Families of children with feeding disorder face significant challenges in supporting their child's feeding, growth, and development. The Feeding Impact Scales were developed to assess how child feeding impacts parent and family.
Items were adapted from an existing scale. Parents of children with feeding difficulty completed the online survey. Item response theory (IRT) analyses were used to evaluate and reduce items. Internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, and readability were tested.
IRT analyses ( = 317) identified 12 items for the Parent Impact and 13 items for the Family Impact. Internal reliability for the scales were acceptable. Convergent validity was supported.
The Feeding Impact Scales have evidence of reliability and validity. They can be utilized in practice and research.
患有进食障碍的儿童的家庭在支持孩子的进食、生长和发育方面面临着重大挑战。进食影响量表的开发是为了评估儿童喂养对父母和家庭的影响。
项目改编自现有的量表。有进食困难的儿童的父母完成了在线调查。项目反应理论(IRT)分析用于评估和减少项目。测试了内部一致性信度、收敛效度和可读性。
IRT 分析(n=317)确定了 12 项父母影响和 13 项家庭影响的项目。量表的内部信度是可以接受的。收敛效度得到了支持。
进食影响量表具有可靠性和有效性的证据。它们可用于实践和研究。
