BACKGROUND/AIM: Occupational therapists use different models and measurements for assessing children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). One of those measurements is the Child Occupational Self-Assessment. In this study, concurrent validity of the Child Occupational Self-Assessment with Pediatric Quality of Life was tested in children with ADHD.
A correlational study was conducted. The Child Occupational Self-Assessment and Pediatric Quality of Life were filled by 128 children with ADHD aged between 8 and 11 years.
The results indicated that in competency subscale the highest correlation coefficient was for the total score of Pediatric Quality of Life ( = 0.56, < 0.01) and the lowest was for social performance ( = -0.44, < 0.01). The highest and lowest correlation coefficient in value subscale were for the total score ( = -0.46, < 0.01) and emotional performance of Pediatric Quality of Life ( = -0.34, < 0.01), respectively.
The Child Occupational Self-Assessment has an acceptable concurrent validity with Pediatric Quality of Life. It can be a suitable measurement for assessing of children with ADHD.
背景/目的:职业治疗师使用不同的模型和测量方法来评估患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的儿童。其中一种测量方法是儿童职业自我评估。在本研究中,对ADHD儿童的儿童职业自我评估与儿童生活质量的同时效度进行了测试。
进行了一项相关性研究。128名年龄在8至11岁之间的ADHD儿童填写了儿童职业自我评估和儿童生活质量量表。
结果表明,在能力子量表中,与儿童生活质量总分的相关系数最高(r = 0.56,p < 0.01),与社会表现的相关系数最低(r = -0.44,p < 0.01)。在价值子量表中,相关系数最高和最低的分别是儿童生活质量总分(r = -0.46,p < 0.01)和情感表现(r = -0.34,p < 0.01)。
儿童职业自我评估与儿童生活质量具有可接受的同时效度。它可以作为评估ADHD儿童的一种合适测量方法。
