Sumario:Introduction: According to the holistic view of occupational therapy, it is known that caregiving for children with special needs affects their family in various ways. The life participation of parents with a child with special needs are related to the child, the therapy and child-parents adaptation. Therefore, during the caregiving/occupational therapy process, there is a need for valid and reliable scales to evaluate the life of parents' participation. Objective: The aim of this study was to adapt the Life Participation of Parents scale (LPP) into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. Methods: LPP was culturally adapted via suggested by Beaton et al. One hundred-eighty-six parents of children with disabilities (Age range: 18-55 y/o,154 female) completed the LPP. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA, CFA) was conducted to investigate the factor structure of Turkish version of LPP (LPP-T). Reliability was tested by internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Internal consistency of the instrument was given as Cronbach's alpha. Test-retest reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient. Results: According to the EFA, it was determined that 11 items were collected in a single factor and factor load explained 40,816% of the total variance. According to the CFA, it was seen that the single-dimension scale structure consisting of 11 questions generally fit acceptable in this scale. The LPP-T demonstrated good internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha of 0.849 for the total scale. The test-retest reliability was good (with ICC of 0.875). Conclusion: The LPP-T had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability for parents of children with disabilities. This scale was adapted into Turkish to guide Turkish occupational therapists working in the field of pediatrics in planning interventions to support the life participation of parents.
Introdução: De acordo com a visao holistica da terapia ocupacional, sabe-se que o cuidado a crianca com necessidades especiais afeta sua familia de diversas formas. A participacao na vida dos pais de um filho com necessidades especiais esta relacionada com a crianca, a terapia e a adaptacao pais-filho. Portanto, durante o processo de cuidado/terapia ocupacional, ha necessidade de escalas validas e confiaveis para avaliar a participacao dos pais em suas vidas. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar a escala de Participacao na Vida dos Pais (PVP) para o turco e examinar suas propriedades psicometricas. Métodos: O PVP foi adaptado culturalmente via sugestao de Beaton et al. Cento e oitenta e seis pais de criancas com deficiencia (Faixa etaria: 18-55 anos, 154 mulheres) completaram o PVP. A analise fatorial exploratoria e confirmatoria (AFE, AFC) foi conduzida para investigar a estrutura fatorial do PVP. A confiabilidade foi testada pela consistencia interna e confiabilidade teste-reteste. A consistencia interna do instrumento foi dada como alfa de Cronbach. A confiabilidade teste-reteste foi avaliada pelo coeficiente de correlacao intraclasse. Resultados: De acordo com a AFE, foi determinado que 11 itens foram coletados em um unico fator e a carga fatorial explicou 40,816% da variancia total. De acordo com o AFC, observou-se que a estrutura da escala unidimensional composta por 11 questoes geralmente se ajusta de forma aceitavel nessa escala. O PVP demonstrou boa consistencia interna, com alfa de Cronbach de 0,849 para a escala total. A confiabilidade teste-reteste foi boa (com ICC de 0,875). Conclusão: A adaptacao turca do PVP apresentou boa consistencia interna e confiabilidade teste-reteste para pais de criancas com deficiencia. Esta escala foi adaptada para o turco para orientar os terapeutas ocupacionais turcos que trabalham no campo da pediatria no planeamento de intervencoes para apoiar a participacao dos pais.
