Parental Perceptions of the Impact of a Child’s Complex Chronic Condition
The diagnosis of a child's complex chronic illness may impact family relationships and cohesion. The Impact on Family Scale (IFS) is an instrument used to assess the parental perception of the effects of children's chronic illness on family life. With a sample of 110 mothers and fathers between the ages of 29 and 50 who have a child with a complex chronic illness, we examine evidence of the validity of the IFS for use in Portugal within this spec…
A Cross-cultural Adaptation of A Measure of Intergenerational Family Relations, for Use in Brazil
We carried out a cross-cultural adaptation of the Intergenerational Solidarity Index, for use in Brazil (ISI-BR) with a sample of 682 people between the ages of 18 and 85. We used EFA, CFA and reliability measures. ISI-BR is a 24-item instrument with five factors: Functional solidarity, Affectual solidarity, Normative solidarity – obligations; Normative solidarity – values, and Conflict. Cronbach’s alpha for the full scale was .84 and the composi…

This study aims to adapt and validate the social skills inventory (SSI) (Del P…
The Brazilian–Portuguese version of the Parental Burnout Assessment
This study aimed to examine the validity of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA), the current gold-standard measure of parental burnout (PB). We surveyed parents in Portugal (N = 407) and Brazil (N = 301). We (a) compared the factor structure of the Brazilian-Portuguese version with the original structure of the PBA, (b) tested the adequacy of a second-order factor structure, (c) evaluated invariance across ge…
