Handicap-Related Problems in Mothers of Children with Physical Impairments.

Wallander, Jan L.; Marullo, Daniel S.

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v18 n2 p151-65 Mar-Apr 1997

The Handicap-Related Problems for Parents Inventory (HPPI) was developed for the measurement of handicap-related problems experienced by mothers of children with chronic physical conditions. An initial evaluation of its psychometric properties was completed with 119 mothers of children with physical or sensory impairments. The HPPI demonstrated excellent internal consistency, good test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and construct validity. (Author/DB)
