Abstract

Background

To translate and investigate the validity and test–retest reliability of the Vietnamese Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (vPEDI).

Methods

The PEDI was translated and adapted following established guidelines, including forward translation, reconciliation and back translation. Content validity was assessed by expert panels, and the Iitem-Content Validity Index (I-CVI), universal Agreement among experts Scale-Content Validity Index (S-CVI/UA) and the Average CVI (S-CVI/Ave) were calculated. The kappa statistics tested the level of agreement among content experts. The face validity was assessed by determining the percentage of each level of the rating of easiness to understand as rated by 32 caregivers. A total of 446 Vietnamese children ages 6–90 months were recruited to assess the normal raw scores by administering the Vietnamese PEDI. From this total, 50 children were evaluated twice within 2 weeks to examine the test–retest reliability of the vPEDI using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Bland–Altman analysis.

Results

The vPEDI required minor modifications to be responsive to the culture and typical daily activities in Vietnam. The I-CVI for all domains was above 0.8. The S-CVI/UA and S-CVI/Ave for clarity and relevance were from 0.78 to 0.98. Face validity ratings indicated high understandability. The test–retest reliability of all domains was excellent with ICCs above 0.93.

Conclusion

The vPEDI is a valid and reliable tool for assessing functional abilities in Vietnamese children. Healthcare providers can use the vPEDI to set individual goals and guide intervention strategies for contexts and environments relevant to Vietnam.

背景：翻译并研究越南儿童残疾评估量表（vPEDI）的有效性和重测可靠性：翻译并研究越南儿科残疾评估量表（vPEDI）的有效性和重测可靠性：方法：按照既定准则对 PEDI 进行翻译和改编，包括正译、调和与反译。内容效度由专家小组进行评估，并计算了项目-内容效度指数（I-CVI）、专家间普遍同意量表-内容效度指数（S-CVI/UA）和平均CVI（S-CVI/Ave）。卡帕统计检验了内容专家之间的一致程度。面效度是通过确定 32 位照顾者对易懂程度的各等级评分的百分比来评估的。我们共招募了 446 名 6 至 90 个月大的越南儿童，通过使用越南语 PEDI 来评估他们的正常原始分数。其中，50 名儿童在两周内接受了两次评估，采用类内相关系数（ICC）和布兰登-阿尔特曼分析法检验了 vPEDI 的测试-再测可靠性：结果：vPEDI 需要稍作修改才能适应越南的文化和典型的日常活动。所有领域的 I-CVI 均高于 0.8。清晰度和相关性的 S-CVI/UA 和 S-CVI/Ave 为 0.78 至 0.98。表面效度评级显示出较高的可理解性。所有领域的测试-再测信度都非常好，ICC 均高于 0.93：vPEDI是评估越南儿童功能能力的有效而可靠的工具。医疗保健提供者可使用 vPEDI 设定个人目标，并针对与越南相关的背景和环境指导干预策略。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
