Abstract: (25 Views)
Background and Aim: Limited valid scales have been developed in English to measure the self-efficacy and involvement of parents of hearing-impaired children in early intervention like SPISE and EIPSE and no one in Persian. This study aimed to translate the Scale of Parental Involvement and Self-Efficacy-Revised (SPISE-R) into Persian and evaluate the psychometric properties of the translated version for use with Persian-speaking parents of deaf or hard-of-hearing children.
Methods: This test-development study was conducted in two phases: (1) translation of the SPISE-R by six native Farsi translators fluent in English (two of them were psychologists and the remain were audiologists) using the steps (e.g., forward translation, reconciliation, back-translation), and (2) evaluation of the validity and reliability of the Persian version with input from 10 audiologists and psychologists. 59 hearing-impaired children’s parents’ answers to the questionnaire were used to assess the psychometric characteristics. The children were below 4 years-old.
Results: The content validity ratio demonstrated satisfactory cultural adaptation for all items. Item-level face validity indices for appropriateness and fluency ranged from 0.72 to 1.0. For the confidence subscale, the correlation coefficient was 0.55, the intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.65, and the agreement rate was 0.76. In the action subscale, these values were 0.31, 0.47, and 0.82, respectively. Test-retest Pearson correlations confirmed consistency across all subscales over time.
Conclusion: The Persian version of the SPISE-R is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the beliefs, self-efficacy, and participation of parents of Persian-speaking hard-of-hearing children in early intervention. This questionnaire can facilitate tailored support and guidance for families in this population.
