Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Determination was made of the validity of the Kidscreen52 questionnaire to measure health-related quality of life in 71 patients aged 8-18 years diagnosed with strabismus.
Results: The Kidscreen52 questionnaire is a valid tool to measure health-related quality of life among children and adolescents with strabismus and a Cronbach's alpha above 0.7.
Conclusions: Kidscreen52 is a useful tool to measure 10 health-related quality of life parameters: physical well-being, psychological well-being, mood, self-perception, autonomy, relations with parents and family life, economic resources, friends and social support, school environment and social acceptance (bullying).
