          Abstract

          The KIDSCREEN 52 is a European cross-cultural and standardized instrument that assesses ten health related quality of life (HRQoL) dimensions in children, adolescents and their parents. It is often claimed that children self reports are not totally accurate, calling for a confirmation from parents or caregivers. The present study focuses only on the Kidscreen-52, parents’ version (a parallel version addressed specifically to parents perceptions of their son’s HRQoL). 2255 parents of children and adolescents with a mean age of 13.2, attending the 5th grade and 7th grade were inquired. The fit indexes indicate good fit to the data. Specifically, the final solution of the RMSEA was lower than .03, the upper limit of 90% confidence interval was lower than .05, and CFI was higher than .95. Results indicate that the current 52 items structure is invariant across gender and age group. The parent’s version of the Kidscreen-52 questionnaire constitutes a valid instrument to estimate parent’s perception of quality of life in their children.

          O Kidscreen-52 é um instrumento europeu inter-cultural e padronizado que avalia 10 dimensões da qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde (QVRS) em crianças, adolescentes e seus pais. Afirma-se frequentemente que os auto-relatos de crianças não são totalmente precisos, sendo necessária uma confirmação por parte dos pais ou responsáveis. O presente estudo refere-se ao Kidscreen-52, versão para pais (uma versão paralela dirigida especificamente aos pais quanto à perceção de QVRS dos seus filhos). Participaram 2.255 pais de crianças e adolescentes com idade média de 13,2 anos , frequentando o 5º e o 7º anos de escolaridade. Os índices de ajustamento indicam bom ajustamento dos dados. Especificamente, na solução final o RMSEA foi menor do que 0,03, o limite superior do intervalo de confiança de 90% foi inferior a 0,05, e CPI foi maior do que 0,95. Os resultados indicam que a atual estrutura de 52 itens é invariante em relação ao gênero e à idade. A versão para pais do questionário Kidscreen-52 constitui um instrumento válido para estimar a perceção dos pais acerca da qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde dos seus filhos, crianças e adolescentes.

              The proxy problem: child report versus parent report in health-related quality of life research.

              This study evaluates the agreement between child and parent reports on children's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a representative sample of 1,105 Dutch children (age 8-11 years old). Both children and their parents completed a 56 item questionnaire (TACQOL). The questionnaire contains seven eight-item scales: physical complaints, motor functioning, autonomy, cognitive functioning, social functioning, positive emotions and negative emotions. The Pearson correlations between the child and parent reports were between 0.44 and 0.61 (p < 0.001). The intraclass correlations were between 0.39 and 0.62. On average, the children reported a significantly lower HRQoL than their parents on the physical complaints, motor functioning, autonomy, cognitive functioning and positive emotions scales (paired t-test: p < 0.05). Agreement on all of the scales was related to the magnitude of the HRQoL scores and to some background variables (gender, age, temporary illness and visiting a physician). According to multitrait-multimethod analyses, both the child and parent reports proved to be valid.
