Parents play a significant role in shaping youth physical activity (PA). However, interventions targeting PA parenting have been ineffective. Methodological inconsistencies related to the measurement of parental influences may be a contributing factor. The purpose of this article is to review the extant peer-reviewed literature related to the measurement of general and specific parental influences on youth PA.
A systematic review of studies measuring constructs of PA parenting was conducted. Computerized searches were completed using PubMed, MEDLINE, Academic Search Premier, SPORTDiscus, and PsycINFO. Reference lists of the identified articles were manually reviewed as well as the authors' personal collections. Articles were selected on the basis of strict inclusion criteria and details regarding the measurement protocols were extracted. A total of 117 articles met the inclusionary criteria. Methodological articles that evaluated the validity and reliability of PA parenting measures (n=10) were reviewed separately from parental influence articles (n=107).
A significant percentage of studies used measures with indeterminate validity and reliability. A significant percentage of articles did not provide sample items, describe the response format, or report the possible range of scores. No studies were located that evaluated sensitivity to change.
The reporting of measurement properties and the use of valid and reliable measurement scales need to be improved considerably.
父母在塑造青少年身体活动(PA)方面发挥着重要作用。然而,针对 PA 养育的干预措施一直没有效果。与父母影响的测量相关的方法学不一致可能是一个促成因素。本文的目的是回顾有关测量父母对青少年 PA 的一般和特定影响的现有同行评议文献。
对测量 PA 养育结构的研究进行了系统回顾。使用 PubMed、MEDLINE、Academic Search Premier、SPORTDiscus 和 PsycINFO 进行了计算机检索。还手动审查了确定的文章的参考文献列表以及作者的个人收藏。根据严格的纳入标准选择文章,并提取测量协议的详细信息。共有 117 篇文章符合纳入标准。分别从父母影响文章(n=107)和评估 PA 养育措施的有效性和可靠性的方法学文章(n=10)中进行了审查。
相当一部分研究使用了有效性和可靠性不确定的措施。相当一部分文章没有提供样本项目、描述响应格式或报告可能的分数范围。没有找到评估对变化敏感的研究。
需要大大改进测量特性的报告和使用有效和可靠的测量量表。
