The authors developed and tested a novel measure of parenting self-efficacy specifically for recently widowed parents of dependent-age children. They tested the scale among 244 recently widowed fathers via an open-access web survey. Exploratory factor analysis identified 3 factors: perception of meeting parenting expectations (α = .88), provision of effective discipline (α = .69), and sense of parental burden (α = .69). Scores on the new scale correlated positively with Kansas Parenting Satisfaction and Psychological Adaptation Scale scores, and negatively with CES-D (depression) and TRIG (grief) scale scores. The resulting 9-item Widowed Parenting Self Efficacy Scale is a promising measure for use in research and clinical settings.
作者开发并测试了一种新的针对最近丧偶且有未成年子女的父母的育儿自我效能感的衡量方法。他们通过一个开放获取的网络调查,对 244 名最近丧偶的父亲进行了测试。探索性因素分析确定了 3 个因素:满足育儿期望的感知(α=0.88)、提供有效的纪律(α=0.69)和父母负担感(α=0.69)。新量表的得分与堪萨斯育儿满意度和心理适应量表的得分呈正相关,与 CES-D(抑郁)和 TRIG(悲伤)量表的得分呈负相关。由此产生的 9 项丧偶父母育儿自我效能感量表是一种有前途的研究和临床应用的衡量方法。
