Abstract
Protective factors considered in this systematic review are characteristics of a child, family, or relationships within the family that decrease the probability of child maltreatment or abuse and can moderate or diminish negative outcomes associated with risk factors. The aim of this study is to critically appraise, compare, and summarize the methodological quality and psychometric properties of published research articles validating protective factor instruments related to children and adolescent characteristics and family strengths. A systematic search in ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science was performed using the Consensus based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) risk of bias checklist. The constructs measured were diverse, with some patterns in validation of instrument where studies mainly focus on examining structural validity and internal consistency while other properties were less frequently examined. Results suggest that the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA) and the Protective Factors Survey (PFS) have the strongest psychometric evidence, followed by the Child and Adolescent Social Adaptive Functioning Scale (CASAFS), the Children's Emotional Adjustment Scale (CEAS), and the Parental Alliance Inventory (PAI). This study provides relevant information on the available psychometric properties of some protective factor instruments validated from 2010 to 2021, which may be useful for researchers in selecting appropriate instruments and identifying gaps in knowledge.
本系统综述中考虑的保护因素是儿童、家庭或家庭关系的特征,这些特征可以降低儿童遭受虐待或虐待的可能性,并可以缓和或减少与风险因素相关的负面结果。本研究的目的是批判性地评估、比较和总结已发表的研究文章的方法论质量和心理测量特性,这些文章验证了与儿童和青少年特征和家庭优势相关的保护因素工具。在ProQuest、Scopus和Web of Science中使用基于共识的健康状况测量工具选择标准(COSMIN)偏差风险检查表进行了系统搜索。测量的结构是多样的,在仪器的验证中有一些模式,研究主要集中在检查结构有效性和内部一致性,而其他特性则不太频繁。结果表明,儿童和青少年情绪调节问卷(ERQ-CA)和保护因素调查(PFS)具有最强的心理测量证据,其次是儿童和青少年社会适应功能量表(CASAFS)、儿童情绪调节量表(CEAS)和父母联盟量表(PAI)。这项研究提供了关于2010年至2021年验证的一些保护因素工具的可用心理测量特性的相关信息,这可能有助于研究人员选择合适的工具和识别知识差距。
期刊介绍:
Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior. Papers encompass a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including homicide (serial, spree, and mass murder: sexual homicide), sexual deviance and assault (rape, serial rape, child molestation, paraphilias), child and youth violence (firesetting, gang violence, juvenile sexual offending), family violence (child physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, incest, spouse and elder abuse), genetic predispositions, and the physiological basis of aggression.
