Abstract

Background and Aim: Although play seems to be a simple concept, it is complex and varies according to individual experiences. Play is a process that follows no rule. It is a spontaneous, funny, flexible, completely attractive, vital, and challenging behavior that aims at no goal. Pretend play starts in childhood since 18 months. The play is a potential source for assessment of academic skills and pretend play is more related to preacademic skills. The purpose of the present study was translation and examination of the face and content validity of Persian version of the Child Initiated Pretend Play Assessment (CHIPPA).
Materials and Methods: The translation of the test was carried out based on the International Quality of Life Assessment. Then, face validity was determined by 5 and content validity was evaluated by 10 specialists in occupational therapy. Next, Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) were calculated.
Results: In the process of translation, some phrases were changed with regard to cultural considerations. CVI was foud to be 1 and CVR was 0.8 to 1 in all the items.
Conclusion: The Persian version of Child Initiated Pretend Play Assessment has an acceptable face and content validity.
