Résumé

Les objectifs de cette recherche sont de (1) présenter l’adaptation française du Patient Generated Index (PGI, [17]), (2) tester ses qualités psychométriques et (3) d’examiner les limites pratiques de cet outil. Pour ce faire, deux études ont été conduites. La première est une étude qualitative avec 18 participants qui ont indiqué leurs difficultés et leurs commentaires pour compléter la première traduction à rebours du questionnaire. La seconde étude teste les qualités psychométriques de la version française adaptée et révisée du PGI sur 97 patients traités pour un cancer. Pour tester la validité de critère de l’outil, ils ont aussi rempli le Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (QLQ-C30), le Profile Of Mood States (POMS) et le Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Au regard des résultats, le PGI présente une bonne sensibilité et validité. Néanmoins une stabilité test-retest semble être à améliorer.

Abstract

The aims of this research are to (1) present the French version of the Patient Generated Index (PGI, [17]), (2) test its psychometric characteristics and (3) examine the tool’s practical limitations. To achieve those goals, we conducted two studies. The first was a qualitative study of 18 participants who indicated their difficulties and expressed other comments concerning the completion of an initial back translation of the PGI. The second study tested the psychometric qualities of the adapted and revised back translation of the PGI with 97 cancer patients. To assess criterion validity, they also completed the Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (QLQ-C30), Profile of Mood States (POMS) and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). The results indicate that PGI has good sensitivity, validity and test-retest stability. Test-retest reliability, nevertheless, must be improved.
