This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the CAPP-PSI in an Italian pediatric population. Methods: Following international guidelines, the CAPP-PSI was translated and culturally adapted. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach\u2019s alpha, while test\u2013retest reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Construct validity was measured by analyzing correlations among subscales. Results: A total of 113 children with congenital or acquired upper limb amputation, accompanied by their parents, were recruited from the Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital in Rome. The Italian CAPP-PSI demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s alpha = 0.913) and strong test\u2013retest reliability (ICC = 0.966). Subscale correlations showed strong relationships between child and parent satisfaction (r = 0.724, p &lt; 0.01) and parent satisfaction with service (r = 0.612, p &lt; 0.01), while moderate correlations were observed between child satisfaction and service (r = 0.434, p &lt; 0.01). Conclusions: The Italian version of the CAPP-PSI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing prosthetic satisfaction in pediatric populations. It provides valuable insights for clinicians and researchers, supporting patient-centered care and targeted improvements in prosthetic design and services. Future studies should explore longitudinal outcomes and the role of psychosocial factors in prosthetic acceptance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children12020130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,24]],"date-time":"2025-01-24T11:50:47Z","timestamp":1737719447000},"page":"130","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Child Amputee Prosthetics Project\u2014Prosthesis Satisfaction Inventory (CAPP-PSI): Validation of Italian Version in Children with Upper Limb Amputation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1815-6102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luigino","family":"Santecchia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedic Unit, Hand Surgery and Orthoplastic Service, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, 00165 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7160-0092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gessica","family":"Della Bella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Management and Diagnostic Innovations & Clinical Pathways Research Area, Neurorehabilitation and Adapted Physical Activity Day Hospital, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, 00165 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Caspi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Occupational Therapy, Sapienza University of Rome, 00158 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Luttazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Management and Diagnostic Innovations & Clinical Pathways Research Area, Neurorehabilitation and Adapted Physical Activity Day Hospital, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, 00165 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Pochiero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Management and Diagnostic Innovations & Clinical Pathways Research Area, Neurorehabilitation and Adapted Physical Activity Day Hospital, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, 00165 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3215-1375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabrizio","family":"Taffoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Advanced Robotic and Human-Centered Technologies, Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome, 00128 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giordana","family":"Mariani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Management and Diagnostic Innovations & Clinical Pathways Research Area, Neurorehabilitation and Adapted Physical Activity Day Hospital, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, 00165 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Gaudenzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Management and Diagnostic Innovations & Clinical Pathways Research Area, Neurorehabilitation and Adapted Physical Activity Day Hospital, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, 00165 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Donatella","family":"Valente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, 00158 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2071-4513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Tofani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Management and Diagnostic Innovations & Clinical Pathways Research Area, Professional Development, Continuous Education and Research Service, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, 00165 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Life Sciences, Health and Healthcare Professions, Link Campus University, Via del Casale di San Pio V, 44, 00165 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"143","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2013.09.002","article-title":"Pediatric Replantation","volume":"39","author":"Abzug","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
