To develop and validate a parental competence questionnaire for parents of children seeking care in hospital emergency departments.
An instrumental study of the development of an assessment questionnaire was carried out in three phases: 1) review of relevant measures and item generation, 2) content validity evaluation, 3) psychometric evaluation. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to examine the factorial structure. Internal consistency was evaluated using ordinal alpha. Hypothesis testing was determined between the resulting factors, the Parental Stress Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
The participants were 270 parents of children aged 0-14 years old from a referral hospital in Valencia (Spain). An 18-item questionnaire was developed, comprising five factors that explain 53.0% of the variance: 1) "emotional management and expression", 2) "passive social support", 3) "parental agency", 4) "basic needs and care" and 5) "active social support". The internal consistency for the different factors was modest (>0.70). A negative correlation between the Parental Stress Scale and the parental competence questionnaire was found for most of the factors.
This questionnaire on parental competence in the hospital emergency department (ECP-U) is a useful and simple self-report instrument for assessing the parental competence of parents with children in the emergency department.
The resulting questionnaire is of practical value to both healthcare professionals and researchers in this field. It can be administered quickly in clinical practice and used to identify parents' levels of parental competence and refer those with difficulties to appropriate support services.
为在医院急诊部门寻求治疗的儿童的父母开发和验证一份父母能力问卷。
一项评估问卷开发的工具研究分三个阶段进行：1）审查相关措施和项目生成，2）内容有效性评估，3）心理测量评估。进行探索性因素分析以检查因子结构。使用有序 alpha 评估内部一致性。在产生的因素之间进行假设检验，即父母压力量表和状态-特质焦虑量表。
参与者是来自西班牙巴伦西亚转诊医院的 270 名 0-14 岁儿童的父母。开发了一个包含 18 个项目的问卷，由五个解释 53.0%方差的因素组成：1）“情绪管理和表达”，2）“被动社会支持”，3）“父母机构”，4）“基本需求和护理”和 5）“主动社会支持”。不同因素的内部一致性适中（>0.70）。在大多数因素中，父母压力量表与父母能力问卷呈负相关。
这份医院急诊部门父母能力问卷（ECP-U）是一种有用且简单的自我报告工具，可用于评估急诊部门儿童父母的父母能力。
由此产生的问卷对该领域的医疗保健专业人员和研究人员具有实际价值。它可以在临床实践中快速进行管理，并用于识别父母的父母能力水平，并将有困难的父母转介给适当的支持服务。
