Treatment for adults who set fires relies upon valid and reliable assessment. Research is needed to ensure self-report measures are available for adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities and that they are robust.
Qualitative and quantitative data from three rounds of a Delphi exercise with practitioners and a focus group discussion with adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities were used to generate consensus about the accessibility of item adaptations made to the Fire Interest Rating Scale, Fire Attitudes Scale, and the Identification with Fire Questionnaire.
Findings suggested the accessibility of current measures could be improved to better meet the needs of adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities and adaptations to all questionnaire items were needed.
Following feedback, revisions to current measures were implemented leading to the development of the Adapted Firesetting Assessment Scale with improved accessibility for adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
针对纵火成年人的治疗依赖于有效且可靠的评估。需要开展研究以确保为具有神经发育障碍的成年人提供自陈式评估工具,且这些工具是可靠的。
使用来自从业者的三轮 Delphi 练习以及与具有神经发育障碍的成年人的焦点小组讨论的定性和定量数据,来生成对以下内容的共识:对 Fire Interest Rating Scale、Fire Attitudes Scale 和 Identification with Fire Questionnaire 进行项目改编后的可及性。
研究结果表明,目前的评估工具的可及性可以得到提高,以更好地满足具有神经发育障碍的成年人的需求,并且需要对所有问卷项目进行改编。
根据反馈意见,对现行评估工具进行了修订,开发了具有更好的神经发育障碍成年人可及性的改良纵火评估量表。
