Résumé

CONTEXTE : Pour les jeunes enfants sur le spectre de l'autisme, l'inclusion d'activites musicales partagees parent-enfant dans la vie quotidienne peut offrir des occasions supplementaires d'interactions sociales au domicile. Cependant, aucune evaluation validee psychometriquement n'existe pour mesurer l'etendue des activites musicales partagees dans des contextes familiaux ou communautaires. OBJECTIF : Cette etude visait a elaborer et a tester la fiabilite d'une evaluation auto-rapportee afin de mesurer l'utilisation de Music in Everyday Life (MEL) par des parents avec de jeunes enfants sur le spectre de l'autisme. METHODES : Au total, 45 meres d'enfants autistes ages de 4 a 7 ans ont rempli le questionnaire MEL. La coherence interne et la correlation item-total ont ete examinees. RESULTATS : L'analyse a confirme la fiabilite de deux sous-echelles predeterminees : Music in Everyday Life-Joint Activities using Music (MEL-JAM) et Music in Everyday Life-Routine Activities using Music (MEL-RAM). La coherence interne (alpha de Cronbach de 0.63 et 0.75) et une correlation item-total positive (r de Pearson entre .23 et .62 pour MEL-JAM et entre .30 et .67 pour MEL-RAM) ont ete demontrees. CONCLUSIONS : La fiabilite de l'evaluation MEL pour mesurer l'utilisation de la musique dans la vie quotidienne par les parents avec leurs enfants autistes a ete confirmee, comblant une lacune importante dans la disponibilite des outils d'evaluation.

BACKGROUND: For young children on the autism spectrum, the inclusion of shared parent-child music activities in everyday life may provide additional opportunities for social interactions in the home. However, no psychometrically validated assessment exists to measure the extent of shared music activity within family or community contexts. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and test the reliability of a self-report assessment to measure the use of Music in Everyday Life (MEL) by parents with young children on the autism spectrum. METHODS: A total of 45 mothers of children with autism aged between 4 and 7 years completed the MEL questionnaire. Internal consistency and item-total correlation were examined. RESULTS: Analysis confirmed the reliability of two predetermined subscales: Music in Everyday Life-Joint Activities using Music (MEL-JAM) and Music in Everyday Life-Routine Activities using Music (MEL-RAM). Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.63 and 0.75) and positive item-total correlation (Pearson's r between.23 to.62 for MEL-JAM and between.30 to.67 for MEL-RAM) were demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS: The reliability of the MEL assessment to measure the use of music in everyday life by parents with their children with autism was confirmed, filling an important gap in the availability of assessment tools.
