ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the cross-cultural validation process of the “DISABKIDS” questionnaire in Colombia, for both the children and adolescents’ version and the parents’ version, an instrument intended to measure the health-related quality of life of Colombian children and adolescents with chronic diseases. Method: the cross-cultural validation process was conducted according to an international consensual systematic methodology, called standardized linguistic validation, to ensure linguistic equivalence with the original questionnaire. Results: the pretest’s cognitive interviews revealed a need to adjust the questionnaire, which consisted of asking for “health condition” rather than only asking for “condition”. Due to the cultural context, the word “condition” used in the original version, when translated to Spanish, refers to socioeconomic conditions rather than health conditions. For this reason, 11 items in the children’s version and eight items in the parents’ version were adjusted. Conclusions: the Colombian version of DISABKIDS-37 to measure health-related quality of life among children and adolescents with chronic diseases in both the children’s and parents’ versions is equivalent to the original version and is appropriate for use in Colombia. Future studies can assess the questionnaire’s psychometric properties.
