At first, English version was translated into Persian by two translators and then summarized into one translation. The final Persian version was translated into English, revised, modified, and summarized. To determine validity of the tool, it was given to 208 mothers of children with cerebral palsy who referred to Kermanshah rehabilitation centers in 2015. The participants were selected through convenience sampling. Face validity and content validity were examined. construct validity was determined by using confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency and reliability of the Persian version were also determined. The data were analyzed in SPSS (ver. 16) and EQS (ver. 6.1).
Results: Content validity of all the items was higher than 0.78. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed five-factor structure of the tool. Cronbach’s alpha of the whole tool was 0.84. Intraclass correlation coefficient for the whole tool was 0.89.
