Résumé
The objective was to determine the interest and psychometric properties of a new QOL self-assessment questionnaire suitable for children 8-12 years old measuring alpha, beta and gamma changes: the "Inventaire Syst,mique de Qualit, de vie pour Enfants" (ISQV-E-A (c)). This was a cross-sectional validation study. 288 children have completed the ISQV-E. Other tools were used: The "Autoquestionnaire de Qualit, de Vie Enfants Imag," (AUQUEI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC), the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). The internal consistency of the four scores of the ISQV-E (state, goal, rank and gap) is satisfactory. All scores have their own specificity. The data show the convergent validity, sensitivity and applicability of the ISQV-E. On the other hand, no satisfactory factorial structure was found although a multidimensional theoretical perspective was applied. The feasibility of the ISQV-E seems clearly demonstrated and the value of this new tool seems evident in contexts of physical, psychological or social problems. The validation study was promising but certain points such as test-retest reliability remain to be studied.
