The scope of this study is to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument to measure parents\u2019 psychological empowerment in their children\u2019s vaccination decision and propose a context-specific definition of this construct.<br \/>\n<em>Materials and Methods.<\/em>\u00a0Grounding in previous qualitative data, we generated an initial pool of items which was later content and face validated by a panel of experts. A pretest allowed us to reduce the initial pool to 9 items. Convergent and discriminant validity measures included the General Self-Efficacy Scale, a Psychological Empowerment Scale, and the Control Preference Scale. Vaccination-related outcomes such as attitude and intention were also included.<br \/>\n<em>Results<\/em>. Principal Component Analysis revealed a 2-factor structure, with each factor composed of 2 items. The first factor concerns the perceived influence of one\u2019s personal and family experience with vaccination, while the second factor represents the desire not to ask other parents about their experience with vaccination and their lack of interest in other parents\u2019 vaccination opinion.<br \/>\n<em>Conclusions<\/em>. In light of its association with positive immunization- related outcomes, public health efforts should be directed to reinforce parents\u2019 empowerment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/jphr.2017.955 Marta Fadda Institute of Communication and Health, Faculty of Communication Sciences, University of Lugano; Department of Health Sciences and Technology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3537-0346 Elisa Galimberti Department of Health Sciences and Technology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
