Insights

The Turkish version of the Pediatric Assessment Scale for Severe Feeding Problems (PASSFP) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing feeding issues in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nutrition
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Developmental Pediatrics

Background:

  • Feeding problems are common in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Accurate assessment tools are crucial for intervention planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Translate the Pediatric Assessment Scale for Severe Feeding Problems (PASSFP) into Turkish.
  • Evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version (T-PASSFP).

Main Methods:

  • Translation of the PASSFP into Turkish.
  • Assessed reliability using Cronbach's Alpha and test-retest correlation.
  • Evaluated criterion validity against the Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ).

Main Results:

  • T-PASSFP demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.79).
  • Subscales also showed acceptable reliability (Form A = 0.67, Form B = 0.73).
  • High test-retest correlations (0.99 for scale/Form A, 0.94 for Form B) indicate stability.

Conclusions:

  • The Turkish PASSFP is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing feeding in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Form A is suitable for all children; Form B is for those with partial or total oral feeding.

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:
