摘要

The Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP) is a tool designed to assess the coping strategies employed by parents of critically ill children. This study aimed to culturally adapt and psychometrically evaluate the Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP) among Chinese parents of children with leukemia. A hospital-based survey was conducted in Suzhou, China, involving 435 family caregivers of hospitalized children with cancer. The CHIP, a self-reporting instrument with 45 items, was adapted to align with Chinese cultural values and assessed for reliability and validity. The study utilized the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) to evaluate convergent validity. The findings indicated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.90) and structural validity, with a three-factor structure explaining 56.0% of the variance. The CHIP demonstrated significant positive correlations with MSPSS and GSE, and negative correlations with ZBI, suggesting its utility in identifying parental coping strategies and caregiver burden. This culturally adapted CHIP enhances clinical practice and policy development by providing a robust tool for assessing coping strategies among Chinese parents of children with leukemia. Future research should validate the CHIP in diverse regions of China and explore longitudinal impacts on parental well-being.
