The objective of the current study was to assess the factor structure of the Illness Behavior Encouragement Scale (IBES) by Walker and Zeman (1992) among children with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). Two hundred seventy nine children (63 % female), and 135 primary caregivers (90.8 % mothers), recruited from a large Midwestern children's hospital completed the IBES, a 12-item measure of parental behavior in response to abdominal pain episodes. Findings suggested the IBES possesses two conceptually distinct scales that are invariant across parent self- and child-report, and are consistent with previous factor analysis in a Dutch sample of children with headaches. Different types of parental behaviors exist that naturally cluster and diverge in reliable ways. Future research is warranted to determine if these different types of parental behavior may differentially influence illness outcomes among children with FGIDs.
本研究的目的是评估沃克和泽曼（1992年）编制的疾病行为鼓励量表（IBES）在功能性胃肠疾病（FGIDs）儿童中的因子结构。从一家大型中西部儿童医院招募的279名儿童（63%为女性）和135名主要照顾者（90.8%为母亲）完成了IBES，这是一项针对父母对腹痛发作反应行为的12项测量工具。研究结果表明，IBES具有两个概念上不同的量表，这些量表在父母自评和儿童报告中是不变的，并且与之前对荷兰头痛儿童样本的因子分析结果一致。存在不同类型的父母行为，它们以可靠的方式自然聚类和分化。有必要进行进一步研究，以确定这些不同类型的父母行为是否可能对FGIDs儿童的疾病结局产生不同影响。
