The Parents' Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children (PEACH+) is a parent reported questionnaire. It was first developed in Australia (2007) to assess the effectiveness of hearing devices in young children, and to register how oral children under the age of five hear and communicate with others.
No validated version of the Norwegian translation of PEACH+ exists. This study therefore aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of a back-translated Norwegian version of the PEACH+, from a sample of Norwegian children with typical hearing.
Parents of 255 children with typical hearing between 12 and 72 months were recruited through kindergartens and social media platforms. Participants were asked to fill in the PEACH+ questionnaire on behalf of their child, in a digital format.
High internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha = .917) and satisfactory item-total correlation were found (.342-.678).
The Norwegian translation of PEACH+ shows good psychometric properties that are similar to the original version (Ching and Hill, 2007) and that of other translations. The PEACH+ questionnaire is therefore valid to use in a Norwegian context.
儿童听觉/口语表现家长评估量表（PEACH+）是一份家长报告问卷。它最初于 2007 年在澳大利亚开发，用于评估助听设备对幼儿的有效性，并记录五岁以下口语儿童的听力和与他人交流的情况。
目前尚无经过验证的挪威语翻译版 PEACH+。因此，本研究旨在评估从具有典型听力的挪威儿童样本中翻译回的挪威语版 PEACH+的有效性和可靠性。
通过幼儿园和社交媒体平台招募了 255 名年龄在 12 至 72 个月之间、具有典型听力的儿童的家长参与。要求参与者代表其子女以数字格式填写 PEACH+问卷。
发现该量表具有较高的内部一致性（Cronbach's Alpha =.917）和令人满意的条目-总分相关性（.342-.678）。
挪威语翻译版的 PEACH+显示出良好的心理测量特性，与原始版本（Ching 和 Hill，2007）以及其他翻译版本相似。因此，PEACH+问卷在挪威语环境中是有效的。
