We investigated the psychometric properties of a Turkish version of the Young Children's Participation and Environment Measure (YC-PEM-T). Our participants were 367 children (212 children with disabilities and 155 children without disabilities; = 40.76 months, = 20.33; range 0-71 months) and their parents, who were selected by a convenience sampling method. We translated and cross-culturally adapted the original YC-PEM from English to Turkish (YC-PEM-T). We found the internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the YC-PEM-T to be good with a Croanbach's alpha ranging from .68 to .94, and intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from .69 to .89 after the YC-PEM-T was administered twice to 100 parents within a three week period. In a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) we compared YC-PEM-T scores between children with and without the presence of a disability and found significant differences ( < .05). While we found significant differences between three different age groups, they did not follow consistently. To evaluate discriminant validity, we followed up these ANOVAs with post-hoc analyses when results were statistically significant. Regarding concurrent validity, there were strong to very strong relationships between scores on the participation part of the YC-PEM-T and both the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI; .701 < r < .854, < .001), and the European Child Environment Questionnaire (ECEQ; - .632 < r < - .690, < .001). We concluded that the YC-PEM-T is a valid, reliable, and culturally adapted tool for evaluating daily life participation and adaptation to environmental factors in young Turkish children. We can recommend the YC-PEM-T for use in clinical settings and for epidemiological research to assess young children's participation in activities in the home, preschool and community. We also recommend that future investigators examine other psychometric properties of this scale, including its interpretation and capacity to differentiate varied diagnostic and disability groups.
我们研究了土耳其语版的《儿童参与和环境量表》（YC-PEM-T）的心理计量学特性。我们的参与者是 367 名儿童（212 名残疾儿童和 155 名非残疾儿童； = 40.76 个月， = 20.33；范围 0-71 个月）及其父母，他们是通过便利抽样法选择的。我们将原始的 YC-PEM 从英文翻译成土耳其文（YC-PEM-T），并进行了跨文化适应性调整。我们发现，YC-PEM-T 的内部一致性和重测信度良好，Cronbach's alpha 范围在.68 到.94 之间，在 100 名父母在三周内两次接受 YC-PEM-T 后，ICC 范围在.69 到.89 之间。在两次方差分析（ANOVA）中，我们比较了有和没有残疾的儿童的 YC-PEM-T 评分，发现有显著差异（ <.05）。虽然我们发现三个不同年龄组之间存在显著差异，但它们并不一致。为了评估判别效度，当结果具有统计学意义时，我们在这些 ANOVA 后进行了事后分析。关于同时效度，YC-PEM-T 的参与部分与残疾儿童评估量表（PEDI；.701 < r <.854， <.001）和欧洲儿童环境问卷（ECEQ；-.632 < r < -.690， <.001）之间存在很强到非常强的关系。我们得出结论，YC-PEM-T 是一种有效的、可靠的、文化适应性强的工具，可用于评估土耳其幼儿的日常生活参与和对环境因素的适应。我们可以推荐 YC-PEM-T 在临床环境和流行病学研究中使用，以评估幼儿在家庭、学前和社区中的活动参与情况。我们还建议未来的研究人员检验该量表的其他心理计量学特性，包括其解释能力和区分不同诊断和残疾组别的能力。
