This study provides information on the psychometric properties of a newly developed Dutch-language instrument for measuring parental perceptions of participation of preschool children (aged 2+ to 5+ years): the PART.
The PART was administered to parents of preschool children with (n = 51) and without (n = 285) physical developmental disabilities. In the group with disabilities, children with no or relatively minor mobility limitations (capability scores in mobility domain higher than one standard deviation below population mean) were excluded from all analyses. A subgroup of parents of children without disabilities (n = 56) filled out the PART a second time, after a five-week interval. Hypotheses regarding group differences in PART scores and correlations of PART scores with different, but related ICF-constructs were tested. Test-retest reliability of the PART scales was examined.
Expectations about group differences were confirmed. PART scores were associated in predicted ways with related constructs. PART scales showed good test-retest reliability (ICCs from 0.76 to 0.87).
These findings indicate that the Dutch-language PART is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring parental perceptions of participation of preschool children with and without mobility limitations. The PART can prove useful for both clinical and research purposes.
本研究提供了新开发的用于测量学前儿童（2+至 5+岁）家长对参与感的荷兰语工具的心理测量学特性信息：PART。
PART 被用于有（n=51）和没有（n=285）身体发育障碍的学前儿童的家长。在残疾组中，排除了所有运动能力领域的残疾儿童（运动能力得分高于群体平均值一个标准差以下）的所有分析。一组没有残疾的儿童的家长（n=56）在五周的间隔后第二次填写了 PART。对 PART 分数的组间差异和 PART 分数与不同但相关的 ICF 结构的相关性的假设进行了测试。还检查了 PART 量表的重测信度。
对组间差异的预期得到了证实。PART 分数以预期的方式与相关结构相关。PART 量表显示出良好的重测信度（ICC 从 0.76 到 0.87）。
这些发现表明，荷兰语版的 PART 是一种可靠和有效的工具，可用于测量有和没有运动障碍的学前儿童的家长对参与感的看法。PART 可用于临床和研究目的。
