The Operationalized Portage Inventory (OPI): Systematic Review

Abstract The goal of the present paper is to systematically review the use of the Operationalized Portage Inventory (OPI) instrument to measure children’s development from 0-6 years, in Brazilian publications. Using the PRISMA-P methodology, databases were assessed in Portuguese (Capes, BVS-Psychology, BVS-Bireme, Redalyc, Google Scholar) from 2002 to 2016. Forty-two studies were analyzed in terms of goals, procedures, design, results and limitations. Twelve papers were characterized as descriptive, 14 were correlational, and 16 involved intervention assessment. Studies suggested the OPI to be useful in describing and/or evaluating repertoires of 976 children with 19 different syndromes and 7 diverse risk conditions. More methodological rigor is recommended in future studies using the OPI.

摘要 本研究旨在系统回顾巴西已发表文献中，使用操作化波特奇评估量表（Operationalized Portage Inventory，OPI）对0至6岁儿童发展水平进行评估的应用情况。本研究采用PRISMA-P方法，检索并评估了2002年至2016年间的葡萄牙语数据库，包括Capes、BVS-Psychology、BVS-Bireme、Redalyc及Google Scholar，最终纳入42项研究，并从研究目标、实施流程、研究设计、研究结果与局限性五个维度展开分析。其中12项为描述性研究，14项为相关性研究，16项为干预效果评估类研究。研究结果显示，OPI可有效用于描述和/或评估976名罹患19种不同综合征、且存在7种不同风险状况的儿童的发展能力谱系。建议未来使用OPI开展的相关研究进一步提升方法学严谨性。
