Abstract

Child abuse screening tool (CAST) has been used broadly for measuring maltreatment against children. The present study aimed to translate and validate the Child Abuse Screening Tool for two main purposes. Firstly, this scale was translated to use it as a screening tool for the abused children. Secondly, to determine concurrent validity of indigenous Child Abuse Scale (Malik & Shah, 2007) Revision by Malik and Saeed (2014). The Child Abuse Scale Revised was altered to address issues related to child abuse and sexual abuse in educational institutions, home, work place, by relatives, stranagers and servants. The scale was translated using standardized procedure of forward and backward translation. Confirmatory factor analysis was run to examine the factorial structure of Urdu translation of the scale. Convergent and discriminant analysis revealed construct validity of CAST. The results of CFA show adequate model fit; supporting the five factor solution of original scale. Thus, reliability and validity analysis indicated that the Urdu translated CAST scale is a valid and reliable tool for screening abused children in Pakistan.Keywords: abuse, translation, validity, child maltreatment, Urdu

乌尔都语虐待儿童筛查工具的心理测试和语义验证

虐待儿童筛查工具（CAST）已被广泛用于衡量虐待儿童的情况。本研究旨在翻译和验证虐待儿童筛查工具，主要有两个目的。首先，这个量表被翻译成了被虐待儿童的筛查工具。其次，确定Malik和Saeed（2014）修订的土著儿童虐待量表（Malik和Shah，2007）的同时有效性。修订了《虐待儿童行为量表》，以解决与教育机构、家庭、工作场所、亲属、滞留者和仆人虐待儿童和性虐待有关的问题。该量表采用标准的正向和反向翻译程序进行翻译。通过验证性因子分析，考察了乌尔都语翻译量表的因子结构。收敛性和判别分析揭示了CAST的结构有效性。CFA的结果表明模型拟合良好；支持原始规模的五因子解。因此，信度和有效性分析表明，乌尔都语翻译的CAST量表是筛查巴基斯坦受虐儿童的有效和可靠的工具。关键词：虐待、翻译、有效性、虐待儿童、乌尔都语
