Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to develop the culturally adapted version of the KIDSCREEN-52 to Mexican adolescents 8-18 years, and to analyze its reliability and validity. A translation and back translation was carried from English to Spanish. Cognitive interviews were conducted and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to verify the content validity of the questionnaire. Based in previous studies (i.e the Argentinian version) mean scores of dimensions were compared to assess construct validity. Reliability was also analyzed. The results showed that the content validity of the Mexican version retained the original concepts, adapted to the Mexican culture and language. The AFC confirmed the structure of the 10 original dimensions. Two scales (Autonomy, 17.2%, and social acceptance (Bullying), 28.5%) showed ceiling effect. The instrument‘s internal consistency was acceptable (ranged from 0.5 to 0.86), and reproducibility obtained low coefficients in 5 dimensions (0.22 to 0.78). The Mexican version KIDSCREEN-52 seems to be equivalent to the original version in terms of content, structure, and construct validity. The conclusion was that the instrument KIDSCREEN-52 is suitable for application in the Mexican population 8-18 years old. Further studies are needed to explore their applications in clinical settings.
