Translation and validation of a Chinese Version of the Parental Self-Efficacy with Eczema Care Index
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Parental self-efficacy has been found to be a critical determinant of the efficacy of interventions intended to enhance the parental management of childhood eczema. OBJECTIVES: The psychometric properties of a translated Chinese version of the Parental Self-Efficacy with Eczema Care Index (C-PASECI) were examined. METHODS: The PASECI was translated in a 2-stage process involving both forward and backward translation. Subsequently, the psychometric properties of the C-PASECI were examined in a cohort of 147 Chinese parents or caregivers of children with eczema. Specifically, the internal consistency, 2-day test-retest reliability and construct validity were assessed. RESULTS: The C-PASECI received a Cronbach's αof 0.97, and the intraclass correlation coefficients of each item ranged from 0.93 to 0.99. Negative correlations were observed among the C-PASECI, Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index and Scoring Atopic Dermatitis Scale scores, indicating the acceptable convergent validity of the C-PASECI. The moderate correlation observed between the C-PASECI and General Self-Efficacy Scale (Pearson's r = 0.53, p < 0.001) reflected the acceptable concurrent validity of the C-PASECI. The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the factorial validity of the C-PASECI. CONCLUSION: The C-PASECI appears to be a reliable and valid measure of parental self-efficacy in Chinese parents or caregivers of children with eczema.

The PASECI exhibited high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and acceptable convergent validity in Western and Asian population groups, and its Cronbach's alpha in this study was 0.82 overall (0.82 to 0.91 for subscales).
“The PASECI exhibited high internal consistency (α = 0.97), test–retest reliabilities (ICC = 0.93–0.99), and acceptable convergent validity in both Western and Asian population groups (Cronbach’s α in this study = 0.82 for the overall PASECI, 0.82 to 0.91 for its subscales) [59].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
