[Empowerment of informal caregivers in mental health in childhood: validation of the Italian - Family Empowerment Scale (I-FES)].

CONCLUSIONS: The I-FES is valid and reliable and in comparison to existing scales, it allows to measure personal and interpersonal empowerment, but also that community level, combining everything in a single questionnaire. The mental health care systems in the developmental age can support empowerment, through the I-FES and associated parent training, allowing the informal IC a greater critical awareness, control, acceptance of the itself, participation; with increase of the health literacy.
