Entwicklung und Validierung des Inventars zur funktionellen Erfassung selbstverletzenden Verhaltens (IfES) bei Menschen mit intellektueller Beeinträchtigung

Published Online:June 27, 2012https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000070

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Das Inventar zur funktionellen Erfassung selbstverletzenden Verhaltens (IfES) ist der erste deutschsprachige, speziell für Menschen mit intellektueller Beeinträchtigung entwickelte und faktorenanalytisch überprüfte Fremdbeurteilungsfragebogen mit dem Auslöser und Funktionen des selbstverletzenden Verhaltens erfasst werden können. Ziel des Artikels ist die Beschreibung der Testkonstruktion und der psychometrischen Qualität. Die Untersuchung wurde an einer bundesweiten Stichprobe in Einrichtungen der Behindertenhilfe (n = 452) durchgeführt. Die faktorielle Validität wurde u.a. durch eine konfirmatorische Faktorenanalyse (CFA) überprüft und führte zu einer 5-faktoriellen Lösung mit 24 Items (u.a. RMSEA. .052). Die interne Konsistenz (Cronbachs a) der einzelnen Skalen liegt zwischen .57 und .83. Die Interrater Reliabilitäten (n = 125) für die Subskalen weisen Werte von .61 bis .84 auf. Die Test-Retest-Reliabilitäten (n = 138) liegen zwischen .74 bis .90. Die konvergente Validität wurde mittels eines Fragebogens aus dem angloamerikanischen Raum ermittelt und erwies sich für die einzelnen Subskalen als befriedigend bis sehr gut. Die praktische Eignung des neuen Instrumentes sowie dessen psychometrische Qualität werden diskutiert.


Development and validation of the Inventory for Functional Assessment of Self-Injurious Behavior (IfES) for persons with intellectual disability

Abstract. The Inventory for Functional Assessment of Self-Injurious Behavior (IfES) is the first German instrument specifically designed to assess the functions and conditions that trigger the self-injurious behavior in people with intellectual disabilities. The aim of the present contribution is to describe the development and psychometric properties. The investigation was accomplished in a representative sample (n = 452) in facilities for people with disabilities. Among other methods, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used. The model fit for the 5 factor structure with 24 items was satisfying (e.g., RMSEA .052). The psychometric properties exhibit fair to good internal constistency (Cronbach’s a), ranging from .57 to .83 for the subscales. Interrater reliability of the subscales (n = 125) ranged from .61 to .84 and test-retest reliability (n = 135) ranged from .74 to 90. Finally, convergent validity could be demonstrated with an american scale. The practical suitability of the new instrument as well as its psychometric quality is discussed.
