Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Considering the high burden of disease in young children measurement of Health-Related Quality of Life is needed to evaluate the burden of morbidity. This study aims to report on the validity and reliability of the isiXhosa EuroQol Toddler and Infant Populations (EQ-TIPS) measure for South Africa.
UNASSIGNED: A sample of 181 caregivers of children 0-36 months were recruited from a hospital in-patient (inpt) and outpatient (outpt) facility and crèches. The EQ-TIPS, Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), Faces, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) and dietary information were administered at baseline. EQ-TIPS was administered one week later in crèche children for test-retest reliability.
UNASSIGNED: Known groups showed significant differences for pain (X2=37.21, p<0.001), and EQ-TIPS level sum score (KWH=25.9, p<0.001) between health groups. The Visual Analogue Scale was unable to discriminate general health between groups (KW-H=3.92, p=0.141). Concurrent validity was weak to moderate and significant for all dimensions hypothesised to correlate. There was significant fair to moderate test-retest reliability for EQ-TIPS dimensions of movement, play, pain and eating.
UNASSIGNED: The isiXhosa EQ-TIPS is valid and reliable for very young children in South Africa and we suggest that it be included in the assessment of children with health conditions within this context.

摘要：
■考虑到幼儿的高疾病负担，需要测量与健康相关的生活质量来评估发病率负担。本研究旨在报告南非isiXhosaEuroQol幼儿和婴儿人群（EQ-TIPS）测量的有效性和可靠性。
■从医院住院（inpt）和门诊（outpt）设施和托儿所招募了181名0-36个月儿童的护理人员。EQ-TIPS,年龄和阶段问卷(ASQ)，面孔,腿,活动,哭吧,在基线时给予协调性(FLACC)和饮食信息。一周后在托儿所儿童中进行EQ-TIPS，以确保测试的可靠性。
■已知组的疼痛差异显著（X2=37.21，p<0.001），健康组之间的EQ-TIPS水平和得分（KWH=25.9，p<0.001）。视觉模拟量表无法区分组间的一般健康状况(KW-H=3.92,p=0.141)。对于假设相关的所有维度，并发效度均为弱至中度且显着。运动的EQ-TIPS维度有显著的中等到中等的重测可靠性，玩,疼痛和吃。
■isiXhosaEQ-TIPS对于南非非常年幼的儿童是有效和可靠的，我们建议在这种情况下将其纳入对有健康状况的儿童的评估中。
