Abstract

Background

This study aimed to translate and transculturally adapt the English version of the Pedi-IKDC questionnaire into Korean and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Korean Pedi-IKDC questionnaire in terms of internal consistency, feasibility (floor and ceiling effect), construct validity, test-retest reliability, and factor analysis.

Methods

The original English version of the Pedi-IKDC questionnaire was translated and transculturally adapted into Korean according to established guidelines. A total of 239 patients aged 7–18 years who visited the hospital because of knee pain or discomfort were considered eligible for the study. These patients completed the Korean version of the Pedi-IKDC and Pediatric Quality of Life questionnaires (PedsQL). The correlation between the PedsQL and Pedi-IKDC questionnaires was assessed to confirm the validity of the questionnaire. To verify the validity of the Korean Pedi-IKDC questionnaire, internal consistency, feasibility, test-retest reliability, and construct validity were evaluated, and a factor analysis was performed.

Results

Internal consistency was found to be satisfactory in all subscales (Cronbach’s alpha ≥ 0.7). The test-retest reliability was satisfactorily high for all subscales (Intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.81–0.84). A high correlation was observed between the total Pedi-IKDC score and the score on the physical-health subscale of child version of the PedsQL (Correlation coefficients: 0.720). There were no floor effects in all subscales, but ceiling effects were observed in four questions. Additionally, factor analysis suggested that the questionnaire could be divided into two subscales.

Conclusion

The Korean version of the Pedi-IKDC questionnaire was successfully translated and transculturally adapted according to the established guidelines. The Korean Pedi-IKDC questionnaire has been proven reliable and valid.
