Research Abstract

The Family Empowerment Scale (FES) is used to measure empowerment in families raising disabled children with community support. We developed the Japanese version of FES and tested the feasibility, internal consistency, re-test reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, factorial validity, concurrent validity with self-efficacy and self-esteem scales, and known-group validity in two groups with different social participation status in 205 guardians taking care of disabled children of 4-18 years. The FES Japanese version demonstrated high reliability and validity and possible usefulness in scientific researches is suggested. It could also be used as a measure of empowerment before and after nursing intervention and long-term follow-up in Japan.
