With the increasing use of developmental screening tools, there is a growing need to validate parental screening methods for the early detection of developmental difficulties in children, regarding their psychometric properties.
This study evaluates the convergent validity of the S-PMV11 parental screening tool by comparing its outcomes with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (Bayley-III), the gold standard for direct assessment.
We analyzed data from 30 children and found significant correlations between S-PMV11 scores and Bayley-III assessments across cognitive, language, and motor skill domains. Notably, expressive communication showed the strongest correlation, indicating that parents are reliable assessors of developmental risks.
Despite limitations related to potential overestimation in Bayley-III, our findings support the S-PMV11 as a valid tool for early identification of developmental challenges, enhancing early intervention strategies in pediatric healthcare.
随着发育筛查工具的使用日益增加,对于从心理测量学特性方面验证用于早期发现儿童发育困难的家长筛查方法的需求也在不断增长。
本研究通过将S-PMV11家长筛查工具的结果与婴儿和幼儿发育贝利量表(贝利-III)(直接评估的金标准)进行比较,评估该工具的收敛效度。
我们分析了30名儿童的数据,发现S-PMV11得分与贝利-III在认知、语言和运动技能领域的评估之间存在显著相关性。值得注意的是,表达性沟通显示出最强的相关性,表明家长是发育风险的可靠评估者。
尽管贝利-III存在可能高估的相关局限性,但我们的研究结果支持将S-PMV11作为早期识别发育挑战的有效工具,可加强儿科医疗保健中的早期干预策略。
