目的评价儿科生活质量量表（PedsQL（TM）4.0）在儿童复发性头痛综合征中的信度和效度。方法40名7-12岁的儿童在基线期和自我指导的认知行为干预后完成HRQOL，头痛相关残疾和头痛活动的测量。结果：数据支持PedsQL（TM）4.0在儿童头痛样本中的信度（内部一致性和重测）和效度（标准相关，收敛，已知组和干预反应）。结论PedsQL（TM）4.0是一个可靠和有效的衡量复发性头痛儿童的HRQOL的指标，并捕获了在慢性疼痛人群中没有常规评估的重要信息。
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of a commonly used measure of health-related quality of life (HRQOL), the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL (TM) 4.0), in a sample of children with a recurrent headache syndrome. Methods Participants were 40 children aged 7-12 who completed measures of HRQOL, headache-related disability, and headache activity during a baseline period and following a self-directed cognitive-behavioral intervention. Results The data are supportive of the reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) and validity (criterion related, convergent, known-groups, and responsiveness to intervention) of the PedsQL (TM) 4.0 within a pediatric headache sample. Conclusions We conclude that the PedsQL (TM) 4.0 is a reliable and valid measure of HRQOL in children with recurrent headache and captures important information not routinely evaluated in chronic pain populations.
