Parent engagement is a well-documented challenge when delivering child and adolescent mental health treatments. Therapists' internal experiences, and how they respond to parents, may create a barrier to the parent engagement process. The current study developed the 13-item Therapist Barriers to Engaging Parents measure (TBEP) to assess providers' internal and external experiences that operate as barriers to parent engagement. The TBEP was completed by 148 child and family therapists across the United States. The TBEP demonstrated strong internal reliability (Cronbach α = .86), and was negatively correlated with counselor efficacy, and significantly positively correlated with burnout, indicating convergent validity. Incremental validity of the subscales of the TBEP was also demonstrated. The TBEP appears to be a psychometrically sound measure of the internal barriers mental health providers experience when trying to engage parents.
在提供儿童和青少年心理健康治疗时，家长参与是一个有充分记录的挑战。治疗师的内心体验以及他们对家长的反应，可能会给家长参与过程造成障碍。当前的研究开发了一个包含13个条目的治疗师与家长接触障碍量表（TBEP），以评估作为家长参与障碍的提供者的内部和外部体验。美国各地的148名儿童和家庭治疗师完成了TBEP。TBEP显示出很强的内部信度（克朗巴赫α系数=0.86），与咨询师效能呈负相关，与倦怠呈显著正相关，表明具有收敛效度。TBEP各分量表的增量效度也得到了证明。TBEP似乎是一种心理测量学上合理的测量方法，用于评估心理健康提供者在试图让家长参与时所经历的内部障碍。
