Abstract

Objective: The Brief Accessibility, Responsiveness, and Engagement (BARE) Scale is a short self-report questionnaire that measures the key behaviors of the attachment system. It can be easily administered by both clinicians and researchers of different domains as the dyadic relationship between attachment and mental/physical health. It has been proved by a vast majority of studies. To our knowledge, no measure specifically focuses on couple attachment. Furthermore, we could not find any systematic review and/or meta-analysis which have been conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of BARE.
Methods: Two independent reviewers will search comprehensively through relevant databases and also grey literature. Information will be analyzed by means of priori-defined criteria by two of reviewers. Seemingly, data will be extracted from the full texts of included studies based on a set of data extraction forms in accordance with the related psychometric information. The methodological quality of studies on the development and validation of BARE will be assessed using consensus-based standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist. Finally, the psychometrics of this tool will then be analyzed using predefined criteria.
Results: Systematic review with meta-analyses involving multidimensional outcomes.
Discussion: In this protocol, we have briefly described our method for conducting a systematic review in order to measuring the psychometric properties of BARE. All of the reasons call for exploring the psychometric properties of BARE discussed comprehensively in the introduction.

Abstract [Persian]

مقدمه. مقیاس مختصر دسترسی پذیری، پاسخدهی و مشارکت عاطفی، پرسشنامة کوتاهی است که رفتارهای اصلی دلبستگی را ارزیابی می‌کند. لز جاییکه پژوهش‌های متعدد نشان داده‌اند دلبستگی میان زوجین با فاکتورهای مختلف سلامت جسم و روان رابطه‌ای دو سویه دارد، این ابزار می‌تواند به طور گسترده و به سهولت توسط درمانگران و پژوهشگران مورد استفاده قرار گیرد. در جستجوها، هیچ ابزار دیگری که به طور اختصاصی روی دلبستگی زوج تمرکز داشته باشد پیدا نشد. بر اساس دانش کنونی، هیچ پژوهش مرور سیستماتیک/ متاآنالیزی به ارزیابی ویژگی های روانسنجی این ابزار نپرداخته است.
روش/طرح. دو تن از پژوهشگران به جستجوی کامل پایگاه‌های داده و منابع غیررسمی خواهند پرداخت. اطلاعات از طریق ملاک‌های از پیش تعریف شده توسط دو تن از پژوهشگران تحلیل خواهد شد. داده‌ها با کمک فرم‌های استخراج داده، از متن کامل مطالعات وارد شده در پژوهش استخراج خواهند شد. کیفیت روش‌شناختی مطالعات با استفاده از چک لیست (COSMIN) ارزیابی خواهد شد. در نهایت ویژگی‌های روانسنجی این ابزار با استفاده از ملاک‌های از پیش تعیین شده، ارزیابی خواهد شد.
نتایج. نتایج مرور سیستماتیک و متاآنالیز در چند حوزه مختلف خواهد بود.
بحث. در این پروتکل به طور مختصر روش‌ اجرای مطالعة مرور سیستماتیک جهت سنجش ویژگی‌های روانسنجی ابزار BARE را توضیح داده شده است. تمام دلایلی که مشوق ما برای انجام این پژوهش است، به طور کامل در مقدمه آمده است. این اولین و مهم ترین مرحله برای فرمول بندی توصیه هایی به هر درمانگر و پژوهشگر حوزه زوج محسوب می شود.
