Objective
The aim of the article was to examine the psychometric properties of the Epilepsy-related Fears in Parents Questionnaire (EFPQ).
Method
Internal consistency, factor structure, and construct validity were analyzed based on data from 291 parents participating in the baseline assessment of a quasi-experimental study on the efficacy of the FAMOSES (modulares Schulungsprogramm Epilepsie für Familien) parents' program. The control group of this study was used to calculate the test–retest reliability, while the responsiveness of the questionnaire was evaluated by comparing matched groups of FAMOSES participants and control parents.
Results
An exploratory factor analysis revealed two factors of epilepsy-related fears, “Fears about short-term consequences of the child's epilepsy” (8 items) and “Fears about the future development of the child and the child's epilepsy” (9 items). Both showed good reliability (Cronbach's α = .89 and .91, resp.; test–retest reliability: ICC = .77 and .80, resp.), and construct validity was confirmed by correlations with epilepsy-related variables and psychosocial outcomes, e.g., with the Impact on Family Scale (r = .48 and .61, resp.). The FAMOSES parents' program significantly reduced epilepsy-related fears (p < .05 for both subscales).
Conclusion
The EFPQ proved to be a reliable, valid, and responsive instrument for the assessment of parental fears about their child's epilepsy and can be recommended for use in future studies.
