Resumo

---

Enquadramento: Os problemas socio-emocionais e comportamentais das crianças estão relacionados com o desenvolvimento de transtornos na vida adulta e afetam negativamente as relações com a família e os pares. É importante detetar precocemente estes problemas para o desenvolvimento saudável da criança. A Baby Pediatric Symptom Checklist (BPSC) é um instrumento simples e fiável para a avaliação de crianças de 1 aos 18 meses.

Objetivos: Este estudo tem como objetivo traduzir, adaptar e validar culturalmente a versão portuguesa europeia do BPSC, e analisar as diferenças sociodemográficas.

Metodologia: Participaram 185 pais portugueses de crianças de 1 aos 18 meses através do preenchimento de um questionário, num estudo quantitativo, transversal, e instrumental, com recurso à análise fatorial confirmatória.

Resultados: Na versão portuguesa, os índices de ajuste da escala original com três fatores apresentaram valores adequados (2/gl = 1,83; IFI = 0,91; RMSEA = 0,07; CFI = 0,91; AIC = 147,29).

Conclusão: Esta tradução para a língua portuguesa pode ser utilizada em crianças de 1 a 18 meses em Portugal, mantendo a sua precisão diagnóstica.
