Transcultural adaptation and validation of IMPACT-III and IMPACT-III-P in Spanish families: a multicenter study from SEGHNP.

Abstract

The SEGHNP versions of IMPACT-III and IMPACT-III-P are valid and reliable instruments for Spanish p-IBD families. • IMPACT-III and parent-proxy IMPACT-III (IMPACT-III-P) are useful questionnaires for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (p-IBD) patients and their parents/caregivers and have been translated and validated in several countries. • To date, no transcultural adaptation and validation of these questionnaires have been published for Spanish patients with p-IBD and their families. • This is the first transcultural adaptation and validation of IMPACT-III and IMPACT-III-P for Spanish p-IBD families. • These are valid and reliable instruments for assessing HRQoL in Spanish families of patients with p-IBD.
