摘要

Background

Child-to-Parent Violence (CPV) involves verbal, physical, financial, or emotional behaviors to control parents, causing significant family harm. In Iran, cultural stigma hinders CPV reporting, necessitating culturally adapted tools. The Child-to-Parent Violence Questionnaire (CPV-Q-P) offers a validated framework to assess CPV, addressing global and local family violence challenges.

Aims

This study aimed to culturally adapt and validate the Persian version of the Child-to-Parent Violence Questionnaire, Parents’ Version (CPV-Q-P), and assess the prevalence of child-to-parent violence (CPV) in Iran.

Methods

This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with 3721 parents of children aged 6–18, selected via convenience sampling from various schools and community centers in Iran. While convenience sampling limits the generalizability of the findings and may introduce selection bias, this method was chosen due to practical constraints and the exploratory nature of the study. To minimize bias, recruitment was performed across diverse geographic and socioeconomic areas, and participation was voluntary and anonymous. The CPV-Q-P was translated using the IQOLA protocol, validated through face and content validity assessments, and psychometrically evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Cronbach’s alpha, and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Data were analyzed using SPSS-24 and AMOS-18.

Results

The Persian CPV-Q-P demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.889, ICC = 0.845). EFA identified four factors: emotional, verbal, financial, and physical violence, explaining 64.50% of variance. CFA showed reasonable fit (RMSEA = 0.098, CFI = 0.888). CPV prevalence was 22.9%, with emotional violence (50.5%) being most common. Boys exhibited higher violence scores than girls, and violence was more frequent against mothers (24.2%) than fathers (19.2%). Children aged 6–8 and from low-income or single-parent families showed higher CPV rates.

Conclusion

The Persian CPV-Q-P is a valid, reliable, and concise tool for assessing CPV in Iran, where prevalence is lower than global averages, reflecting strong parental respect. This tool can inform evidence-based interventions.
