The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the AFEQ for Turkish parents of children with ASD. The Turkish-translated version of the AFEQ was administered to 241 parents of children aged 2-12 years with ASD to examine the construct validity and internal consistencies. Parents completed the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), and Quality of Life in Autism Questionnaire Parent version, along with the AFEQ. The mean age of the children of 241 individuals in the study group was 7.63 ± 3.02 and 88.4% (n = 213) were male. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.921 of the total variance. Cronbach alpha coefficients are 0.813 for the "Experience of being a parent" subscale, 0.768 for the "Family Life" subscale, 0.810 for the "Child Development, Understanding and Social Relationships" subscale, and 0.804 for the "Child Symptoms (Feelings and Behaviour)" subscale. In conclusion, the translated and culturally adapted AFEQ shows good reliability and validity to measure the priorities of autistic children and their families in Turkey. It can also be useful in monitoring the effectiveness of intervention programs and changes in the child.
本研究的目的是检验《自闭症儿童家庭赋权问卷》土耳其语版对土耳其自闭症儿童家长的信度和效度。将《自闭症儿童家庭赋权问卷》土耳其语翻译版施测于241名2至12岁自闭症儿童的家长,以检验其结构效度和内部一致性。家长们完成了《自闭症行为检查表》、《自闭症生活质量问卷家长版》以及《自闭症儿童家庭赋权问卷》。研究组中241名个体的孩子平均年龄为7.63±3.02岁,88.4%(n = 213)为男性。总方差的克朗巴赫α系数为0.921。“为人父母的体验”子量表的克朗巴赫α系数为0.813,“家庭生活”子量表为0.768,“儿童发展、理解与社会关系”子量表为0.810,“儿童症状(情感与行为)”子量表为0.804。总之,经过翻译和文化调适的《自闭症儿童家庭赋权问卷》在测量土耳其自闭症儿童及其家庭的优先事项方面显示出良好的信度和效度。它也有助于监测干预项目的效果以及儿童的变化。
