Translation Into Simplified Chinese and Cultural Validation of the Pediatric Patient-Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Using Cognitive Interviewing
Conclusions
The Pediatric PRO-CTCAE was successfully developed and linguistically validated among Chinese oncology patients. The results indicated that the Chinese Pediatric PRO-CTCAE was semantically and conceptually equivalent to the English version.
Implications for Practice
The availability of the simplified Chinese Pediatric PRO-CTCAE will facilitate the generation of patient-reported outcome data about symptomatic AEs for children with cancer in China and thus improve our understanding of children’s experience of treatment-related symptoms.
