The Parent Effort Scale (PES) is a parent report questionnaire designed to quantify the level of effort required of caregivers to assist their children in developmentally appropriate home- and community-based activities. This manuscript describes the psychometric evaluation of the PES.
Data collected from 304 parents of children ages 2-7 years (167 parents of a children with autism spectrum disorder and 137 parents of neurotypical children) were factor analyzed, calibrated using item response theory, and evaluated for construct validity.
The final PES scales are reliable and valid measures of the level of parental effort required to assist children in dressing, personal hygiene, sleep, socialization at home, participation in community events, and access to healthcare. A total score reflects overall parental effort.
The PES can be used to plan and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions that aim to help parents enhance children's participation opportunities and thus, support their cognitive and social development.
家长努力程度量表(PES)是一份由家长填写的调查问卷,旨在量化照顾者为协助孩子参与适合其发育阶段的家庭及社区活动所需付出的努力程度。本论文描述了对PES的心理测量学评估。
收集了304名2至7岁儿童家长的数据(167名自闭症谱系障碍儿童的家长和137名发育正常儿童的家长),进行因子分析,采用项目反应理论进行校准,并评估其结构效度。
最终的PES量表是衡量家长在协助孩子穿衣、个人卫生、睡眠、家庭社交、参与社区活动以及获得医疗保健等方面所需努力程度的可靠且有效的指标。总分反映了家长的总体努力程度。
PES可用于规划和评估旨在帮助家长增加孩子参与机会从而支持其认知和社交发展的干预措施的有效性。
