Development and initial validation of the Children Participation Questionnaire (CPQ)

Abstract

Purpose. To develop and test the psychometric properties of a parent-reported questionnaire measuring participation of preschool children (Children Participation Questionnaire; CPQ) aged 4-6 years in their everyday activities. Methods. Reliability was tested by Cronbach's a and by test-retest. Construct validity was computed by known group differences analysis. Convergent and divergent validities were calculated by correlation with the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scale (VABS). Two hundred thirty-one children with mild to moderate developmental disabilities (mean age 5.16 + 0.66 years old) were compared to 249 children without disability (mean age 5.13 + 0.72 years old). Results. The CPQ has good internal reliability. Cronbach's a for the participation measures ranged between 0.79 and 0.90, indicating good homogeneity. The temporal stability of the CPQ was supported with intra-class correlations ranging from 0.71 to 1.00. Significant differences were found between children with and without disabilities in all the CPQ measures. The CPQ could also differentiate between age groups and groups of varying socio-economic status. Convergent and divergent validity were supported.Conclusions. The CPQ has demonstrated good psychometric properties and can be used as a reliable and valid measure to assess children's participation at the age of 4-6 years.

Psychometric Properties of the Make My Day Tool to Assess Perceived Performance of Children’s Daily Activities

“…Our results suggest that therapists should expect children (especially very young children) and their parents to disagree somewhat, so supporting previous studies (Dunford et al, 2005;Missiuna et al, 2006) that found that the perceptions of children do not necessary coincide with those of their parents. Indeed, children may be satisfied with their performance when significant adult figures in their lives (parents, teachers) are not, as was previously found by Rosenberg et al (2010).…”

“…The CPQ (Rosenberg et al, 2010;Rosenberg & Bart, 2015) is a parent-completed questionnaire constructed according to the OTPF classification system and designed to measure the participation of preschool children aged 4 to 6 years (Rosenberg et al, 2010). The CPQ has been adapted to create the CPQ-School version, which assesses the participation patterns of schoolchildren aged 6 to 9 years (Rosenberg & Bart, 2015) Intra-class correlations of 0.71 -1.00 indicate that it has good temporal stability, too.…”

The discriminant CPQ is able to discriminate between children with and without disabilities in all the CPQ, between age groups, and between groups of varying socioeconomic status and showed both convergent and divergent validity (Rosenberg et al, 2010).…”

“…No validity data are available for the PEGS, and therefore we also used the CPQ, for which such data are available (Rosenberg, Jarus, & Bart, 2010;Rosenberg & Bart, 2015). Since the CPQ does not include a child selfassessment version, the MMD to the CPQ correlation was necessarily limited to their respective parental versions.…”

“…teigia, kad dalyvumo didinimas yra pagrindinis vaikų reabilitacijos tikslas. Vaikystėje dalyvumas yra susijęs su vaiko vystymusi ir augimu, todėl planuojant reabilitaciją ir iškeliant jos tikslus, turi būti orientuojamasi daugiau į dalyvumo didinimą [25].…”
