“…While developing the PACS-JPN, we referred to the methodology used in the previously developed PACS and the Activity Card Sorts (ACS) (Hamed et al, 2011;Laver-Fawcett & Mallinson, 2013;Malkawi et al, 2015;Packer et al, 2008;Uemura et al, 2019). The ACS is a measurement tool of older adult participation (Baum & Edwards, 2008), and the PACS is similar to the ACS.…”

“…Item generation for the PACS-JPN involved two steps: In the first step, according to the past ACS development process, the activities were collected from the two available versions of the PACS (Berg & LaVesser, 2006;Malkawi et al, 2015). One available version is the original PACS and the other is the Arabic version.…”

“…Items common to Jordanian children were determined through a two-round ranking by parents living in Jordan. The content validity of each version and the psychometric properties of the Arabic version have been examined (Berg & LaVesser, 2006;Malkawi et al, 2015Malkawi et al, , 2017Stoffel & Berg, 2008).

Preschool Activity Card Sort (PACS) is a valid measure of preschoolers’ participation and is a useful and unique tool for focusing on the extent and frequency of their participation. However, given the cultural differences between Japan and other countries, researchers should consider these differences when adapting the PACS for use with children in Japan. The purpose of this study was to select culturally suitable activity items to develop the Japanese version of PACS (PACS-JPN). A two-round survey of parents (who had typically developing children aged between 3 and 6 years) was conducted. The final version of the PACS-JPN included 98 activity items. The PACS-JPN reflects Japanese sociocultural background and allows occupational therapists to assess preschoolers’ actual participation by assessing multiple aspects of children’s community life. The psychometric properties, including the validity and reliability of the PACS-JPN should be examined in future research.

“…The PACS consists of pictures of preschool children performing 85 activities categorized into seven domains: self-care, community mobility, high physical demand leisure, low physical demand leisure, social interaction, domestic, and education. The valid and reliable English version of the PACS [ 4 ] has been translated into and validated in Spanish [ 5 ] and most recently into Arabic (A-PACS; [ 6 ]) in which it was cross-culturally adapted on a Jordanian sample, yielding 95 activities categorized into the same domains as the original PACS.…”

Background The Preschool Activity Card Sort (PACS) is an interview-based assessment tool to measure participation of preschool children with age range from 3 to 6 years. Objective of Study The purpose of this study was to establish the psychometric properties of the recently translated Arabic PACS (A-PACS). Methods One hundred fifty-one Jordanian parents participated in the study representing different geographical areas. Children were almost equally distributed between males and females and into three age groups. Construct and concurrent validity were examined as well as the internal consistency of the scale and the test-retest reliability. Findings The A-PACS was able to differentiate between the participation level of young and old children in the domains of education, community mobility, and low demand leisure of the A-PACS giving evidence to its construct validity and it significantly correlated with some aspects of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) giving evidence to its concurrent validity. The A-PACS showed excellent overall internal consistency (α = .859) for all domains and good test-retest reliability (r = .976, p < .001). Conclusion The A-PACS can be considered as a valid and reliable tool to measure participation of preschool children with normal development from Arabic cultures. Future studies should focus on the validity of the A-PACS for use with children with disabilities.

Several tools have been developed to assess executive function (EFs) and adaptive functioning, although in mainly Western populations. Information on tools for low-and-middle-income country children is scanty. A scoping review of such instruments was therefore undertaken.We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis- Scoping Review extension (PRISMA-ScR) checklist (Tricco et al., in Annals of Internal Medicine 169(7), 467–473, 2018). A search was made for primary research papers of all study designs that focused on development or adaptation of EF or adaptive function tools in low-and-middle-income countries, published between 1st January 1894 to 15th September 2020. 14 bibliographic databases were searched, including several non-English databases and the data were independently charted by at least 2 reviewers.The search strategy identified 5675 eligible abstracts, which was pruned down to 570 full text articles. These full-text articles were then manually screened for eligibility with 51 being eligible. 41 unique tools coming in 49 versions were reviewed. Of these, the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF- multiple versions), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Go/No-go and the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure (ROCF) had the most validations undertaken for EF tests. For adaptive functions, the tools with the most validation studies were the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales (VABS- multiple versions) and the Child Function Impairment Rating Scale (CFIRS- first edition).There is a fair assortment of tests available that have either been developed or adapted for use among children in developing countries but with limited range of validation studies. However, their psychometric adequacy for this population was beyond the scope of this paper.

Development of the Arabic Version of the Preschool Activity Card Sort (A‐PACS)

Abstract: A culturally adapted Arabic form of the PACS emerged from this investigation. This is the first step in developing a psychometrically sound assessment tool to evaluate participation of Arabic-speaking preschool children.
