOL-Child), the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ), European
generic health related quality of life questionnaire (KIDSCREEN), and the Pediatric Quality
of Life Inventory are some of the most used instruments. Out of these QOL instruments,
European generic health related quality of life questionnaire (KIDSCREEN) is a generic QOL
questionnaire and KIDSCREEN-27 is a shorter version of the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire to
evaluate HRQOL outcomes of children and adolescents between the ages of 8-18 years. . Generic
scales are useful for comparing groups since they are designed to be relevant to all
subgroups of the population. Because they do not include domains that are relevant to the
sickness or disability, they are less useful for evaluating the effectiveness of an
intervention for children with that illness or disability. Condition-specific scales are
useful for detecting changes in QOL for a given condition and are designed to be applicable
to a group. Instruments that are condition-specific can capture the domains of QOL that are
significant to children and adolescents with CP. Although the psychometric properties of
KIDSCREEN-27 tests have been extensively studied in healthy children and adolescents, there
has been no research to date on the psychometric features of KIDSCREEN-27 instruments in
cerebral palsy children and adolescents. Thus, the aims of this study were to examine and
determine the construct-concurrent validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the
self and proxy versions of KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire in individuals with cerebral palsy
