Abstract: The support from nurses perceived by family members of children with chronic conditions
has been shown to be a protective factor at different levels in a family’s health. As such, nurses
need to have instruments that assess this perception to increase the quality of the care provided
to those families. This methodological study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the
Portuguese translation of the Iceland-Family Perceived Support Questionnaire (ICE-FPSQ) in parents
of children/adolescents with chronic conditions. The ICE-FPSQ was administered to 237 parents
recruited from the day hospital and outpatient services of four hospitals in Northern Portugal.
Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the Total Scale, Cognitive Support, and Emotional Support
subscales were excellent (α = 0.96, α = 0.93, α = 0.96, respectively). Reasonable fit indexes were
found by confirmatory factor analysis (χ
2/df = 2.799; CFI = 0.960; PCFI = 0.791, and RMSEA = 0.087),
indicating a good model fit to the original structure. The ICE-FPSQ is a valid and reliable instrument
to measure perceived support.
