Preschool Activity Card Sort (PACS) is a valid measure of preschoolers' participation and is a useful and unique tool for focusing on the extent and frequency of their participation. However, given the cultural differences between Japan and other countries, researchers should consider these differences when adapting the PACS for use with children in Japan. The purpose of this study was to select culturally suitable activity items to develop the Japanese version of PACS (PACS-JPN). A two-round survey of parents (who had typically developing children aged between 3 and 6 years) was conducted. The final version of the PACS-JPN included 98 activity items. The PACS-JPN reflects Japanese sociocultural background and allows occupational therapists to assess preschoolers' actual participation by assessing multiple aspects of children's community life. The psychometric properties, including the validity and reliability of the PACS-JPN should be examined in future research.
学前活动卡片分类评估（PACS）是一种有效的评估学龄前儿童参与度的方法，也是一种关注其参与程度和频率的有用且独特的工具。然而，由于日本和其他国家之间存在文化差异，研究人员在将 PACS 应用于日本儿童时应考虑到这些差异。本研究旨在选择在文化上合适的活动项目，以开发日本版 PACS（PACS-JPN）。对父母（其孩子通常在 3 至 6 岁之间）进行了两轮调查。PACS-JPN 的最终版本包括 98 个活动项目。PACS-JPN 反映了日本的社会文化背景，使职业治疗师能够通过评估儿童社区生活的多个方面来评估学龄前儿童的实际参与情况。在未来的研究中，应检验 PACS-JPN 的心理测量学特性，包括其有效性和可靠性。
