The purpose of this study was to validate the Parent Mealtime Action Scale (PMAS) when applied to a clinical sample of 231 children with feeding problems and then to examine its association with demographic variables, diet, and weight. Parents completed questionnaires that included the PMAS, the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire, and measure of diet variety. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed good fit for the nine dimensions of parent mealtime action found in the original PMAS study. Results from the present study suggest that the PMAS provides a valid tool for measuring parent mealtime actions of hospital samples of children with feeding problems.
本研究旨在验证家长用餐行为量表（PMAS）在 231 名有进食问题的儿童临床样本中的适用性，然后探讨其与人口统计学变量、饮食和体重的关系。家长完成了包括 PMAS、儿童饮食行为问卷和饮食多样性测量在内的问卷。验证性因子分析显示，该量表与原始 PMAS 研究中发现的 9 个维度的家长用餐行为具有良好的拟合度。本研究结果表明，PMAS 为测量有进食问题的住院儿童的家长用餐行为提供了一个有效的工具。
