Abstract

Objective To translate the Paternal Involvement with Infants Scale ( PIWIS) into Chinese version, and to test its reliability and validity. Methods The procedure of translation, back-translation and cross-cultural adaptation of PIWIS were carried out under Beaton's cross-cultural adjustment guideline.A total of 224 fathers of infants aged 0 to 12 months were surveyed, and the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of PIWIS were verified. Results The Chinese version's Cronbach's α was 0.940,the Cronbach's α for each subscale of warmth, control, frustration, indirect care, and active participation in the Chinese version of PIWIS were 0.934, 0.924, 0.753, 0.632 and 0.861, respectively.Repeated measures reliability of PIWIS was 0.876.Confirmatory factor analysis supported a 5-factor solution with good structural validity(χ² /df=2.676, RMSEA=0.086, CFI=0.841, TLI= 0.827).As a scalar scale, the PIWIS score was positively correlated with the score of Brief Coparenting Relationship Scale. Conclusion Chinese version of the PIWIS includes 33 items in 5 subscales, with acceptable reliability and validity.
