Abstract

Objective: Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) can have long-lasting effects on the appearance, function, and psychosocial wellbeing of patients. The CLEFT-Q questionnaire is a patient-reported outcomes instrument specifically designed to assess the health-related quality of life of patients with CL/P. The aim of this study was to produce and linguistically validate a Finnish version of the CLEFT-Q questionnaire.

Design: The CLEFT-Q questionnaire was translated into Finnish following guidelines of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research. Pilot testing with cognitive debriefing interviews was conducted on patients of the target age range of the questionnaire, 8-29, and with various cleft types.

Results: The CLEFT-Q questionnaire translated readily into Finnish. A review of the backward translation led to two words being changed. Thirteen patients - ten females and three males - with a median age of 14 years, participated in the cognitive debriefing interviews. The interviews led to further nine word changes. The pilot study data suggested that the performance of the Finnish version of the instrument is in line with the original CLEFT-Q questionnaire.

Conclusions: The Finnish version of CLEFT-Q produced here is linguistically valid and ready for use in the evaluation of the health-related quality of life of patients with CL/P. However, future work is needed to further assess the validity and the reliability of the CLEFT-Q in the Finnish patient population.

CLEFT-Q 问卷的芬兰语翻译和语言验证。

目的：唇裂和/或腭裂（CL/P）会对患者的外观、功能和社会心理健康造成长期影响。CLEFT-Q 问卷是一种患者报告结果的工具，专门用于评估唇腭裂患者与健康相关的生活质量。本研究旨在制作芬兰语版的 CLEFT-Q 问卷并进行语言验证：设计：根据国际药物经济学与结果研究学会的指导方针，将 CLEFT-Q 问卷翻译成芬兰语。对问卷目标年龄段（8-29 岁）和不同裂隙类型的患者进行了认知汇报访谈试点测试：结果：CLEFT-Q 问卷很容易翻译成芬兰语。结果：CLEFT-Q 问卷很容易翻译成芬兰语。13 名患者（10 名女性和 3 名男性，中位年龄为 14 岁）参加了认知汇报访谈。访谈中又有 9 个单词被修改。试点研究数据表明，芬兰语版问卷的表现与原版 CLEFT-Q 问卷一致：在此编制的芬兰语版 CLEFT-Q 在语言上是有效的，可用于评估 CL/P 患者与健康相关的生活质量。不过，今后还需要在芬兰患者群体中进一步评估CLEFT-Q的有效性和可靠性。
