Çocuklar İçin Genel Amaçli Sağlikla İlgili Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (Kid-KINDL) Türkçe Sürümünün Psikometrik Özellikleri

Results: Cronbach’s alpha was 0.35-0.78 before and 0.54-0.78 after the scales was modified. MAP-scaling success was 60%-100% before and 90%-100% after the modification. CFA confirmed the Kid-KINDL structure for the original version (RMSEA = 0.077) was less than the modified version (RMSEA = 0.059), although for the latter the sample was rather small. Floor effects were negligible, and ceiling effects reached 19%. Conclusion: The results indicate that the Turkish Kid-KINDL was a reliable and factorially valid assessment of the children’s HRQOL. The modifications made to the 2 unsatisfactory items increased the psychometric quality of the scale.
