As such, nurses need to have instruments that assess this perception to increase the quality of the care provided to those families. This methodological study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Portuguese translation of the Iceland-Family Perceived Support Questionnaire (ICE-FPSQ) in parents of children\/adolescents with chronic conditions. The ICE-FPSQ was administered to 237 parents recruited from the day hospital and outpatient services of four hospitals in Northern Portugal. Cronbach\u2019s alpha reliability coefficients for the Total Scale, Cognitive Support, and Emotional Support subscales were excellent (\u03b1 = 0.96, \u03b1 = 0.93, \u03b1 = 0.96, respectively). Reasonable fit indexes were found by confirmatory factor analysis (\u03c72\/df = 2.799; CFI = 0.960; PCFI = 0.791, and RMSEA = 0.087), indicating a good model fit to the original structure. The ICE-FPSQ is a valid and reliable instrument to measure perceived support.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20010247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,27]],"date-time":"2022-12-27T03:05:56Z","timestamp":1672110356000},"page":"247","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Version of the Iceland-Family Perceived Support Questionnaire in Parents of Children and Adolescents with Chronic Condition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4301-3277","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Lemos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Center for Health Technology and Services Research at the Health Research Network (CINTESIS@RISE), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5715-855X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00edsa","family":"Andrade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Technology and Services Research at the Health Research Network (CINTESIS@RISE), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria do C\u00e9u","family":"Barbieri-Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Center for Health Technology and Services Research at the Health Research Network (CINTESIS@RISE), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing Department, University of Huelva, 21071 Huelva, Spain"}]},{"given":"Teresa","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Technology and Services Research at the Health Research Network (CINTESIS@RISE), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4556-0485","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L\u00edgia","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Technology and Services Research at the Health Research Network (CINTESIS@RISE), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Shajani, Z., and Snell, D.
