The Inventory of Functional Status-Fathers (IFS-F) was developed to measure the extent to which men continue or increase their usual household, social and community, childcare, personal care, occupational, and educational activities, and assume infant care responsibilities during their partners' pregnancies and the postpartum period. Content validity was established at 86%. Reliability testing used a sample of 125 expectant fathers and 57 new fathers. Internal consistency reliability using average correlations for the subscale item to subscale total scores ranged from .54 to .75. Subscale to total IFS-F score correlations ranged from .31 to .61. Initial construct validity testing was accomplished by examination of subscale correlations, which ranged from -.02 to .69. The IFS-F may be used to assess the functional status of men during the childbearing period for clinical and research purposes.
父亲功能状态量表（IFS-F）旨在衡量男性在伴侣孕期及产后期间，继续或增加其日常家庭、社交与社区、育儿、个人护理、职业及教育活动，以及承担婴儿护理责任的程度。内容效度经确立为86%。信度测试采用了125名准父亲和57名新父亲作为样本。分量表项目得分与分量表总分的平均相关系数得出的内部一致性信度范围为0.54至0.75。分量表得分与IFS-F总分的相关系数范围为0.31至0.61。初始结构效度测试通过检查分量表相关性来完成，其范围为-0.02至0.69。IFS-F可用于临床和研究目的，评估男性在生育期的功能状态。
