TL;DR
A reasonably coherent notion of HRQOL underlies instruments available for children and adolescents and measurement in young people is still in its developmental step.

Quality of Life ResearchAssessing health-related quality of life in chronically ill children with the German KINDL: first psychometric and content analytical results
1,116 Citations1998Ulrike Ravens‐Sieberer, Monika Bullinger
The results of psychometric testing in these populations showed that the German KINDL is a reliable, valid and practical instrument to assess the health-related quality of life of children which should be supplemented by disease-specific modules and needs to be further tested in clinical populations.

Evaluation of measures broadly designed to measure quality of life (QoL) in children and adolescents, either by self-report or proxy raters found some evidence for greater concordance between child and parent for physical functioning compared with social and emotional domains, but greater heterogeneity in the latter measures may contribute to inconsistent results.

A small number of measures of quality of life (QoL) are identified which fulfil basic requirements and could be used to assess QoL in clinical trials or following interventions and the cultural appropriateness of measures developed elsewhere for children in the UK is assessed.

The conceptualization and results of a study aiming to develop an instrument to assess the HRQoL of children aged 6–15 years using their parents as a proxy look promising, and the psychometric performance of the TACQOL parent form looks promising, which suggests that this instrument– with some modifications–can indeed be used to assess group differences in HRQos in children.

There is currently little support for the contention that most chronically ill children experience poorer peer relations than healthy children, and suggestions for future research, including examination of variables that mediate the impact of illness, are discussed.
