Abstract

Child abuse adversely affects children's cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural development. The ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool, Parental version (ICAST-P) is a questionnaire that relies on parental responses to measure child abuse. Our objective was to assess the reliability, face validity, content validity and construct validity of the ICAST-P within an Iranian context. This is a methodological study that employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using partial least squares (PLS) to evaluate construct validity. The study involved 430 Iranian mothers with children aged 7–12 from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. The CFA results confirmed the model's fit (GOF = 0.38, SRMR = 0.079), and reliability indices (Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.707 to 0.883) supported the scale's internal consistency. The Persian version of the ICAST-P demonstrates robust psychometric properties, making it a reliable tool for identifying child maltreatment in Iran.

波斯语版ISPCAN儿童虐待筛查工具家长版（ICAST-P）的心理测量特性

虐待儿童对儿童的认知、社会情感和行为发展产生不利影响。ISPCAN儿童虐待筛查工具，家长版（ICAST-P）是一份调查问卷，依靠父母的回答来衡量儿童虐待。我们的目的是评估伊朗背景下ICAST-P的信度、面效度、内容效度和结构效度。这是一项方法学研究，采用验证性因子分析（CFA）使用偏最小二乘法（PLS）来评估结构效度。这项研究涉及430名伊朗母亲，她们的孩子年龄在7-12岁之间，来自不同的社会经济背景。CFA结果证实了模型的拟合（GOF = 0.38, SRMR = 0.079），信度指标（Cronbach's alpha在0.707 ~ 0.883之间）支持量表的内部一致性。波斯语版本的ICAST-P显示出强大的心理测量特性，使其成为识别伊朗儿童虐待的可靠工具。
