Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Pectus Carinatum Body Image Quality of Life Questionnaire for Patients With Pectus Carinatum

In children with severe pectus carinatum, a significant loss of self-esteem, impairment in social behavior due to a decrease in quality of life associated with physical appearance and mental health has been reported. However, a questionnaire measuring these problems specific to this disease is not available in Turkish. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Pectus Carinatum Body Image Quality of Life Questionnaire (PeCBI-QOL) in patients with Pectus Carinatum.

Primary outcomes

Pectus Carinatum Body Image Quality of Life Questionnaire

Time frame: 15-21 days

A questionnaire (Pectus Carinatum Body Image Quality of Life Questionnaire, PeCBI-QOL) was developed by Paulson et al. to be applied in the follow-up of Pectus Carinatum patients. The questionnaire includes 18 items for patients and 15 items for their families. The questionnaire has no validity and reliability in Turkish.

Secondary outcomes

The Pectus Excavatum Evaluation Questionnaire

Time frame: 15-21 days

The Pectus Excavatum Evaluation Questionnaire (PEEQ) was developed and validated by Lawson et al to measure the physical and psychosocial quality-of-life changes after surgical repair of pectus excavatum. Each of the 17 items in the PEEQ is in a Likert scale format, where low scores indicate better outcome.
