Resumo: There is a lack of validated instruments to evaluate child protection programs in Portugal. The present study analyzed the psychometric characteristics of the Child Well-Being Scales (CWBS), a multidimensional measure of potential situations of abuse and neglect, in 276 families at psychosocial risk. Measures of parental efficiency, satisfaction and parental symptomatology were also collected. Through exploratory factor analysis, a 3-factor solution, similar to the original version was identified, with high levels of internal consistency (A between 0.82-0.86) and good model fit (GFI = 0.97, RMSR = 0.06). Regarding construct validity, significant correlations were found that were in line with theoretical expectation. Our results support the utility of EBI as a guide to the assessment and decision-making regarding child protection measures.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo validar y explorar las características psicométricas de las Escalas de Bienestar Infantil (EBI), una herramienta diseñada para la evaluación multidimensional de situaciones potenciales de abuso y negligencia. El instrumento fue aplicado por 46 técnicos a 276 familias acompañadas de servicios para la protección de menores en el Algarve. También se aplicaron medidas de efectividad, satisfacción parental y sintomatología parental. Mediante análisis factorial exploratorio se detectó una solución trifactorial muy similar a la versión original, con elevados niveles de consistencia interna para todas las dimensiones. Cuánto a la validez de constructo, se encontraron correlaciones significativas que corresponden a la expectativa teórica. Los resultados encontrados apoyan la aplicabilidad de las EBI, sirviendo como guía que apoya la evaluación y toma de decisiones sobre las medidas de protección infantil.Au Portugal, il y a un manque d'instruments validés pour l'évaluation des programmes de protection de l'enfance. La présente étude visait à valider et à explorer les caractéristiques psychométriques des échelles de protection de l'enfance, une mesure d'évaluation multidimensionnelle des situations potentielles de maltraitance et de négligence. L'instrument a été appliqué par 46 techniciens à 276 familles accompagnés de services de protection des mineurs en Algarve. Des mesures de l'efficacité et de la satisfaction parentales et la symptomatologie parentale ont également été recueillies. L'analyse factorielle exploratoire a détecté une solution à trois facteurs très identiques à la version originale, avec des niveaux élevés de cohérence interne. En termes de validité de construit, des corrélations significatives ont été trouvées dans la direction attendue. Les résultats trouvés confirment l'applicabilité de ces échelles, servant de guide pour l'évaluation et la prise de décision concernant les mesures de protection de l'enfance.Em Portugal, existe escassez de instrumentos aferidos para avaliar os programas de proteção da infância. Este estudo analisou as características psicométricas das Escalas de Bem-Estar Infantil (EBI), destinadas à avaliação multidimensional de potenciais situações de maltrato e negligência, em 276 famílias em risco psicossocial. Foram também recolhidas medidas de eficácia, satisfação e sintomatologia parental. A análise fatorial exploratória sugere uma estrutura com três fatores, similar à versão original, com boa consistência interna (A entre 0,82 e 0,86) e bons indicadores de ajustamento (GFI = 0,97, RMSR = 0,06). Relativamente à validade de construto, foram encontradas correlações significativas que correspondiam à expectativa teórica. Os resultados sustentam a aplicabilidade das EBI para a avaliação e tomada de decisão nas medidas de proteção da criança.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2022-08-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/3573410.1590/0102.3772e38515.pt Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 38 (2022)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 38 (2022)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 38 (2022)Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 38 (2022)1806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
