Childhood maltreatment is a global problem, for which the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) has developed the Child Abuse Screening Tool-Child, Home Version (ICAST-CH) to obtain data concerning childhood maltreatment. The study aimed to translate the English version of the ICAST-CH into the Malay language and to assess its reliability and validity.
The original English version of the ICAST-CH was first translated into the Malay language. Its content and face validity were tested among five independent individuals. A cross-sectional study using the Malay version (ICAST-CH-M) was then conducted with 255 students in a secondary school in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. The data collected was used to examine the instrument's internal consistency and construct validity. The best ICAST-CH-M model was achieved after varimax rotation application.
The analysis showed that the Malay version of the ICAST-CH had satisfactory internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.59-0.77. The exploratory factor analysis confirmed the validity of the underlying constructs into five domains in the Malay version, but they had to be re-classified as 'physical and psychological abuse', 'neglect', 'sexual abuse', 'exposure to domestic violence' and 'exposure to community violence'.
This study demonstrated that the ICAST-CH-M is satisfactorily reliable and valid for measuring child maltreatment in Malaysia.
儿童期受虐是一个全球性问题，针对此，国际预防儿童虐待和忽视协会（ISPCAN）开发了儿童虐待筛查工具-儿童版家庭问卷（ICAST-CH）以获取有关儿童期受虐的数据。本研究旨在将ICAST-CH的英文版翻译成马来语，并评估其信度和效度。
首先将ICAST-CH的原始英文版翻译成马来语。在五名独立个体中测试其内容效度和表面效度。随后在马来西亚吉兰丹州哥打巴鲁的一所中学对255名学生进行了一项使用马来语版（ICAST-CH-M）的横断面研究。收集的数据用于检验该工具的内部一致性和结构效度。在应用方差最大化旋转后得到了最佳的ICAST-CH-M模型。
分析表明，ICAST-CH的马来语版具有令人满意的内部一致性，克朗巴哈系数范围为0.59 - 0.77。探索性因素分析证实了马来语版中潜在结构在五个领域的效度，但它们必须重新分类为“身体和心理虐待”、“忽视”、“性虐待”、“接触家庭暴力”和“接触社区暴力”。
本研究表明，ICAST-CH-M在测量马来西亚儿童虐待方面具有令人满意的信度和效度。
