Description
Summary:The Inventory of Functional Status-Caregiver of a Child in a Body Cast (IFSCCBC), which was derived from the Roy Adaptation Model, includes subscales measuring the extent to which parental caregivers or their surrogates continue their usual household, social and community, childcare, personal care, and occupational activities while caring for a child in a body cast. Content validity was established at 90%. Internal consistency reliability ranged from 0.63 to 0.88, using item to subscale correlations. Subscale to total IFSCCBC score correlations ranged from 0.14 to 0.75. Initial construct validity testing was accomplished by examination of subscale to subscale correlations. The IFSCCBC may be used in research and clinical practice to assess the functional status of parents or their surrogates while they are caring for a child in a body cast.
