Sammanfattning
Background: Impaired ability to manage time has been shown in several diagnoses common in
childhood. Impaired ability involves activities and participation domain (daily time management,
DTM) and body function and structure domain (time-processing ability, TPA). DTM needs to be
evaluated from an individual’s own perspective. To date, there has been a lack of self-rating
instruments for children that focus on DTM.
Aim: The aim of this study is to describe psychometric properties of Time-S when used in children
aged 10–17 years with a diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, CP or mild ID. Further, to test whether
TPA correlates with self-rated DTM.
Material and methods: Eighty-three children aged 10–17 years participated in the study. Rasch
analysis was used to assess psychometric properties. Correlation analysis was performed between
Time-S and a measure of TPA.
Results: The 21 items of the Time-S questionnaire fit into a unitary construct measuring self-perceived
daily management of an individual’s time. A non-significant, small correlation was found
between TPA and DTM.
Conclusion and significance: The results indicate good psychometric properties for the questionnaire.
The questionnaire is potentially useful in intervention planning and evaluation.
