Abstract
This study conveys the results of children’s self-сare scale elaboration. Special attention is paid to health-related behaviors. The scale contains 11 items which refer to 3 blocks: maintaining, monitoring, and managing personal health conditions. The items are evaluated using an ordinal 5-point scale which reflects the child autonomy in self-care practices performance. Such a scale was essential to create since there was a lack of proposed scales in the scientific literature intended to measure health self-care practices among children with no diagnosed chronic illnesses. We share our experience of conceptualization and measurement of the children’s self-care behaviors in the case of Russian parents. The study started in 2022 from Delphi groups with 8 experts on child development. After that, in the beginning of 2023 piloting with 10 cognitive interviews with parents was conducted. Now we are on the stage of data analysis and creation of the analogous scale for adolescents and youth for self-report. The study was funded by HSE University.
