According to leading occupational therapy models, the environment appears to be a key element in fostering occupational performance and participation. There is an emerging need to identify an instrument that can assess these aspects in the school environment. Currently, there are no rating scales in Italy for the school participation of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. For this reason, this study aims to culturally adapt and translate the School Participation Questionnaire (SPQ) to Italian and to pilot test the translated Italian version on children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
The original scale was translated from English to Italian using the guidelines "Translation and Cultural Adaptation of Patient Reported Outcomes Measures-Principles of Good Practice". The psychometric properties analyzed were the following: content validity, construct validity, cross-cultural validity, and internal consistency. Construct validity was assessed using the Italian version of the Sensory Processing Measure (SPM).
The Italian version of the SPQ was administered to 22 children. The mean ± SD of the score was 9.32 ± 1.36; Cronbach's α was 0.935 ( < 0.01). The Pearson's correlation coefficient with the SPM scores was -0.622 ( < 0.01).
This pilot testing study for the validation of the Italian version of the SPQ showed good validity and reliability results. Thanks to this study, it would be possible to further analyze the tool for the evaluation of the environment and school participation of children with neurodevelopmental disorders, in particular autism spectrum disorder. It is a quick and easy instrument that focuses on the environment as an active variable in the child's occupational performance.
根据主要的职业治疗模型，环境似乎是促进职业表现和参与的关键要素。越来越需要一种能够在学校环境中评估这些方面的工具。目前，意大利没有针对神经发育障碍儿童学校参与情况的评定量表。因此，本研究旨在对《学校参与问卷》（SPQ）进行文化调适并翻译成意大利语，并在神经发育障碍儿童中对翻译后的意大利语版本进行预测试。
按照“患者报告结局测量的翻译与文化调适——良好实践原则”指南将原始量表从英语翻译成意大利语。分析的心理测量学特性如下：内容效度、结构效度、跨文化效度和内部一致性。使用意大利语版的感觉统合能力发展评定量表（SPM）评估结构效度。
对22名儿童施测了意大利语版的SPQ。得分的均值±标准差为9.32±1.36；克朗巴哈α系数为0.935（<0.01）。与SPM得分的皮尔逊相关系数为-0.622（<0.01）。
这项对意大利语版SPQ进行验证的预测试研究显示出良好的效度和信度结果。由于这项研究，有可能进一步分析用于评估神经发育障碍儿童，尤其是自闭症谱系障碍儿童的环境和学校参与情况的工具。它是一种快速简便的工具，将环境视为儿童职业表现中的一个活跃变量。
