AIM To identify sensory reactivity assessments published in the literature for children aged 3 to 12 years and evaluate their psychometric properties to select the most appropriate one for adaptation to South Africa, with implications for other low- and middle-income countries. METHOD We addressed the following two review questions. What tests have been published in the literature in the past 30 years to evaluate sensory reactivity with children aged 3 to 12 years? What is the validity and reliability of the tests reported in the studies? The COnsensus-based standards for the Selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) methodology was used. We searched eight databases. Two reviewers independently screened and selected the studies. RESULTS The reviewers identified 41 studies, representing 19 assessments. The most common type of assessment was the proxy-reported caregiver questionnaire. Sensory systems most often assessed were visual, tactile, auditory, and vestibular. Study populations included those with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and children born preterm. Ratings for measurement properties of most assessments were moderate to low. INTERPRETATION Limited psychometric information was reported, with low ratings for many properties. The Sensory Processing 3-Dimensions Scale was selected on the basis of its psychometric properties and alignment with best-practice recommendation to use a caregiver questionnaire and a performance test to assess sensory reactivity.

儿童感觉反应性评估：系统评价。

目的 识别文献中发表的针对 3 至 12 岁儿童的感觉反应性评估，并评估其心理测量特性，以选择最适合适应南非的评估，并对其他低收入和中等收入国家产生影响。方法 我们解决了以下两个复习问题。过去 30 年文献中发表了哪些测试来评估 3 至 12 岁儿童的感觉反应性？研究中报告的测试的有效性和可靠性如何？使用基于共识的健康测量工具选择标准 (COSMIN) 方法。我们检索了八个数据库。两名评审员独立筛选和选择研究。结果 评审员确定了 41 项研究，代表 19 项评估。最常见的评估类型是代理报告的护理人员问卷调查。最常评估的感觉系统是视觉、触觉、听觉和前庭。研究人群包括患有自闭症谱系障碍、注意力缺陷/多动障碍和早产儿的人群。大多数评估的测量属性评级为中等到低。解释 报告的心理测量信息有限，许多房产的评级较低。感觉处理三维量表的选择是基于其心理测量特性以及与最佳实践建议的一致性，即使用护理人员问卷和性能测试来评估感觉反应性。
