Abstract

Parent involvement in early childhood intervention (ECI) is considered an important component of recommended ECI practices. However, how parents are involved in their child’s early intervention differs considerably between ECI practitioners. Current research indicates that practitioners’ competence and confidence appraisals influence the use of ECI practices. The purposes of this study were to (1) adapt and validate the Early Childhood Intervention Practitioner Competence and Confidence Scale for use in Spain, (2) examine the psychometric properties of the scale, (3) compare practitioners’ beliefs about their competence and confidence in using recommended ECI practices, and (4) evaluate the relationship between belief appraisals and practitioners’ judgments of parent involvement in ECI. The sample included 130 Spanish ECI practitioners. The results indicated that the scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring practitioners’ competence and confidence in using six ECI-recommended practices in Spain. Practitioners’ appraisals of competence and confidence, however, differed across the recommended practices. Significant positive correlations were found between the practitioners’ appraisals of competence and confidence and their judgments of parent involvement. These results show that a strong sense of competence and confidence in using different kinds of ECI-recommended practices is related to increased parent involvement in active child participation in learning and development in everyday activities. Research and practical implications are discussed. La involucración parental es un componente importante de las prácticas recomendadas en atención temprana (AT). Sin embargo, la forma en que los padres son involucrados en la intervención temprana de sus hijos difiere considerablemente entre los profesionales. En este sentido, la investigación actual muestra que el juicio de los profesionales en relación a su competencia y confianza influye el uso de prácticas de AT. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron (1) adaptar y validar la Early Childhood Intervention Practitioner Competence and Confidence Scale para su uso en España, (2) examinar las propiedades psicométricas de esta escala, (3) comparar las creencias de los profesionales en relación a su competencia y confianza en el uso de prácticas recomendadas, y (4) analizar la relación entre estas creencias y el juicio de los profesionales sobre la involucración parental en AT. A este fin, se contó con una muestra española de 130 profesionales de AT. Los resultados indicaron que la escala es un instrumento válido y fiable para medir la competencia y confianza profesional en el uso de seis prácticas recomendadas de AT en el contexto español. El juicio de los profesionales respecto a su competencia y confianza difirió entre las diversas prácticas recomendadas. Se encontraron correlaciones positivas y significativas entre las valoraciones de competencia y confianza de los profesionales y sus juicios sobre la involucración parental. Estos resultados muestran que una elevada competencia y confianza en el uso de diferentes tipos de prácticas recomendadas en AT está relacionada con una mayor involucración parental en la participación activa del niño en su aprendizaje y desarrollo en actividades cotidianas. Se discuten las implicaciones prácticas y de investigación.

幼儿干预实践者的能力和信心评价使用推荐的做法和与父母参与的关系
父母参与幼儿干预被认为是建议的幼儿干预做法的重要组成部分。然而,父母如何参与儿童的早期干预,ECI从业者之间存在很大差异。目前的研究表明,从业者的能力和信心评估影响了ECI实践的使用。这项研究的目的是(1)适应和验证西班牙使用的幼儿干预从业者能力和信心量表,(2)检查该量表的心理特征,(3)比较从业者对其使用建议的ECI做法的能力和信心的信念,以及(4)评估信仰评估与从业者对父母参与ECI的判断之间的关系。该样本包括130名西班牙ECI从业者。结果表明,该量表是衡量从业人员在西班牙使用六种ECI建议做法的能力和信心的有效和可靠工具。然而,在建议的做法中,从业者对能力和信心的评估存在差异。从业者对能力和信心的评估与其对父母参与的判断之间存在显著的正相关。这些结果表明,在使用不同类型的ECI建议做法方面具有强烈的能力和信心,这与父母更多地参与儿童在日常活动中积极参与学习和发展有关。讨论了研究和实际意义。父母的参与是早期护理建议做法的重要组成部分。然而,父母参与儿童早期干预的方式在专业人士中有很大不同。从这个意义上说,目前的研究表明,专业人员对其能力和信任的判断会影响TA实践的使用。这项研究的目的是(1)改编和验证在西班牙使用的早期儿童干预从业者能力和信任量表,(2)检查该量表的心理测量特性,(3)比较专业人员对其能力和使用推荐做法的信心的信念,并(4)分析这些信念与专业人员对父母参与AT的判断之间的关系。为此,对130名AT专业人员进行了西班牙抽样。结果表明,该量表是一种有效和可靠的工具,可以衡量在西班牙背景下使用六种TA推荐做法的专业能力和信心。在各种建议的做法中,专业人员对其能力和信心的判断各不相同。专业人员的能力和信任评估与其对父母参与的判断之间存在积极和显著的相关性。这些结果表明,对AT中使用不同类型建议做法的高度能力和信心与父母更多地参与儿童积极参与日常活动的学习和发展有关。讨论了实际和研究意义。
