This study was used to (1) develop an occupational therapy screening questionnaire (the Handwriting Proficiency Screening Questionnaire [HPSQ]) to identify handwriting difficulties among school-aged children and (2) examine its reliability and validity.
The questionnaire's content validity was established. Internal consistency, interrater and test-retest reliability, and concurrent and construct validity were initiated. Participants included 7- to 14-year-old (N = 230) typically developing school-aged children.
The tool demonstrated good internal consistency (alpha = .90). Test-retest reliability for the score revealed an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of .84 and interrater reliability of ICC = .92 for the total questionnaire score. Construct and concurrent validity were also confirmed.
The HPSQ is suitable for use by occupational therapists for identification of handwriting deficiency among school-aged children and is appropriate for varied academic and clinical uses. More studies with larger samples of varied age groups are required to further support the questionnaire's reliability and validity.
本研究旨在（1）编制一份职业治疗筛查问卷（笔迹能力筛查问卷[HPSQ]），以识别学龄儿童的书写困难，以及（2）检验其信度和效度。
确立了问卷的内容效度。开展了内部一致性、评分者间信度和重测信度，以及同时效度和结构效度的研究。参与者包括7至14岁（N = 230）发育正常的学龄儿童。
该工具显示出良好的内部一致性（α = 0.90）。分数的重测信度显示组内相关系数（ICC）为0.84，问卷总分的评分者间信度为ICC = 0.92。结构效度和同时效度也得到了证实。
HPSQ适合职业治疗师用于识别学龄儿童的书写缺陷，适用于各种学术和临床用途。需要更多针对不同年龄组大样本的研究，以进一步支持该问卷的信度和效度。
