This study employed a Delphi method with a panel of experts to collaboratively design a new instrument to assess schools' readiness for school-based child sexual abuse prevention education.
An initial item pool was generated based on a review of existing empirical research and theoretical models. We invited researchers and stakeholders in the field of child sexual abuse prevention as experts to participate in a two-round online Delphi study in which they rated item importance and clarity, contributed their views on superfluous and/or missing items, gave rephrasing suggestions, and re-appraised revised items. Following the Delphi study, the instrument was pilot tested with a convenience sample of school staff.
The initial item pool comprised 81 items in five construct sub-scales congruent with Wiener's Organizational Readiness for Change theory: contextual factors, informational assessment, change valence, change commitment, and change efficacy. In the Delphi study, 24 experts participated in round 1, and 13 participated in round 2. Based on Delphi study responses, the instrument was reduced to 56 items in the five construct subscales: contextual factors (28 items), informational assessment (13 items), change valence (6 items), change commitment (3 items), and change efficacy (6 items). The Schools' Readiness for Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education (SR-CSAPE) was successfully pilot tested with school staff (n = 19) and minor changes to demographic items were incorporated.
Informed by experts, the Schools' Readiness for Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education (SR-CSAPE) is a newly-developed 56-item scale that identifies key organizational dimensions to schools' preparedness for CSA prevention education. Psychometric properties of the scale must be determined in future research.
本研究采用德尔菲法，召集专家组共同设计一种新工具，用以评估学校开展基于学校的儿童性虐待预防教育的准备情况。
根据现有实证研究和理论模型的回顾，生成了初始项目池。我们邀请儿童性虐待预防领域的研究人员和利益相关者作为专家参与两轮在线德尔菲研究，对项目的重要性和清晰度进行评分，就冗余和/或缺失项目发表意见，提出改写建议，并重新评估修订后的项目。德尔菲研究结束后，采用便利样本对学校工作人员进行了工具预测试。
初始项目池包含 81 个项目，分为五个与 Wiener 的组织变革准备度理论相符的结构子量表：背景因素、信息评估、变革效价、变革承诺和变革效能。在德尔菲研究中，24 名专家参加了第一轮，13 名专家参加了第二轮。根据德尔菲研究的回应，该工具在五个结构子量表中减少到 56 个项目：背景因素（28 个项目）、信息评估（13 个项目）、变革效价（6 个项目）、变革承诺（3 个项目）和变革效能（6 个项目）。学校儿童性虐待预防教育准备度（SR-CSAPE）成功地对学校工作人员（n=19）进行了预测试，并对人口统计项目进行了小的修改。
在专家的指导下，学校儿童性虐待预防教育准备度（SR-CSAPE）是一种新开发的 56 项量表，确定了学校开展 CSA 预防教育的关键组织维度。该量表的心理测量学特性必须在未来的研究中确定。
