简要总结
The reported mental health, economic and structural problems of pediatric cancer patients end up negatively affecting family functioning and the course of the disease; therefore, in the Mexican context it is necessary to have a valid, reliable and culturally relevant tool to identify psychosocial risks in children and adolescents with cancer. in order to develop strategies to address psychosocial needs. Objective: To determine the psychometric validation of the Mexican version of the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT) for informal primary caregivers of pediatric cancer patients. Method: A study will be carried out with a prospective multicenter instrumental design of correlational scope and a non-probabilistic sampling will be used at the convenience of informal primary caregivers of pediatric cancer patients. The indices of relevance, writing and adequate language will be evaluated, in order to obtain content validity of each of the 68 items, using the Aiken V, reliability will be evaluated by calculating the Kuder-Richardson 20 coefficient to determine internal consistency and structural or construct validity will be evaluated by means of an exploratory factor analysis. Results: According to the guidelines for adaptation and validation of psychological instruments, the inventory will be translated into the original language (English - Spanish), the inventory will be backtranslated into the original language (Spanish - English), the evidence of content validity will be obtained by expert judges, and the evidence of construct validity and reliability indices of the inventory will be piloted and obtained with the white sample.
Keywords: Pediatric patients, cancer, psychosocial risk, informal primary caregivers, pediatric oncology.
详细描述
In the Mexican context, it is necessary to have a valid, reliable and culturally relevant tool to identify psychosocial risks in children and adolescents with cancer, because, due to social, economic, cultural and psychological factors, these patients and their families are at risk, therefore, the validation of the psychosocial risk is not the same as theThe psychometric analysis of the Psychosocial Assessment Tool would allow an adequate diagnosis so that the multidisciplinary team can use interventions aimed at the specific needs of the patient and their relatives in multiple contexts where they work, regardless of the type of neoplasm or the phase of treatment in which they are.

Psychosocial Assessment Tool
时间窗: 3 months
The PAT is a brief report for informal primary caregivers that assesses family psychosocial risk based on a families' ecological social model. This model assesses psychosocial risks throughout the child's social environment and generates seven subscale scores, such as Family Structure/Resources, Social Support, Children's Problems, Sibling Problems, Family Problems, Stress Reactions, and Family Beliefs \[61\]. The total score, which ranges from 0 to 7, is assigned to the PPPHM (Kazak, 2006) with three risk levels: universal (\<1.00), specific (1.00 and 2.00) and clinical (\>2.00). To translate the PAT into Spanish, methods that met or exceeded the guidelines of Holmbeck and Devine were used. First, the PAT was independently translated and back-translated by two native Spanish-speaking psychologists. Then, an independent native Spanish speaker reviewed it and consulted with a certified translator.
