Purpose: To re-validate stability and hierarchal ordering of items, test-retest reliability, and construct validity of the Ease of Caregiving for Children measure for parents of children with cerebral palsy (CP) up to 11 years of age.Methods: Participants were 613 parents of children with CP between 1.5 and 11 years of age. Parents completed Ease of Caregiving for Children and both parents and therapists classified children's levels of gross motor, manual and communication functions.Results: Rasch analysis indicated acceptable fit of items, stable item calibration, and logical ordering of items by difficulty. Test-retest reliability was good: ICC = 0.69 (95% CI 0.52-0.81). For construct validity, ease of caregiving was higher for parents of children with higher functioning compared to parents of children with lower functioning, p < .001.Conclusions: Ease of Caregiving for Children is a unidimensional, reliable and valid measure of physical caregiving for parents of children with CP 1.5-11 years.

便于儿童照料：对11岁以下脑瘫儿童的措施的心理计量学特性进行重新验证。

目的：重新验证11岁以下脑瘫患儿父母的项目稳定性和层级排序，重测信度并构建《儿童看护便利性》措施的有效性。 613名1.5至11岁的CP患儿父母。父母完成了《儿童照料的便利性》，父母和治疗师对儿童的粗大运动能力，手动和沟通功能进行了分类。结果：Rasch分析显示了可接受的物品适合度，稳定的物品校准和按逻辑顺序对物品的排序。重测可靠性良好：ICC = 0.69（95％CI 0.52-0.81）。就构造有效性而言，功能较高的孩子的父母比功能较低的孩子的父母易于照料，p <.001。
