Food allergy is a public health issue that has a significant impact on the lives of families. Parental self-efficacy/confidence is important in managing food allergies. The aim of this study is to validate the "Food Allergy Self-Efficacy Scale for Parents" (FASE-P) and assess parental self-efficacy in managing their child's food allergy.
Turkish version of the FASE-P (T-FASE-P) was administered to 347 parents of children aged 0-18 who had been followed for at least one month due to food allergy at the Pediatric Allergy Clinic of Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşcıoğlu City Hospital between September 1 and December 31, 2023, through face-to-face interviews and online surveys for parents of children with food allergies from the general population. Content validity, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to evaluate the validity of the scale. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used for concurrent criterion validity. Internal consistency analysis, test-retest application, and item analysis were conducted to assess its reliability.
T-FASE-P scale initially contained 21 items, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α) calculated in this form was found to be 0.89. Later, when 4 items were excluded, the 17-item version of the scale was calculated as α=0.90. The intra-class correlation coefficient between the test and re-test was found to be 0.972. The content validity index value of the scale was calculated as 0.99, indicating that the content validity was at a sufficient level. In the EFA, it was determined that the scale formed a three-factor structural model and that this model explained 60.82% of the total variance. As a result of the CFA, the fit indices were calculated as χ2/df=2.341, GFI=0.919, TLI=0.950, indicating a good level of fit. Based on the analysis results, T-FASE-P consists of 17 items and three subscales.
T-FASE-P scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine the food allergy self-efficacy of Turkish parents.
食物过敏是一个公共卫生问题，对家庭生活有重大影响。父母的自我效能/信心对于管理食物过敏非常重要。本研究的目的是验证“父母食物过敏自我效能量表”（FASE-P）并评估父母管理孩子食物过敏的自我效能。
2023 年 9 月 1 日至 12 月 31 日，通过面对面访谈和在线调查，在 Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşcıoğlu 城市医院儿科过敏科，对因食物过敏至少随访一个月的 0-18 岁儿童的 347 名父母进行了土耳其语版 FASE-P（T-FASE-P）测试。该研究还从普通人群中招募了有食物过敏儿童的父母。内容效度、探索性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）用于评估量表的效度。一般自我效能感量表（GSES）用于同时评估效标效度。内部一致性分析、重测应用和项目分析用于评估其可靠性。
T-FASE-P 量表最初包含 21 个项目，以这种形式计算的克朗巴赫系数（α）为 0.89。后来，当排除 4 个项目后，计算出的 17 项版本的量表为α=0.90。测试和再测试之间的组内相关系数为 0.972。量表的内容效度指数值计算为 0.99，表明内容效度处于足够水平。在 EFA 中，确定该量表形成了一个三因素结构模型，该模型解释了总方差的 60.82%。在 CFA 中，拟合指数计算为 χ2/df=2.341，GFI=0.919，TLI=0.950，表明拟合水平良好。基于分析结果，T-FASE-P 由 17 个项目和三个子量表组成。
T-FASE-P 量表是一种有效的、可靠的测量工具，可用于确定土耳其父母的食物过敏自我效能。
