title: [Measure of parental behavior during children's ambulatory surgery].
abstract: A new instrument, l'Inventaire des conduites parentales, was validated by the main author during her doctoral studies. The purpose of her research was to measure the effect of an educational intervention on parent's behaviors. This instrument, based on an educational theoretical framework, was composed of 16 behaviors divided into 3 categories: verbal information, cognitive strategies and attitudes. The reliability of the initial version of the instrument was measured with a sample of 142 parents. The interrater agreement was of 94.3%. The factor analysis showed that 14 of the 16 items were closely related to 4 clusters of variables. Following the factor analysis results, and the utilization of this instrument by research assistants, it was revised and is now described in this article.
