Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Perceived Efficacy and Goal Setting System (PEGS): Results from the First Austrian-German PEGS Version Exploring Meaningful Activities for Children
Occupation-based participatory assessment and treatment planning requires appropriate tools to explore clients' perceptions and priorities for their day-to-day lives. Currently, no such instrument is available in German for use with children and their proxies. This study aimed to translate and adapt the Perceived Efficacy and Goal Setting System (PEGS) for use in German-speaking regions. Translation, adaptation, and field testing of the Austrian-German PEGS version followed guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of self-report assessments. Forty-two children, ages 5 to 10, with various health conditions, their parents, and teachers participated in this study. The Austrian-German PEGS was successfully translated and culturally adapted. Children, their parents, and teachers reported the child's competences related to the addressed items and identified goals for intervention. Participants added specific culturally relevant activities. Data can now be used to further develop the PEGS for German-speaking regions and to continue research on culturally meaningful activities for children and families.
