Abstract
Introduction: Experiences related to pediatric oncology diagnosis cause great imbalances within the family structure. Assessing the frailties and needs of families and children with cancer from a psychosocial perspective is an important step in providing appropriate pediatric psychology care.
Methods: The aim of this study was to develop an Italian translation of the last version of the Psychosocial Assessment Tool questionnaire (PAT 3.1) and to pilot-test it among pediatric oncological families. The guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of health-related quality of life measures were followed. Specifically, two independent forward translations were produced, followed by a reconciliation step by a multidisciplinary expert committee and back-translation. Revision of the original text and all translations were performed by the expert committee leading to a final version, which was pilot-tested by cognitive debriefing on five families. Subsequently, the final Italian PAT 3.1 version was approved.
Results: The Italian version of the PAT 3.1 generated in the present study is a useful instrument to examine the psychosocial risk of the families with a child with cancer.
Conclusions: This instrument will be a valuable tool for future clinical trials and it will help clinicians to target specific pediatric psychology support intervention. The questionnaire will be further validated through a multicenter Italian study on psychosocial screening of pediatric oncology and pediatric general diseases.
简介与儿科肿瘤诊断相关的经历会导致家庭结构严重失衡。从社会心理角度评估患癌家庭和患癌儿童的弱点和需求,是提供适当儿科心理治疗的重要一步:本研究的目的是开发社会心理评估工具问卷(PAT 3.1)最新版本的意大利语译本,并在儿科肿瘤家庭中进行试点测试。研究遵循了健康相关生活质量测量的跨文化适应指南。具体来说,首先制作了两份独立的正向译文,然后由一个多学科专家委员会进行调和并进行回译。专家委员会对原文和所有译文进行修订,最终形成最终版本,并通过对五个家庭的认知汇报进行了试点测试。随后,意大利语 PAT 3.1 最终版本获得批准:结果:本研究中产生的意大利语版 PAT 3.1 是一种有用的工具,可用于检查癌症患儿家庭的社会心理风险:该工具将成为未来临床试验的重要工具,并将帮助临床医生有针对性地采取儿科心理支持干预措施。该问卷将通过意大利一项关于儿科肿瘤和儿科普通疾病社会心理筛查的多中心研究得到进一步验证。
期刊介绍:
Tumori Journal covers all aspects of cancer science and clinical practice with a strong focus on prevention, translational medicine and clinically relevant reports. We invite the publication of randomized trials and reports on large, consecutive patient series that investigate the real impact of new techniques, drugs and devices inday-to-day clinical practice.
