结构方程模型被用来检验环境、家庭和儿童因素作为身体残疾儿童休闲和娱乐参与的决定因素的理论模型。研究对象为427个有身体功能障碍的家庭和儿童(229个男孩和198个女孩)，分为3个年龄组(6-8岁、9-11岁和12-14岁)。数据是通过家庭访谈和自我管理的标准化问卷收集的。儿童在正式和非正式活动中的参与强度的显著直接预测因素是儿童的功能能力、家庭对社交和娱乐活动的参与以及儿童对正式和非正式活动的偏好。家庭凝聚力、不支持的环境和对孩子的支持关系对参与有显著的间接影响。调查结果表明，家庭发挥着至关重要的作用，以及支持参与的多方面方法的重要性。
Structural equation modeling was used to test a theoretically based model of environmental, family, and child factors as determinants of the leisure and recreation participation of children with physical disabilities. Participants were 427 families and children (229 boys and 198 girls) with physical functional limitations, in 3 age groups (6-8, 9-11, and 12-14 years). Data were collected via home interviews and self-administered standardized questionnaires. The significant direct predictors of children's participation intensity in both formal and informal activities were child functional ability, family participation in social and recreational activities, and child preferences for formal and informal activities. Family cohesion, unsupportive environments, and supportive relationships for the child had significant indirect effects on participation. The findings indicate the vital role played by families and the importance of multifaceted approaches to supporting participation.
