Abstract

Objectives

Parents play a pivotal role in child development and several parental factors have been identified as risk or protective factors for childhood anxiety and depression. To assess and target these parental factors in interventions, there is a need for a comprehensive, easy-to-use instrument.

Method

This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of an adapted version of the Parenting to Reduce Child Anxiety and Depression Scale, PaRCADS(N) in a Norwegian community sample (N = 163) of parents of children aged 8–12 years.

Results

Our findings indicate that PaRCADS(N) has acceptable psychometric properties. These results are comparable to those of the original study of the PaRCADS in Australia.

Conclusion

Based on these results, we recommend that PaRCADS(N) can be utilized by health care workers as a tool for assessment and identification of parental practices related to child anxiety and/or depression to target relevant risk and protective factors in treatment and prevention.

在挪威样本中调查 PaRCADS--父母减轻儿童焦虑和抑郁量表的心理测量特性。

目的：父母在儿童成长过程中扮演着举足轻重的角色，父母的一些因素已被确认为儿童焦虑症和抑郁症的危险因素或保护因素。为了评估这些父母因素并将其作为干预措施的目标，需要一种全面、易于使用的工具：本研究的目的是在挪威社区样本（样本数=163）中调查改编版 "为人父母减少儿童焦虑和抑郁量表"（PaRCADS(N)）的心理测量特性：我们的研究结果表明，PaRCADS（N）具有可接受的心理测量特性。这些结果与在澳大利亚进行的PaRCADS原始研究结果相当：基于这些结果，我们建议医护人员可以将 PaRCADS(N) 作为一种工具，用于评估和识别与儿童焦虑和/或抑郁有关的家长行为，从而在治疗和预防过程中针对相关的风险和保护因素进行干预。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research (MPR) publishes high-standard original research of a technical, methodological, experimental and clinical nature, contributing to the theory, methodology, practice and evaluation of mental and behavioural disorders. The journal targets in particular detailed methodological and design papers from major national and international multicentre studies. There is a close working relationship with the US National Institute of Mental Health, the World Health Organisation (WHO) Diagnostic Instruments Committees, as well as several other European and international organisations. MPR aims to publish rapidly articles of highest methodological quality in such areas as epidemiology, biostatistics, generics, psychopharmacology, psychology and the neurosciences. Articles informing about innovative and critical methodological, statistical and clinical issues, including nosology, can be submitted as regular papers and brief reports. Reviews are only occasionally accepted. MPR seeks to monitor, discuss, influence and improve the standards of mental health and behavioral neuroscience research by providing a platform for rapid publication of outstanding contributions. As a quarterly journal MPR is a major source of information and ideas and is an important medium for students, clinicians and researchers in psychiatry, clinical psychology, epidemiology and the allied disciplines in the mental health field.
