Abstract: (196 Views)
Background: Measuring the way adults respond to the needs of children with chronic diseases is of therapeutic and research importance due to its effect on the course of the disease and children's symptoms.
Objective: The purpose of this research is to validate and prepare a norm table for the Persian version of the questionnaire of Adults Responses to the Symptoms of Children.
Methods: The current research design is descriptive and of instrument validation type, which had three sub-studies. The statistical population of this research was formed by the parents of children aged 4 to 16 years who had chronic diseases and visited 17 Shahrivar Hospital in Rasht between the winter of 1400 and the spring of 1401. Two hundred ninety parents were selected by consecutive sampling and answered the Adult Responses to the Symptoms of Children Scale (ARCS) and Pianta Parent-Child Relationship Scale (CPRS) with informed and voluntary consent.
Results: The items of each dimension had the highest correlation with the total score of that dimension. The correlation coefficients of the items with the dimensions of the ARCS questionnaire, respectively, in the dimension of supportive and monitoring behaviors in the range of 0.35 to 0.72, the dimension of protective responses in the range of 0.44 to 0.73 and the dimension of small number of signs in the range 0.53 to 0.66 were calculated. In addition, the results of the regression analysis showed that the score of different dimensions of the ARCS questionnaire was able to significantly explain the variance of the scores of the parent-child subscales of Pianta. The amount of explained variance of the subscales of Pianta's parent-child relationship measure was obtained in the dimension of conflict (20%), closeness (34%), dependence (36%) and overall positive relationship (19%), respectively.
Conclusion: The present study showed that the ARCS questionnaire has satisfactory reliability coefficients for use in the Iranian parents' community.
