The Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale is a valid and reliable measure used to assess perceived parental self-efficacy, which is a critical component in facilitating adaptation to parenthood. In the current study, we translated the original version of the scale, developed in Australia, into Japanese and examined the validity and reliability of the translation, including its factor structure. A Web-based survey was administered to 316 mothers of children aged 0-12 months between May and June 2016. The results revealed that the Japanese version had a two factor structure: "self-efficacy for infant care" and "self-efficacy for parental role". The concurrent/convergent validity of the Japanese version was examined with an acceptable Cronbach's alpha coefficient for each subscale. The present findings indicate that the Japanese version of the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale is a valid and reliable measure to assess parenting self-efficacy among Japanese mothers of infants. The results suggest further assessment of parental self-efficacy by using each subscale. Additionally, future studies should replicate the factor structures across varied or large populations.
卡瑞丹父母自信量表是一种有效的、可靠的衡量工具，用于评估父母的自我效能感，这是促进适应父母身份的关键组成部分。在目前的研究中，我们将该量表的原始版本（在澳大利亚开发）翻译成了日语，并检验了翻译的有效性和可靠性，包括其因素结构。我们于 2016 年 5 月至 6 月期间在网上对 316 名 0-12 个月大婴儿的母亲进行了调查。结果表明，日语版有两个因素结构：“婴儿护理自我效能”和“父母角色自我效能”。日语版的同时效/聚合效度通过每个分量表的可接受的克朗巴赫 α 系数来检验。本研究结果表明，卡瑞丹父母自信量表的日语版是一种有效的、可靠的衡量工具，可以评估日本婴儿母亲的育儿自我效能感。结果表明，应该进一步使用每个分量表来评估父母的自我效能感。此外，未来的研究应该在不同或更大的人群中复制这些因素结构。
