The lack of a suitable assessment tool may limit optimal stress management and impair the health-related quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis. The purpose of the study was to examine latent constructs and psychometric properties of the Vietnamese Hemodialysis Stressor Scale (HSS-V). In total, 180 patients receiving hemodialysis were recruited. Psychometric properties of the HSS-V, including the construct validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability, were tested after the instrument translation. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 24-item HSS-V with four extracted factors, which explained 58.32% of the total variance. The construct validity was confirmed by significant negative correlations between scores on the HSS-V and Vietnamese-version Short Form-36. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .82-.91) and test–retest reliability (intra-class correlations coefficient = .91-.94) of the 24-item HSS-V were satisfactory. A simple structure and preliminary acceptable psychometric properties of the HSS-V were established and can serve as a basis for further studies.

Introducción: Las unidades de cuidados intensivos son conocidas como ambientes de alto estrés para los familiares, este puede ser mayor cuando el paciente es un hijo/hija y los padres deben enfrentar la enfermedad y el ambiente hospitalario. El instrumento “The Parental Stressor Scale Infant Hospitalization (PSSIH), es una herramienta utilizada para medir estresores en Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos (UCIP), sin embargo, la escala no está validada en Chile. El objetivo de este estudio es validar y adaptar culturalmente el instrumento “The Parental Stressor Scale Infant Hospitalization modificado” en madres/padres de niños hospitalizados en la UCIP de un Hospital Universitario.Método: Estudio instrumental de validación. Luego de traducir y contratraducir la versión en inglés del instrumento, un grupo de 10 profesionales expertos evaluó la adaptación al español. Luego 10 padres/ madres de niños hospitalizados en la UCIP evaluaron la comprensión del instrumento. Las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento fueron evaluadas utilizando un análisis factorial exploratorio y alfa de Cronbach.Resultados: Se aplicó en una muestra de 221 padres/madres la versión chilena del “PSSIH modificado”, tuvo mínimas modificaciones semánticas y los jueces expertos consideraron adecuado el instrumento, por lo que no fue necesario borrar ningún ítem. Se eligió la solución de 3 dimensiones, que explicaron el 48,89% de la varianza total del instrumento. El alfa de Cronbach fue de 0,885, 0,902 y 0,703 respectivamente para cada dimensión.Conclusión: El PSSIH modificado ha demostrado ser un instrumento confiable y valido en una muestra de niños chilenos hospitalizados en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos de un hospital universitario , cuyo nombre en español es “Escala de Evaluación de Estresores Parentales en niños hospitalizados en Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos” (EEEP – UCIP).

Purpose This study provided reference data and examined psychometric properties for clausal density (CD; i.e., number of clauses per utterance) in children between ages 4 and 9 years from the database of the Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument (ENNI). Method Participants in the ENNI database included 300 children with typical language (TL) and 77 children with language impairment (LI) between the ages of 4;0 (years;months) and 9;11. Narrative samples were collected using a story generation task, in which children were asked to tell stories based on six picture sequences. CD was computed from the narrative samples. The split-half reliability, concurrent criterion validity, and diagnostic accuracy were evaluated for CD by age. Results CD scores increased significantly between ages 4 and 9 years in children with TL and those with LI. Children with TL produced higher CD scores than those with LI at each age level. In addition, the correlation coefficients for the split-half reliability and concurrent criterion validity of CD scores were all significant at each age level, with the magnitude ranging from small to large. The diagnostic accuracy of CD scores, as revealed by sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios, was poor. Conclusions The finding on diagnostic accuracy did not support the use of CD for identifying children with LI between ages 4 and 9 years. However, given the attested reliability and validity for CD, reference data of CD from the ENNI database can be used for evaluating children's difficulties with complex syntax and monitoring their change over time.
