title: [Creation and cross-cultural adaptation of ukrainian versions of questionnaires for assessment of quality of life of children with atopic dermatitis and their families].
abstract: Origional versions of the Dermatitis Family Impact, Infant's Dermatitis Quality of Life Index and Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaires have been translated into Ukrainian independently by two translators and then back- translation was done by other translators. Total number of forward or back-translation was 6. A final back-translation was approved by one of the authors and copyright owner, prof. A.Y. Finlay. The probe technique for pre-testing was used. Retest reliability, discriminant validity and over time sensitivity have been checked. 60 children with atopic dermatitis received Trixera emollient cream for a month that led to decrease of their SCORAD (P<0.01) score and was followed by improvement of both health-related and family quality of life (P<0.01). It was confirmed high sensitivity of the questionnaires to successful therapeutic intervention. Ukrainian versions of the Dermatitis Family Impact, Infant's Dermatitis Quality of Life Index and Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaires could be used for practical and research reasons as important sources of additional information.
