ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study translated, culturally adapted, and validated the Korean version of the Family Needs Questionnaire–Pediatric Rehabilitation (FNQ-PR) to assess the needs of caregivers of children with disabilities in South Korea. METHODS: A cross-sectional study with a test–retest design was conducted among 195 caregivers of children aged 2–18 years with neuromotor, neurodevelopmental, or orthopedic disabilities. After obtaining permission from the original authors, the FNQ-PR was translated and culturally adapted through forward translation, caregiver review, grammatical revision, back-translation, and expert approval. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using polychoric correlations and principal axis factoring with oblique rotation was followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the WLSMV estimator. The internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s α, and the test–retest reliability was evaluated in 30 caregivers randomly selected using Excel. RESULTS: EFA identified five factors that explained 64% of the variance: Support for the Child, Support for the Caregiver, Support for Rehabilitation Participation, Support for Social Participation, and Support for the Environment. Cronbach’s α ranged from .87 to .92. The CFA showed good model fit (SRMR = .06, CFI = .99, TLI = .99, RMSEA = .09). The test–retest reliability was moderate to high across most items, and the lowest mean scores related to transition to adulthood. CONLUSION: The Korean FNQ-PR showed strong validity and reliability. It is a culturally appropriate tool for assessing the caregiver needs in pediatric rehabilitation and can help improve family-centered services in South Korea.
