20.500.12556/DKUM-85244 The KIDSCREEN-27 scale: translation and validation study of the Slovenian version Background: There are many methods available for measuring social support and quality of life (QoL) of adolescents, of these, the KIDSCREEN tools are most widely used. Thus, we aimed to translate and validate the KIDSCREEN-27 scale for the usage among adolescents aged between 10 and 19 years old in Slovenia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 2852 adolescents in primary and secondary school from November 2019 to January 2020 in Slovenia. 6-steps method of validation was used to test psychometric properties of the KIDSCREEN-27 scale. We checked descriptive statistics, performed a Mokken scale analysis, parametric item response theory, factor analysis, classical test theory and total (sub)scale scores. Results: All five subscales of the KIDSCREEN-27 formed a unidimensional scale with good homogeneity and reliability. The confirmatory factor analysis showed poor fit in user model versus baseline model metrics (CFI = 0.847; TLI = 0.862) and good fit in root mean square error (RMSEA = 0.072; p(χ2) < 0.001). A scale reliability was calculated using Cronbach's α (0.93), beta (0.86), G6 (0.95) and omega (0.93). Conclusions: The questionnaire showed average psychometric properties and can be used among adolescents in Slovenia to find out about their quality of life. Further research is needed to explore why fit in user model metrics is poor. social support adolescent psychometrics factor analysis quality of life socialna podpora mladostniki psihometrija faktorska analiza kvaliteta življenja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2023-08-23 11:11:37 2023-08-23 11:11:38 2023-08-24 03:07:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 str. 1-11 article no. 67 Letn. 20 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-01-01 316.6:613.86-053.6 106281987 10.1186/s12955-022-01973-3 1477-7525 https://hqlo.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12955-022-01973-3 1 1260a177-4195-11ee-9a51-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=170137 The_KIDSCREEN-27_scale__translatio-Budler-2022.pdf The_KIDSCREEN-27_scale__translatio-Budler-2022.pdf 1 7F7B7E4609B121BDDADBCDE60B139C4C 82e0bd599c65b5a040b534980e9e1b442b8149b31a6e4076f102de551818a67a 1b9e2bf9-4196-11ee-9a51-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=170140 Fakulteta za zdravstvene vede 0 0 0
