背景1995年,儿童皮肤病生活质量指数(CDLQI)被开发为一种评估皮肤病儿童生活质量的工具。这个最初的问卷是在一个书面的formation.Objectives使用相同的验证问题,一个全彩卡通版本已经开发。本研究的目的是验证这对最初的书面问卷在一个由三部分组成的study.Methods的第一部分的研究试点使用两个版本在门诊设置。101名儿童以随机顺序完成了两个版本的CDLQI。另有66名儿童在门诊完成了CDLQI动画片,随后当天在家中完成了动画片版本,并通过邮寄方式返回。比较两组评分。在第二部分中,在更多的控制条件下,以消除父母和研究者的偏见,107名儿童与当前的皮肤病问题,管理两个版本的CDLQI在随机顺序。对分数进行了分析,并记录了完成每个版本的时间以及儿童和父母的偏好。第三部分通过要求546名最近在皮肤科诊所接受检查的儿童返回一份完整的邮寄CDLQI来评估依从性。一半的孩子得到的文字,一半的卡通版本。结果参与儿童的中位年龄为11岁。两个版本在第一部分和第二部分的得分差异无统计学意义,但卡通版完成速度(中位数90 s)快于书面版(中位数120 s)(P
Background In 1995 the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) was developed as a tool to allow quality of life assessment of children with skin conditions. This initial questionnaire was in a written format.Objectives Using the same validated questions, a full-colour cartoon version has been developed. The aim of this study was to validate this against the initial written questionnaire in a three-part study.Methods The first part of the study piloted the use of both versions in an outpatient setting. One hundred and one children completed both versions of the CDLQI in a random order. A further 66 children completed the cartoon CDLQI in outpatients, and subsequently completed the cartoon version on the same day at home, which was returned by post. The scores were compared. In the second part, in more controlled conditions to eliminate parental and investigator bias, 107 children with current dermatological problems were administered both versions of the CDLQI in a random order. The scores were analysed, and time to complete each version, and the child and parental preferences, were recorded. The third part assessed compliance by asking 546 children recently reviewed in dermatology clinics to return a single completed postal CDLQI. Half of the children were given the text, and half the cartoon version.Results The median age of participating children was 11 years. There was no significant difference in scores between the two versions in both parts 1 and 2, but the cartoon version was completed faster (median 90 s) than the written version (median 120 s) (P
