Abstract：
BACKGROUND: There is growing interest in client engagement in pediatric rehabilitation. This article investigated the psychometric properties of a measure of service providers\' perceptions of the affective, cognitive and behavioural engagement of both children with disabilities and their parents in pediatric rehabilitation therapy sessions.
METHODS: Test-retest reliability of the Pediatric Rehabilitation Intervention Measure of Engagement-Service Provider version (PRIME-SP) was examined using engagement ratings made by 60 service providers for 77 children and 73 parents. Construct validity was examined using the known-group validity technique, utilizing service providers\' ratings of the engagement of parents and their children attending the same session with the service provider. We hypothesized that there would be significantly different, yet moderately correlated engagement ratings for children and their parents.
RESULTS: There was evidence of moderate test-retest reliability for the child ratings, indicative of dynamicity across occasions, but also a degree of consistency, as aligned with our expectations. Service providers\' ratings of parent and child engagement were not significantly correlated and paired t-tests indicated significantly higher engagement scores for parents than children.
CONCLUSIONS: The study provides preliminary evidence to support the reliability and validity of the PRIME-SP as a tool for service providers to document, reflect on and monitor child and/or parent engagement.

摘要：
背景：客户参与儿科康复的兴趣与日俱增。本文研究了服务提供者对情感的感知的心理测量特性，残疾儿童及其父母在儿科康复治疗中的认知和行为参与。
方法：使用60个服务提供者对77名儿童和73名父母的参与评分，对参与服务提供者版本（PRIME-SP）的儿科康复干预措施的重测可靠性进行了检验。使用已知组效度技术检查结构效度，利用服务提供商对与服务提供商参加同一会议的父母及其子女的参与度进行评级。我们假设会有很大的不同，然而，儿童及其父母的参与度等级是适度相关的。
结果：有证据表明儿童评分的重测可靠性中等，指示跨场合的动态性，还有一定程度的一致性，符合我们的期望。服务提供者对父母和孩子参与的评分没有显着相关，配对t检验表明父母的参与得分明显高于孩子。
结论：该研究提供了初步证据来支持PRIME-SP作为服务提供商记录的工具的可靠性和有效性，反映和监控孩子和/或父母的参与。
