PedsQL（TM）（儿科生活质量量表（TM））是一种模块化工具，旨在测量2-18岁儿童和青少年的健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）和疾病特异性症状。新的PedsQL（TM）婴儿量表是专为1-24个月的健康和患病婴儿设计的通用HRQOL工具。本研究的目的是报告PedsQL（TM）婴儿量表在健康、急性病和慢性病婴儿中的初步可行性、内部一致性信度和效度。（1-12个月）和45个项目（13-24个月）PedsQL（TM）婴儿体重秤（身体功能，身体症状，情绪功能，社会功能，认知功能）由683名健康，急性疾病，PedsQL（TM）婴儿量表证明了最小的缺失反应，在总量表得分方面实现了极好的内部一致性可靠性，（α = 0.92），区分健康婴儿和急性和慢性疾病婴儿，结果表明，PedsQL（TM）婴儿量表在健康和患病婴儿中的初始测量特性。研究结果表明，PedsQL（TM）婴儿量表可用于评估1-24个月婴儿的一般HRQOL。
The PedsQL (TM) (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (TM)) is a modular instrument designed to measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and disease-specific symptoms in children and adolescents ages 2-18. The new PedsQL (TM) Infant Scales were designed as a generic HRQOL instrument specifically for healthy and ill infants ages 1-24 months. The objective of this study was to report on the initial feasibility, internal consistency reliability, and validity of the PedsQL (TM) Infant Scales in healthy, acutely ill, and chronically ill infants.The 36-item (ages 1-12 months) and 45-item (ages 13-24 months) PedsQL (TM) Infant Scales (Physical Functioning, Physical Symptoms, Emotional Functioning, Social Functioning, Cognitive Functioning) were completed by 683 parents of healthy, acutely ill, and chronically ill infants.The PedsQL (TM) Infant Scales evidenced minimal missing responses, achieved excellent internal consistency reliability for the Total Scale Scores (alpha = 0.92), distinguished between healthy infants and acutely and chronically ill infants, and demonstrated a confirmatory factor structure largely consistent with the a priori conceptual model.The results demonstrate the initial measurement properties of the PedsQL (TM) Infant Scales in healthy and ill infants. The findings suggest that the PedsQL (TM) Infant Scales may be utilized in the evaluation of generic HRQOL in infants ages 1-24 months.
