Abstract

Objective: The COVID-19 Exposure and Family Impact Scale, Adolescent and Young Adult Version (CEFIS-AYA; Schwartz, L. A., Lewis, A. M., Alderfer, M. A., Vega, G., Barakat, L. P., King-Dowling, S., Psihogios, A. M., Canter, K. S., Crosby, L., Arasteh, K., Enlow, P., Hildenbrand, A. K., Kassam-Adams, N., Pai, A., Phan, T. L., Price, J., Schultz, C. L., Sood, E., Wood, J., & Kazak, A. (2022). COVID-19 exposure and family impact scales for adolescents and young adults. Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 47, 631-640. https://doi.org/10.1093/jpepsy/jsac036) was developed to assess the pandemic's effects on adolescents and young adults (AYA). Via principal component analysis, measure developers examined the structure and reliability of the CEFIS-AYA and identified seven exposure and five impact components. This study built upon prior work through use of item response theory (IRT) models to characterize the dimensionality of the CEFIS-AYA, determine the strength of relations between items and underlying trait(s), and examine associations between trait scores and pandemic-related distress.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of data collected between July 2020 and July 2021 from three studies of emerging adults (ages 18-29; N = 834).

Results: The CEFIS-AYA structure was multidimensional, with the strongest support for five traits. Trait 1 represented pandemic impact on social/emotional functioning and self-care. Trait 2 reflected other pandemic disruptions. Trait 3 represented pandemic disruptions to education and/or other milestones. Trait 4 represented pandemic impact on physical well-being. Trait 5 assessed pandemic disruptions to work/financial circumstances. Item loadings and parameters indicated variability in how consistently trait level was associated with item endorsement. Trait scores did not predict distress, except that increases in Trait 3 were associated with lower distress.

Conclusions: The present study examined the psychometric properties of the CEFIS-AYA among emerging adults using a statistical framework better suited for modeling categorical data. The identified dimensional structure was relatively consistent with the initial psychometric evaluation of the CEFIS-AYA, albeit more parsimonious. However, replication is critical in light of sample demographic characteristics.

利用项目反应理论研究 CEFIS-AYA 的心理测量特性。

目标：COVID-19暴露与家庭影响量表，青少年版（CEFIS-AYA；Schwartz, L. A., Lewis, A. M., Alderfer, M. A., Vega, G., Barakat, L. P., King-Dowling, S.., Psihogios, A. M., Canter, K. S., Crosby, L., Arasteh, K., Enlow, P., Hildenbrand, A..、Psihogios, A. M., Canter, K. S., Crosby, L., Arasteh, K., Enlow, P., Hildenbrand, A. K., Kassam-Adams, N., Pai, A., Phan, T. L., Price, J., Schultz, C. L., Sood, E., Wood, J., & Kazak, A. (2022)。青少年和年轻成人 COVID-19 暴露和家庭影响量表。儿科心理学杂志》（Journal of Pediatric Psychology），47，631-640。https://doi.org/10.1093/jpepsy/jsac036），以评估大流行病对青少年和年轻成人（AYA）的影响。通过主成分分析，量表开发人员检查了 CEFIS-AYA 的结构和可靠性，并确定了七个暴露成分和五个影响成分。本研究在先前工作的基础上，通过使用项目反应理论（IRT）模型来描述 CEFIS-AYA 的维度，确定项目与基本特质之间关系的强度，并检查特质得分与大流行相关困扰之间的关联：这是对 2020 年 7 月至 2021 年 7 月期间收集的数据进行的二次分析，这些数据来自三项针对新兴成人（18-29 岁；N = 834）的研究：CEFIS-AYA结构是多维的，其中五个特质得到了最有力的支持。特质 1 代表大流行对社会/情感功能和自理能力的影响。特征 2 反映了大流行造成的其他干扰。特征 3 代表大流行对教育和/或其他里程碑的破坏。特征 4 代表大流行病对身体健康的影响。特征 5 评估了大流行病对工作/财务状况的干扰。项目负荷和参数表明，特质水平与项目认可的一致性存在差异。除了特质 3 的增加与较低的痛苦程度相关之外，特质得分并不能预测痛苦程度：本研究使用更适合分类数据建模的统计框架，对 CEFIS-AYA 在新成人中的心理测量特性进行了检验。所确定的维度结构与 CEFIS-AYA 最初的心理测量评估相对一致，尽管更加简洁。然而，考虑到样本的人口统计学特征，复制是至关重要的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Pediatric Psychology is the official journal of the Society of Pediatric Psychology, Division 54 of the American Psychological Association. The Journal of Pediatric Psychology publishes articles related to theory, research, and professional practice in pediatric psychology. Pediatric psychology is an integrated field of science and practice in which the principles of psychology are applied within the context of pediatric health. The field aims to promote the health and development of children, adolescents, and their families through use of evidence-based methods.
