Resumen
Background: KIDSCREEN-52 is an instrument to assess health related
quality of life in children and adolescents. Aim: To culturally adapt and
validate the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire in Chileans. Material and Methods:
Two independent translations from the English Spanish language were
conciliated and retranslated to English. The conciliated version was tested
during a cognitive interview to adolescents of different socioeconomic levels.
The inal version was validated in 7,910 school attending adolescents. Results:
In the cross-cultural adaptation, 50 of the 52 items presented low or medium
levels of dificulty and a high semantic equivalence. Distribution according
to gender, grades and types of schools was similar to the sample. Single ages
were not affected by sex distribution. The Conirmatory Factor Analyses were:
χ2 (1229) = 20996.7, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = .045 and
Comparative Fit Index = .96. The instrument had a Cronbach’s alpha of .93.
The domains had scores over 0.70 points, with the exception of the “Selfperception”
domain, with a score of 0.62. Conclusions: The Chilean version
of KIDSCREEN-52 is culturally appropriate and semantically equivalent
in its English and Spanish versions (from Spain). Its reliability and validity
were adequate.
