An inventory was developed for the measurement of handicap-related problems experienced by mothers of children with chronic physical conditions and an initial evaluation of its psychometric properties was completed in a sample of 119 mothers of children with physical or sensory impairments. Principal component analysis of the Handicap-related Problems for Parents Inventory (HPPI) yielded three subscales, which accounted for 54% of the total variance. The HPPI demonstrated excellent internal consistency for each scale and total score. It also generally had good test-retest reliability over 6-, 12-, and 18-month periods. There was minimal covariation between HPPI scores and demographic status. Concurrent validity was demonstrated by significant correlations between appropriate HPPI scales and measures of daily stress and the child's physical condition or disability status. Support for its construct validity was obtained when expected convergent and discriminant relationships were confirmed between HPPI scales and measures of maternal adaptation, maternal social support, and child behavior problems. Among other results, HPPI scores predicted maternal adaptation 18 months later. The potential uses of the HPPI in research and intervention with mothers of children with chronic physical conditions were discussed.
我们编制了一份量表，用于衡量患有慢性身体疾病儿童的母亲所经历的与残疾相关的问题，并在119名患有身体或感官障碍儿童的母亲样本中完成了对其心理测量特性的初步评估。对父母与残疾相关问题量表（HPPI）进行主成分分析，得出三个分量表，它们占总方差的54%。HPPI在每个分量表和总分上都表现出了出色的内部一致性。在6个月、12个月和18个月期间，它通常也具有良好的重测信度。HPPI得分与人口统计学状况之间的协变量极小。通过适当的HPPI分量表与日常压力测量以及儿童身体状况或残疾状况之间的显著相关性，证明了其同时效度。当HPPI分量表与母亲适应度、母亲社会支持和儿童行为问题测量之间的预期收敛和区分关系得到证实时，获得了对其结构效度的支持。在其他结果中，HPPI得分预测了18个月后的母亲适应度。文中还讨论了HPPI在对患有慢性身体疾病儿童的母亲进行研究和干预方面的潜在用途。
