ABSTRACT The current study seeks to examine the factor structure of the Procedural Coping Questionnaire (PCQ) in a sample of healthy children. In addition, the relation between the PCQ, a measure of medical procedure-specific coping strategies, was examined in relation to the Children’s Behavioral Styles Scale (CBSS), a measure of dispositional coping style. A sample of 192 healthy children completed an 18-item version of the PCQ and the CBSS. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted to examine factor structure of the PCQ. Correlations between each factor of the PCQ and subscales of the CBSS were examined. The EFA yielded a two-factor solution for the final 15 items of the PCQ retained, fitting theoretical conceptualizations of engagement/approach and disengagement/avoidant coping styles. Moderate to strong correlations were found between the Approach/Avoidant factors of the PCQ and the Monitoring/Blunting subscales of the CBSS. The results support the PCQ as a measure of situation-specific (i.e., medical procedure) approach-avoidant coping styles in healthy children.

程序应对问卷的探索性因素分析

摘要本研究旨在检查健康儿童样本中的程序应对问卷（PCQ）的因素结构。此外，检查了PCQ（一种针对医疗程序的应对策略）与儿童行为方式量表（CBSS）之间的关系，CBSS是一种应对方式。192名健康儿童的样本完成了PCQ和CBSS的18个项目的版本。探索性因素分析用于检查PCQ的因素结构。检查了PCQ的每个因子与CBSS的子量表之间的相关性。全民教育为保留的PCQ的最后15个项目提供了一个两因素解决方案，符合参与/进场和脱离/避免应对方式的理论概念。在PCQ的方法/避免因素与CBSS的监测/钝化子量表之间发现了中等至强相关性。结果支持PCQ作为健康儿童中针对特定情况（即医疗程序）的避免应对方式的量度。
