“…In a recent study performed on children with cerebral palsy, ICC was reported in the good range of 0.75 and 0.97 (13). The testretest reliability of the Taiwanese version of SFA was also reported at an appropriate level of 0.87 to 0.98 (12). In the present study, the ICC of the Iranian version of SFA was 0.96 for the whole test, which indicates the reliability of the test at a very desirable level.…”

“…In this case, the results are in line with the studies on the other version of this tool. For example, for assessing the internal consistency of the SFA items during the development of the SFA, several other studies used the Rash Analysis and reported the internal consistency of the SFA in the range of 0.82 to 0.98 (12). In the Chinese version of SFA on both normal and cerebral palsy students, Cronbach's alpha was reported to be in the range of 0.94 to 0.98, which is desirable (13,14).…”

“…In the Chinese version of SFA on both normal and cerebral palsy students, Cronbach's alpha was reported to be in the range of 0.94 to 0.98, which is desirable (13,14). In the Taiwanese version, Cronbach's alpha has been reported between 0.49 and 0.98 (12). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole test is α = 0.96, which indicates the desired level of internal consistency of the Persian version of SFA.…”

“…The test examines the extent of student participation in non-educational and social aspects. SFA evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of each student in functional activity and school participation at three levels: 1-Participation 2-Supporting the performance of activities 3-Performing activities (12). The results of SFA validity and reliability are reportedly excellent (8,(12)(13)(14).…”

The SFA is a questionnaire that is completed by one or more active specialists who know the students very well and observe the students' daily routine while doing homework and school activities.…”

Background: Nowadays, regarding the increasing awareness of health empowerment models in the field of the nature of the activity, the importance of the participation of children with functional disabilities is emphasized. The purpose of this study is to assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of school function assessment (SFA). Methods: A group of 80 children with physical disability along with their parents, teachers, and occupational therapists participated in this methodological study. Cronbach's alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated to assess the internal consistency and test-retest reliability of Persian version of SFA, respectively. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS software (version 21). Results:The mean age of children in this study was 9.6 years (SD = 1.1). 40 participants were females and 40 were males. Except for a few items, all items had acceptable content validity index (CVI > 0.7) and content validity ratio (CVR > 0.4). The Cronbach's

Nursing students worldwide have little interest in caring for a growing elder population. The purpose of this study, based on self-transcendence theory, was to test the effectiveness of a creative-bonding intervention (CBI) to promote self-transcendence and positive attitudes towards elders in Taiwanese nursing students. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare a CBI group (n = 100) with a friendly visit (FV) control group (n = 94). ANCOVA results indicated that after the intervention, the CBI group had significantly more positive attitudes towards elders than the FV group. Nursing school faculty may want to promote art-making activities between students and elders to foster students' interest in elder care.

Background/Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the School Function Assessment (SFA) for primary school students with cerebral palsy (CP) in Guangzhou, China. Methods: Ninety-three students with CP were recruited by convenience sampling from a special school. The Chinese version of the SFA was administered and an exploratory factor analysis with direct oblique rotation was used to extract the factor structure underlying the Activity Performance scales of the SFA. An intraclass correlation one-way random single measure was performed to study external reliability. Cronbach's alpha was used to study internal consistency. Results: The findings showed that the Chinese version of the SFA had high internal consistency with testeretest reliability [ICC (1, k) Z 0.49e0.97]. Conclusion: This study has established the applicability of the SFA for both clinical and research purposes in the Chinese population, and presented evidence of satisfactory psychometric properties in use with primary school students with CP in special schools.
