Developing the Scale for Quality of Life in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13 – 18: Adolescent Form and Parent Form

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This study aimed to develop the Scale for Quality of Life in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18: Adolescent Form and Parent Form.
Methods: We used the child and parent information form, Visual Quality of Life Scale, and our own scale, the Scale for Quality of Life in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18: Adolescent Form and Parent Form. We finalized the 35-item scale to determine the items, received opinions from 14 specialists on the scale, and pilot-tested the scale in 25 children and their parents. We used Pearson correlation analysis, Cronbach a coefficient, factor analysis and receiver operating characteristics analysis to analyze the data.
Results: The total Cronbach a of the parent form was .97, the total factor load was .60-.97 and the total variance was 80.4%. The cutoff point of the parent formwas 85.50. The total Cronbach a of the adolescent form was .98, the total factor load was .62-.96, and the total variance explained was 83.4%. The cutoff point of the adolescent form was 75.50. As a result of the parent form factor analysis, we determined the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient as .83, the Barlett test X² as 12,615.92; the factor coefficients of all items of the parent form ranged from .63 to .98. The factor coefficients of all items of the adolescent form ranged from .34 to .99. As a result of the adolescent form factor analysis, we determined the KMO as .79, and the Barlett test X² as 13,970.62.
Conclusions: Conclusively, we found that the adolescent form and the parent formwere valid and reliable in assessing the children's quality of life.
