Child Sexual Abuse Questionnaire was developed to assess Child Sexual Victimization experiences, and the associated characteristics and circumstances. The aim of the study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Arabic Child Sexual Abuse Questionnaire (CSAQ) in a sample of Egyptian children. The original CSAQ-English was translated into Arabic based on the established guidelines. Then, a cross-sectional study was carried out on a group of 150 male and female Egyptian children aging 8-14 years to test the translated questionnaire for validity and reliability. The Statistical analysis was performed to internal consistency, Item-Total correlation, as well as Inter-Item correlation. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient to assess internal consistency was found to be satisfactory, 0.88 and 0.89 for CSA without physical contact items and CSA with physical contact items, respectively. The item-total correlations were found to be within r = .234; P = .004 to r = .927; P = <0.001, while Inter-item correlations ranged from 0.125 to 0.928. The CSAQ-Arabic version is a reliable and valid tool that can be used by researchers in clinical practice to measure sexual victimization experiences in Arabic-speaking children based on the content and face validation together with a good internal reliability.
儿童性虐待问卷旨在评估儿童性受害经历，以及相关特征和情况。本研究旨在评估阿拉伯语儿童性虐待问卷（CSAQ）在埃及儿童样本中的信度和效度。原始 CSAQ-英文根据既定指南被翻译成阿拉伯语。然后，对一组 150 名 8-14 岁的埃及男女儿童进行横断面研究，以测试翻译后的问卷的有效性和可靠性。采用内部一致性、项目总分相关性以及项目间相关性进行统计分析。Cronbach's Alpha 系数评估内部一致性，分别为 0.88 和 0.89，适用于无身体接触项目的 CSA 和有身体接触项目的 CSA。项目总分相关性在 r = 0.234；P = 0.004 至 r = 0.927；P < 0.001，而项目间相关性范围在 0.125 至 0.928 之间。阿拉伯语 CSAQ 版本是一种可靠和有效的工具，研究人员可以在临床实践中使用它来测量阿拉伯语儿童的性受害经历，这基于内容和表面有效性以及良好的内部可靠性。
