TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Reliability and validity of Korean version of the Child Abuse Potential Inventory JO - Child Health Nursing Research A1 - Lee, Sona A1 - Ahn, Hye Young SP - 85 EP - 94 VL - 25 IS - 2 N2 - PURPOSE: This study presents methodological research that aimed to verify the content validity, construct validity, reliability, and criterion-related validity of the Child Abuse Potential Inventory (CAPI), originally developed by Milner and then translated into Korean by Ahn.

METHODS: Data used in this study were collected from 209 mothers of infants, toddlers, and children of preschool age in D metropolitan city. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.

RESULTS: The Korean version of the Child Abuse Potential Inventory (K-CAPI) was developed by condensing 44 of the original 77 CAPI items. Four factors of K-CAPI were extracted using principal component analysis. These 4 factors-distress; problems with child, self, family, and others; unhappiness; rigidity-accounted for 54.01% of variance. The Cronbach's ⍺ was.96, the Guttman split-half coefficient was.88, and test-retest reliability was r=.86 (p<.001).

CONCLUSION: The results of this study established the reliability and validity of the K-CAPI and found it to be an appropriate tool to evaluate mothers' potential to abuse their children.
