dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study is to adapt KIDSCREEN Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) questionnaire into Turkish and to analyze the psychometric properties of the scale. Methods: The study conducted in the city of Manisa located in western Turkey is a validity and reliability study and consisted of 662 children/adolescents be-tween the ages of 8 and 18 and 552 parents. In the study, sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were identified, and KIDSCREEN-52 and KINDL QoL questionnaires were administered. The KIDSCREEN scale was adapted to Turkish and applied psychometric analyses. Results: Cronbach's alpha ranged between 0.69 and 0.95 for the child/adolescent version of the KIDSCREEN-52, KIDSCREEN-27 and KIDSCREEN-10 index and between 0.68 and 0.94 for the proxy version. The results of confirmatory factor analyses fit indices for KIDSCREEN were considered to be at a good level. Correlation coefficient between the dimensions of the KIDSCREEN and KINDL scales assessing similar constructs (ranging between 0.45 and 0.62) were higher than that of other dimen-sions. In addition, the KIDSCREEN yielded results to discriminate the physical well-being, psychological well-being and perception of insufficient income. Conclusion: Turkish version of the child/adolescent and proxy versions of KIDSCREEN is a valid and reliable measurement tool. © 2016, Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine. All rights reserved.
