Sufrimiento infantojuvenil en cuidados paliativos pediátricos en España: propiedades psicométricas de la escala qESNA
Objective
To analyze the psychometric properties of the qESNA scale and its usefulness to assess the suffering of paediatric patients with life-limiting and/or life-threatening diseases (children with LLTC) in clinical practice.
Methods
Cross-sectional and longitudinal study in 58 patients in Spain (female, 32.8%; mean age, 15.6 [SD, 4.5]; age range, 8-23 years), with administration of the qESNA scale along with other scales to assess anxiety, depression, emotional changes and psychosocial functioning. We performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and calculated goodness-of-fit indices were calculated; we assessed reliability by means of the Cronbach alpha and temporal stability and convergent validity through the intraclass correlation coefficient with scales used to assess psychological disorders and the specificity and sensitivity through ROC curves.
Results
The factor analysis identified a 14-item scale with 3 factors, a comparative fit index of 0.93, a Tucker-Lewis index of 0.91 and a root mean square error of approximation of 0.07. the Cronbach alpha was 0.85 and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.66. The convergent validity was high for the correlation to the risk of depression (−0.69) and of anxiety (−0.60) and emotional changes (−0.59). The analysis of the ROC curves showed that a score of less than 81 would be indicative of suffering, with a sensitivity of 83.33% and a specificity of 93.48%.
Conclusions
This study confirmed that the psychometric properties of the qESNA scale are good and the scale's usefulness as an instrument to detect emotional suffering in children with life-limiting or life-threatening illnesses in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
La Asociación Española de Pediatría tiene como uno de sus objetivos principales la difusión de información científica rigurosa y actualizada sobre las distintas áreas de la pediatría. Anales de Pediatría es el Órgano de Expresión Científica de la Asociación y constituye el vehículo a través del cual se comunican los asociados. Publica trabajos originales sobre investigación clínica en pediatría procedentes de España y países latinoamericanos, así como artículos de revisión elaborados por los mejores profesionales de cada especialidad, las comunicaciones del congreso anual y los libros de actas de la Asociación, y guías de actuación elaboradas por las diferentes Sociedades/Secciones Especializadas integradas en la Asociación Española de Pediatría.
