目的本研究的目的是调查伊朗版本的生活质量清单的可靠性和有效性（TM）4.0（PEDSQL（TM）4.0）在语言验证后的Adermcentsmethods中的通用核心尺度，这是伊朗版本的PEDSQL版本（TM）4.0由848个健康和26个年龄13-18岁的慢性青少年及其父母完成。回值Cronbach的Alpha系数衡量的内部一致性超过了.70的最低可靠性标准。未观察到地板效应。检测到的天花板效应范围从青少年自我报告的1.5％到自我报告社交功能的42.2％。所有单单杀菌的相关性都高于多晶体 - 多素用途相关性。青少年自我报告和父母替代报告之间的类内相关系数（ICC）表现出良好的一致性。探索性因素分析主要支持与原始的美国英语方言版本相比的结果。对于自我报告和代理报告的5因子模型的验证因子分析的结果表明，对拟议模型的可接受拟合。关于性别和健康状况，从以前的研究中提到的那样，女孩报告的生活质量低于男孩的总成绩，身体和情感功能以及健康的青少年的生活质量比患有健康相关的健康质量明显高于患有慢性疾病的生活质量结论这些发现支持伊朗版本的PEDSQL（TM）4.0的初始可靠性和有效性，作为测量伊朗青少年HRQOL的通用仪器。
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Iranian version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (TM) 4.0 (PedsQL (TM) 4.0) Generic Core Scales in adolescentsMethods After linguistic validation, the Iranian version of the PedsQL (TM) 4.0 was completed by 848 healthy and 26 chronically ill adolescents aged 13-18 years and their parents.Results The internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficients exceeded the minimum reliability standard of .70. No floor effects were observed. Ceiling effects detected ranged from 1.5% for adolescent self-report total scale score to 42.2% for self-report social functioning. All monotrait-multimethod correlations were higher than multitrait-multimethod correlations. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) between adolescent self-report and parent proxy-report showed good to excellent agreement. Exploratory factor analysis supported mainly comparable results with the original US English dialect version. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis for 5-factor models for both self-report and proxy-report indicated acceptable fit for the proposed models. Regarding gender and health status, as hypothesized from previous studies, girls reported lower health-related quality of life than boys on the total score, physical and emotional functioning, and healthy adolescents reported significantly higher health-related quality of life than those with chronic illnesses.Conclusion The findings support the initial reliability and validity of the Iranian version of the PedsQL (TM) 4.0 as a generic instrument to measure HRQOL of adolescents in Iran.
