Abstract
Prosthesis use can significantly influence children’s engagement in physical activity and their well-being. As there is currently not yet an instrument to assess well-being in young children who use a prosthesis, this study aims to take a first step by providing a valuable overview of well-being, quality of life, and prosthesis use in children and developing a questionnaire about well-being for young children in a healthy population. In the current study, quantitative and qualitative research are combined in an exploratory sequential design. The participants, 79 primary school children (retest: 41), completed an online self-administered questionnaire in Qualtrics with an initial amount of 16 questions about their well-being. A principal component analysis (oblimin rotation) combined with a parallel analysis suggested a three- component model with 12 remaining items, with a total explained variance of 54.96%. The components are interpreted as emotional distress, social participation, and enjoyment. Internal reliability and test-retest reliability could not be established for every component. The current study provided valuable preliminary information and a foundation for further development of a well-being questionnaire for young children with and without a prosthesis. Future research should focus on revising items, expanding sample sizes and performing confirmatory analysis in both healthy and clinical samples.
