IMPACT-III and IMPACT-III-P are health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires for patients with pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (p-IBD) and their parents/caregivers. We aimed to perform a transcultural adaptation and validation for the Spanish context. Translation, back-translation, and evaluation of the questionnaires were performed by an expert committee and 12 p-IBD families. We recruited p-IBD patients aged 10–17 and their parents/caregivers. Utility, content, and face validity were considered. Validation was performed with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and varimax rotation. We confirmed the adequacy of the factor analysis using Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s sphericity tests. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed using the following goodness indexes: chi-square, Normed Fit Index (NFI), Root Mean Square Error of Approximation index (RMSEA), Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR), and Comparative Fit Index (CFI). The correlation coefficient between IMPACT-III and IMPACT-III-P was analyzed. We included 370 patients and 356 parents/caregivers (37 hospitals). Both questionnaires had good content and face validity and were considered user-friendly. The KMO measure (0.8998 and 0.9228, respectively) and Bartlett’s sphericity test (p-value < 0.001 for both) confirmed the adequacy of the factor analysis. The 4-factor model, complying with Kaiser’s criterion, explained 89.19% and 88.87% of the variance. Cronbach’s alpha (0.9123 and 0.9383) indicated excellent internal consistency. The CFA showed an adequate fit (NFI 0.941 and 0.918, RMSEA 0.048 and 0.053, SRMR 0.037 and 0.044, and CFI 0.879 and 0.913). The correlation coefficient was excellent (0.92).Conclusion: The SEGHNP versions of IMPACT-III and IMPACT-III-P are valid and reliable instruments for Spanish p-IBD families.[Table Removed]
