To establish the construct validity and internal consistency of the Arabic Children Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE) and Preferences for Activities of Children (PAC) and to determine the effects of age, gender, and disability status on diversity and intensity of participation.
The World Health Organization guidelines for translation of measures were applied to translate the CAPE and PAC, 75 children with cerebral palsy (mean age = 10.7 ± 2.9 years) and 75 children with typical development (mean age = 10.8 ± 2.7 years) completed the translated measures. The construct validity of the translated measures was demonstrated by principle component analyses in addition to the known-groups method by examining the effects of age, gender, and presence of disability on diversity and intensity scores. The internal consistencies of the extracted components were examined by Cronbach's alpha.
Four components emerged: (1) physical activities; (2) home-based activities; (3) self-improvement activities; and (4) social activities. Cronbach's alpha varied from 0.61 (social activities) to 0.83 (physical activities). Age, gender, and disability were significant determinants of types of activities.
The Arabic CAPE and PAC are culturally valid in measuring participation of children with or without disabilities in Jordan. The child's age, gender, and disability should be considered to provide participation-based plans of care that are considerate for children and their families. Implications for rehabilitation The Arabic CAPE and PAC are culturally valid measures for participation of children with or without disabilities in Jordan. The Arabic CAPE and PAC measures can guide participation-based plans of care that are meaningful and considerate for children and their families. Child age and gender should be considered to provide appropriate activities and to facilitate participation of children with and without disabilities. Families and service providers in Jordon are encouraged to provide children opportunities to participate in desired physical, self-improvement, and social activities.
确立阿拉伯语儿童参与和享受评估（CAPE）和儿童活动偏好（PAC）的结构效度和内部一致性，并确定年龄、性别和残疾状况对参与多样性和强度的影响。
采用世界卫生组织的测量翻译指南对 CAPE 和 PAC 进行翻译，75 名脑瘫儿童（平均年龄 10.7 ± 2.9 岁）和 75 名发育正常的儿童（平均年龄 10.8 ± 2.7 岁）完成了翻译后的测量。通过主成分分析和已知群体法来检验年龄、性别和残疾状况对多样性和强度得分的影响，证明了翻译后测量的结构效度。通过 Cronbach's alpha 检验提取成分的内部一致性。
四个成分出现：（1）体育活动；（2）家庭活动；（3）自我提升活动；（4）社会活动。Cronbach's alpha 从 0.61（社会活动）到 0.83（体育活动）不等。年龄、性别和残疾是活动类型的重要决定因素。
阿拉伯语 CAPE 和 PAC 在测量约旦有无残疾儿童的参与方面具有文化效度。应考虑儿童的年龄、性别和残疾状况，为儿童及其家庭提供基于参与的护理计划。
阿拉伯语 CAPE 和 PAC 是约旦有或没有残疾儿童参与的文化有效测量工具。阿拉伯语 CAPE 和 PAC 测量工具可以指导有意义和考虑到儿童及其家庭的基于参与的护理计划。应考虑儿童的年龄和性别，为他们提供适当的活动，并促进残疾和非残疾儿童的参与。鼓励约旦的家庭和服务提供者为儿童提供参与他们期望的身体、自我提升和社会活动的机会。
