Özet

The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory-Cognitive Functioning Scale (PedsQL (TM)-CFS) was developed as a brief, general, symptom-specific tool to measure cognitive function. The 6-item PedsQL (TM) Cognitive Functioning Scale and PedsQL 3.0 Cancer Module answered 369 parents and 330 children with 5-18 years. Parents also completed Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). The PedsQL (TM) Cognitive Functioning Scale evidenced excellent reliability (parent proxy-report alpha = 0.980/Fleiss Kappa: 0.794; children self-report alpha = 0.963/Fleiss Kappa: 0.790). Both child self-report and parent proxy-report PedsQL (TM) Cognitive Functioning Scale scores exhibited significant correlations with all parent-report BRIEF summary and subscale scores (p < .05). Both child self-report and parent proxy-report PedsQL (TM) Cognitive Functioning Scale scores exhibited significant correlations with PedsQL 3.0 Cancer Module total score and subscale scores (p < .05). The PedsQL (TM)-CFS can be used in high-risk populations with substantial to perfect reliability, both in regards to total/subcategory scores as well as in children with cancer.
