The Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory (EPII) is a 92-item measure developed to assess tangible impacts of the pandemic including both negative (work, home, social, and health) and positive changes. The EPII has been used in a variety of studies, but a standard scoring system has not been determined. Parents of young children (N = 216) completed the EPII, Perceived Stress Scale, Parenting Stress Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS-PA and PANAS-NA), and COVID-19 Stress Scale (CSS) online September 2021-May 2022. The EPII was scored in three ways represented in the literature to examine which scoring method accounted for the greatest amount of variance in parents' stress and mood, independent of demographic factors and CSS. Hierarchical linear regression results revealed that one EPII scoring method consistently accounted for the greatest amount of variance in each outcome variable (largest R2) compared to the other two scoring methods. Additionally, number of negative and positive pandemic impacts accounted for more variance (larger β coefficient) in each outcome compared to demographic factors and CSS, with the exception that negative pandemic impacts were not associated with PANAS-PA. One method of scoring the EPII may maximize the measures' potential to account for variance in stress and mood among parents of young children. The EPII may be a valuable measure to include in studies examining the impact of the pandemic on parents' well-being even beyond the peak of the pandemic, as its association with stress and mood appears to be long-lasting and independent of demographic factors and COVID-19 stress.

研究对幼儿父母的流行病影响清单进行评分的方法。

流行病-大流行影响清单 (EPII) 是一项包含 92 项的衡量标准，旨在评估大流行的实际影响，包括负面（工作、家庭、社会和健康）和积极变化。EPII 已用于多种研究，但标准评分系统尚未确定。幼儿家长 (N = 216) 于 2021 年 9 月至 5 月在线完成了 EPII、感知压力量表、育儿压力量表、积极和消极情绪量表（PANAS-PA 和 PANAS-NA）以及 COVID-19 压力量表 (CSS) 2022. EPII 采用文献中描述的三种方式进行评分，以检查哪种评分方法对父母的压力和情绪产生最大的差异，且与人口因素和 CSS 无关。分层线性回归结果显示，与其他两种评分方法相比，一种 EPII 评分方法始终能够解释每个结果变量（最大 R2）的最大方差。此外，与人口因素和 CSS 相比，大流行病的负面和正面影响的数量在每个结果中造成了更大的方差（更大的 β 系数），但大流行病的负面影响与 PANAS-PA 无关。EPII 评分的一种方法可以最大限度地发挥测量的潜力，以解释幼儿父母的压力和情绪差异。EPII 可能是一项有价值的衡量标准，可纳入研究大流行病对父母福祉的影响（甚至在大流行病高峰期之后），因为它与压力和情绪的关联似乎是持久的，并且独立于人口因素和COVID-19 压力。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
