本文介绍了更多的心理测量数据和修订的评分程序，广泛使用的家庭规模的影响。这些分析是用在原始机构进行的验证研究产生的三个数据集进行的，这些数据集的人口来自与原始样本相同的市中心社区。该工具有一个代表整体家庭影响的强有力因素。此外，还有两个附属项目（财务影响和兄弟姐妹影响）可能会引起未来研究人员的兴趣。之前公布的总分与新总分的相关性为0.97。数据表明，对家庭规模的影响是一个容易管理，可靠，有效的措施，家庭成员的看法，儿童的慢性疾病的影响，可用于跨诊断组。对家庭的影响量表填补了儿童慢性疾病的心理和社会后果的测量空白，可用于临床和卫生服务研究。
This article presents additional psychometric data and a revised scoring procedure for the widely used Impact on Family Scale. The analyses were conducted with three datasets produced by validation studies conducted at the originating institution with populations drawn from the same inner-city communities as the original sample. The instrument has one robust factor representing overall family impact. In addition, there are two subsidiary sets of items (financial impact and sibling impact) of possible interest to future researchers. The correlation of the previously published and new Total Score is .97. Data indicate that the Impact on Family Scale is an easily administered, reliable, and valid measure of a family member's perception of the effect of a child's chronic condition that can be used across diagnostic groups. The Impact on Family Scale fills a gap in the measurement of the psychological and social consequences of chronic disorders in childhood that can be useful in clinical and health services research.
