Reliability and validity study of parental feeding style questionnaire Original Article

Abstract

Summary Aim: We aimed to confirm the validity and internal reliability of Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire PFSQ which was a parent report measure and was designed to assess variations in parent rsquo;s feeding styles Material and Method: For this cross sectional study PFSQ was translated to Turkish and conducted among parents of both preschool students and patients who applied to the pediatric outpatient clinic 468 of 650 responded questionnaires were examined for factor structure The data were analyzed by PASW ver 18 and SPSS program Results: The nbsp; questionnaire was conducted among parents of 243 boys and 225 girls the mean age was nbsp; 5 84 plusmn;1 28 Reliability coefficients Cronbach Alphas of subscales ranged from 0 54 to 0 83 Factor structure internal reliability and subscale correlations were similar to original PFSQ Conclusions: Evidence for associations between parental feeding style and nbsp; subsequent weight trajectory of children needs to be established through longitudinal follow up studies Given the dramatic increase in obesity that has been observed in recent years and particularly the increase in childhood obesity investment in research in the development of obesity in childhood should be given a high priority Turk Arch Ped 2010; 45: 124 31 Key words: Parental feeding style questionnaire validity reliability
