Abstract
Purpose: To develop an instrument to measure the self-care practice of children and adolescents.
Subjects: 471 students, age 9-18, in 4th-12th grade.
Methods: This methodological study involved item development and testing the instrument for reliability, readability, and construct validity.
Findings: Study findings for the 35-item Child and Adolescent Self-Care Practice Questionnaire included a coefficient alpha of .83 and moderate correlations with two self-care agency instruments. Factors corresponding to the self-care requisites in Orem's model were identified using a LISREL confirmatory factor analysis approach.
Conclusions & implications for nursing: The Child and Adolescent Self-Care Practice Questionnaire can be used in further research to determine how children and adolescents perform as self-care agents. Activities are identified and measured, intervention strategies to improve behaviors can be planned.
