Summary: | Objective: To identify mothers' ratings of the structure of personal growth in children whose sibling is hospitalized and whose mother subsequently rooms-in with the sibling. We also developed and evaluated the reliability and validity of a scale to assess this type of growth. Methods: We obtained consent to conduct our research at 63 medical institutions in Japan, and the anonymous self-administered questionnaire was answered by the mothers of children with a hospitalized sibling. Participants rated on a 4-point Likert scale 26 items that were identified from content analysis in a previous study as being indicative of children's positive changes. Exploratory factor analysis was performed and the scale's structure was identified, and the reliability and validity evaluated. Results: Participants (N=254) with siblings aged between 2 and 18 years were analyzed. After factor analysis, the measure, which we named the Siblings' Personal Growth Scale (SPGS), comprised 22 items divided across three factors of altruistic behavior, development of emotional and social skills, and self-control, and the scale's structure was identified. Cronbach's coefficient alpha value indicated high reliability (.897-.940), and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value (.940) and Bartlett's test of sphericity were significant (p<.001), supporting the sampling adequacy. The content validity was confirmed by a research team comprising experts in pediatric nursing and clinical psychology. The criterion-related validity was evaluated by a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient comparison between the SPGS and the internal behavior subscale of the Child Behavior Checklist/4-18. It was found to be significant at .217 (p=.029) for males aged between 4 and 11 years, but not for any other groups. Conclusions: The structure of the SPGS was identified and the future feasibility of the scale supported.
目的:母親の認識を通して得た,小児の入院と母親の付き添いに伴う,入院児のきょうだいの人格的成長の構造を解明し,尺度としての使用について信頼性・妥当性を検証する。方法:同意を得た全国63病院にて,入院児にきょうだいがいる母親279名を対象に無記名自記式の質問紙調査を行った。先行のクリッペンドルフの手法を用いた内容分析によって得たきょうだいの前向きな変化についての26項目について4件法により調査した。調査結果について因子分析を行い,その構造を解明し,信頼性・妥当性の検証を行った。結果:26項目についての年齢別合計平均得点をもとに2歳〜18歳のきょうだいをもつ母親254名からの回答を因子分析の対象とした。母親の平均年齢34.83(SD=5.23)歳,きょうだいの平均年齢6.78(SD=3.56)歳,性別は男児135(53.6%)名であった。平均在院日数30.25(SD=59.28,Mdn=7.0)日で,83(33.2%)名のきょうだいは自宅を離れ祖父母宅など世話人宅で生活をしていた。天井効果床効果,IT相関=.429-.794を確認し,探索的因子分析(主因子法・プロマックス回転)を行った。スクリープロットと固有値(1以上)をもとに,最も解釈が妥当であった3因子を採用し,因子負荷量.40未満の項目を除外しながら分析を繰り返した。最終的に残った22項目が「きょうだいの人格的成長尺度(SPGS)」と命名され(回転前累積寄与率=63.9%,因子間相関=.60-.72),愛他的行動,情緒・社会的スキルの発達,セルフコントロールの3因子からなるその構造が明らかとなった。尺度としての信頼性・妥当性について,高い信頼(α=.897-.940)と,KMO=.940,Bartlett検定p<.001より標本妥当性を確認し,小児看護学と臨床心理学の専門家からなる研究チームで分析し内容妥当性を確認した。基準関連妥当性の検定に用いたCBCL/4-18の内向尺度とSPGSの相関係数は,4歳-11歳の男児群で.217(p=.029)であったが,他の年齢・性別群では有意な相関はなかった。結論:3因子・22項目からなるきょうだいの人格的成長の構造が明らかとなった。尺度として今後の実用可能性が示唆された。 |
