ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND:
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common but often underestimated in children. The gold standard for assessing SDB is polysomnography, but it is expensive and time-consuming. The Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ/SRDB) is a validated screening tool for SDB, which represents an efficient and alternative tool for screening SDB among children. However, a translated and validated Danish version of the PSQ/SRDB is not available yet. Our aim was to cross-culturally translate the PSQ/SRDB into Danish language for use in clinical and research settings. PATIENTS/METHODS:
The translation was carried out through forward-backward translation techniques performed by a panel of experts, and the cross-cultural adaptation was achieved by pretesting of the pre-final version. Internal consistency of the Danish PSQ/SRDB version was measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficients, while Cohen's kappa was used to evaluate test-retest reliability. Construct validity was assessed by factor analysis of the principal components.RESULTS:
The Danish PSQ/SRDB was administered to the caregivers of 348 children. An overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.72 was found, confirming the survey's consistency, with the results for the domains ranging 0.52-0.70. The Danish PSQ/SRDB showed moderate to perfect reliability for all items, except for one question (C14). Factor analysis performed on the Danish PSQ/SRDB showed that the predetermined four factors were similar with the original version of the PSQ/SRDB.CONCLUSIONS:
The Danish version of the PSQ/SRDB has been successfully translated and cross-culturally adapted, suggesting that it can be used as an appropriate paediatric screening tool for SDB in Denmark.Palavras-chave
