Abstract :Objective: This study was planned to develop the Participation Restriction Questionnaire for children based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Children and Youth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICF-CY);. Materials and Methods: A total of 242 children; 209 typically developing insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean age:6.82±4.22 years); and 33 with chronic diseases insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean age:74±4.98 years); and their parents were included in the study. The processes followed were literature review, item pooling based on ICF-CY, eliciting and evaluating expert opinion, scoring the scale, collecting data insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(with google forms);, and analyzing the data. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed for scale validity, and Cronbach α and Intraclass Correlation Coefficients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICC); were used for scale reliability. The re-test was applied to 33 volunteer families two weeks after the first test. Results: The final version of the scale was constituted of 23 items insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(after removing 7 items out of 30 items); and three subscales as body structures and functions, activity and participation, and environmental factors. The model fit was found acceptable insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(The Root Mean Square Error of Approximation=0.084, Goodness of Fit Index=0.779, Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index=0.732, Chi-Square/degrees of freedom=2.696, p<0.001);. For internal consistency Cronbach’s  insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(α=0.884-0.959); and for test-retest reliability ICC values insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICC=0.625-0.895); were found moderate to high insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Conclusion: These findings show that the Participation Restriction Questionnaire, developed as a new tool is a valid and reliable scale for children with typically developing and chronic diseases for evaluating participation. The questionnaire is recommended for use in further studies to identify the factors which restrict participation.
