Abstract

Child abuse adversely affects children's cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural development. The ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool, Parental version (ICAST-P) is a questionnaire that relies on parental responses to measure child abuse. Our objective was to assess the reliability, face validity, content validity and construct validity of the ICAST-P within an Iranian context. This is a methodological study that employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using partial least squares (PLS) to evaluate construct validity. The study involved 430 Iranian mothers with children aged 7–12 from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. The CFA results confirmed the model's fit (GOF = 0.38, SRMR = 0.079), and reliability indices (Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.707 to 0.883) supported the scale's internal consistency. The Persian version of the ICAST-P demonstrates robust psychometric properties, making it a reliable tool for identifying child maltreatment in Iran. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
