- Abstract
Theoretical framework: The involvement of family members in the provision of informal care makes it important to assess the distribution of family roles. Objectives: To develop and validate a Escala de Avaliação de Papéis Familiares (Family Role Assessment Scale). A convenience sample (n=909) and a questionnaire were used. The information was coded and processed using the SPSS software, version 18.0. Methodology: A descriptive exploratory study was carried out. Results: The following eight factors were created: papel de prestador cuidados à criança (child-caregiver role) (α=0.963); papel de dona de casa (housekeeper role) (α=0.923); papel de dona de casa cuidados externos (housekeeper role, care outside the home) (α=0.624); papel organizador de atividades recreativas (recreational organiser role) (α=0.837); papel terapêutico (therapeutic role) (α=0.811); papel sexual (sexual partner role) (α=0.839); papel provedor de família (family provider role) (α=0.695), and papel socializador (socialiser role) (α=0.719). Each factor was assessed using subscales, resulting in a KMO=0.916 and χ2 =35065.895, with a degree of freedom of 2278 and α=0.894 for all items. Conclusion: Results showed satisfactory psychometric properties. This instrument has the potential to be applied to research activities and the supervision of family roles.
