ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Pediatric cancer is a significant health concern in China, and evaluating the impact of cancer and its treatment on the well-being of young patients is essential for both clinical care and research purposes. This study aimed to psychometrically validate the Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pediatric-25 Profile (PROMIS-Pediatric-25) among Chinese children with cancer. DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
We enrolled a group of 114 children living with cancer between the ages of 8 and 17. Each participant completed questionnaires that covered sociodemographic and clinical information and the PROMIS-Pediatric-25. The floor and ceiling effect was examined. Cronbach's alpha and split-half coefficient were examined to determine the reliability. Factor structure was explored by factor analysis. Three assumptions of Rasch model-based item response theory (IRT) were assessed. Differential item functioning (DIF) was investigated concerning factors of gender, diagnosis, and treatment stage.RESULTS:
The floor or ceiling effects were detected for six domains. The reliability was found to be excellent. Furthermore, the factor structure of these six domains was validated. Our analysis confirmed that the assumptions required for IRT were met with acceptable unidimensionality, local independence, and good monotonicity. Additionally, we observed measurement equivalence, with outstanding levels of DIF across factors such as gender, diagnosis, and treatment stage.CONCLUSION:
PROMIS-Pediatric 25 is a highly reliable and valid instrument for evaluating key domains of health-related quality of life in Chinese pediatric cancer patients. PRACTICE IMPLICATION Nursing practice could engage the PROMIS-Pediatric 25 for accurate and quick children symptom and function assessment.Palavras-chave
