Abstract

Background: We developed Korean Family Function Assessment Tool(KFFAT). In order to confide in the results of the KFFAT, it was necessary to verify the psychometric properties (validity and reliability).
Methods: To evaluate the reliability of the KFFAT, internal consistency and scale-item correlation was carried out with 800 middle and high school students and their 800 parents. A three-week interval test-retest was also carried out with
50 high school students and their 50 parents. In addition, the KFFAT was compared to the family APGAR and the FACES Ⅲ to evaluate the validity with 800 middle and high school students and their 800 parents.
Results: Cronbach alpha of each scale was 0.55-0.88 and overall scale-item correlation coefficient was believed to be appropriate. Pearson’s correlation coefficient of test-retest was 0.49-0.79 in each scale. There is little correlation
between the Family APGAR and the FACES Ⅲ with the KFFAT. However, the KFFAT shows similar results in the function of family with the Family APGAR and FACES Ⅲ.
Conclusion: From this reliability and validity test results, the Korean Family Function Assessment Tool (KFFAT) could be used as a assessment tool of Korean family function.
