Abstract

The aim of this project is to develop and validate the Malay language version of the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) questionnaire for caretakers. A cross sectional study was conducted among 352 respondents. The self-administered questionnaire for HFMD contains four domains and a total of 30 items. The study included 75 kindergartens in Kuala Terengganu. Three government entities that operate kindergartens have offered a list of locations. Participants in this study were caretakers who were directly involved in the care of the children in the selected kindergartens. Several available methods were conducted for this study. The Cronbach Alpha method and Exploratory Factor Analysis were applied to determine the reliability and validities of the proposed constructs using pilot data. It was shown that the proposed constructs (varimax maximization) were reliable and valid for further investigation. Next, the new data was re-collected guided from pilot result suggestions to represent the field work. The field work data was then analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to assess the performance of the measurement model. All constructs were fit and met the acceptable limits of model fitness, reliability, and validities. This HFMD tool underwent forward and reverse translation, content validation, and adaptation in the Malay language. The validity and reliability of this measure have been established for HFMD's satisfactory exploratory factor analysis and internal consistency in measuring Knowledge, Attitude, Preventive Practices, and Health Belief

护理人员手足口病知识、态度、预防措施及健康信念的探索性因素分析

该项目的目的是开发和验证马来语版本的手足口病(手足口病)问卷，供护理人员使用。对352名受访者进行了横断面研究。手足口病自填问卷包含4个领域，共30个项目。这项研究包括了瓜拉登嘉楼的75所幼儿园。三家经营幼儿园的政府机构提供了一份地点清单。本研究的参与者是在选定的幼儿园中直接参与儿童照顾的看护人。本研究采用了几种可用的方法。采用Cronbach Alpha方法和探索性因子分析来确定使用试点数据提出的结构的信度和效度。结果表明，所提出的结构(方差最大化)是可靠和有效的，可用于进一步的研究。接下来，根据试点结果建议重新收集新数据，以代表实地工作。然后使用验证性因子分析(CFA)对现场工作数据进行分析，以评估测量模型的性能。所有构念均符合模型适合度、信度和效度的可接受限度。这个手足口病工具经过了马来语的正向和反向翻译、内容验证和改编。本量表在手足口病知识、态度、预防行为和健康信念的探索性因素分析和内部一致性方面取得了满意的效度和信度
