目的检验日文版PedsQL™多维疲劳量表的信度和效度，并考察儿童自评疲劳与家长代理报告疲劳的一致性。方法采用日文版PedsQL™多维疲劳量表对6 5 2名5~12岁学龄前儿童及其家长和91名1~4岁学龄前儿童家长进行测试。在一组健康样本(n=530)和慢性疾病样本(n=102n)之间检查了已知组的有效性；慢性病组报告了显著更高的感知疲劳问题。儿童自我和家长代理报告之间的相关性从差到一般不等。在基于儿童自我报告得分的聚类分析确定的子组中，儿童和父母的报告在HRQOL好的组中一致性最高，而在HRQOL差的组中最低。结论日文版PedsQL™多维疲劳量表具有较好的信度和效度，可用于学校和医疗机构对日本儿童的评估。
PurposeTo examine the reliability and validity of the Japanese-language version of the PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale and to investigate the agreement between child self-reported fatigue and parent proxy-reported fatigue.MethodsThe Japanese-language version of the PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale was administered to 652 preschoolers and schoolchildren aged 5–12 and their parents, and to 91 parents of preschool children aged 1–4.ResultsInternal consistency reliability was 0.62–0.87 for children and 0.81–0.93 for parents. Known-group validity was examined between a group of healthy samples (n = 530) and chronic condition sample (n = 102); the chronically ill group reported a significantly higher perceived fatigue problem. Correlations between child self- and parent proxy reports ranged from poor to fair. In subgroups identified by cluster analysis based on child self-reported scores, the greatest agreement between child and parent reports was seen in the good HRQOL group, while the least occurred in the poor HRQOL group. The parents overestimated their child’s fatigue more when the child’s HRQOL was low.ConclusionThe Japanese-language version of the PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale demonstrated good reliability and validity and could be useful in evaluating Japanese children in school and health care settings.
