Summary

The Kids Imaging Ability Questionnaire (KIAQ) shows promise for assessing children's imagery skills. While some reliability measures are good, further research is needed to confirm its validity for guided imagery interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric nursing
  • Psychometrics
  • Child psychology

Background:

  • Guided imagery is a potential intervention for managing pediatric medical procedure distress.
  • Assessing a child's ability to create vivid mental images (imaging ability) may predict success with guided imagery.
  • The Kids Imaging Ability Questionnaire (KIAQ) was developed to measure this ability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Kids Imaging Ability Questionnaire (KIAQ).
  • To assess the content validity, reliability, and criterion-related validity of the KIAQ.

Main Methods:

  • Content validity was assessed by three expert clinicians.
  • Reliability and criterion-related validity were tested using data from 58 children who completed the KIAQ twice.

  • Criterion-related validity was examined against the Singer Fantasy Proneness Interview.

    • Main Results:

    • Content validity was deemed acceptable.
    • Internal consistency (alpha = .75–.76) and test-retest reliability (r = .73) were acceptable.
    • Criterion-related validity was poor (rho = .31–.46).

    Conclusions:

    • The KIAQ demonstrates acceptable content validity and reliability.
    • Further research is required to establish the questionnaire's overall validity and its correlation with guided imagery success.
    • The KIAQ may be useful for pediatric nurses to identify children likely to benefit from guided imagery, pending further validation.
