Abstract

Background: Poor knowledge of tuberculosis (TB) patients on tuberculosis affects adherence. It is necessary to measure patient awareness of the disease and treatment to assess the extent to which patients know about the disease and its treatment. A good questionnaire has been tested for validity and reliability. Currently, some studies need to show the validity process of the TB knowledge questionnaire directly. Objective: To measure the validity and reliability of the tuberculosis patient knowledge questionnaire. Method: Accidental sampling was used in the research approach. By comparing the corrected item-total item values, the construct validity and reliability of the final knowledge questionnaire were evaluated. Additionally, an internal consistency test with an alpha coefficient (Cronbach's Alpha) was used to assess the questionnaire’s reliability. Result: A total of 93 respondents were picked from different Bengkulu healthcare centers. The validity test results indicate the corrected item-total item > 0.30. According to the findings of the reliability test, Cronbach's alpha > 0.60 throughout. Conclusion: This study proves the validity and reliability of the knowledge questionnaire as a tool for measuring knowledge.

结核病患者知识问卷的有效性和可靠性评估

背景：结核病（TB）患者对结核病的认识不足会影响其坚持治疗。有必要测量患者对疾病和治疗的认识，以评估患者对疾病和治疗的了解程度。一份好的问卷已经过有效性和可靠性测试。目前，一些研究需要直接显示结核病知识问卷的有效性过程。目的测量肺结核患者知识问卷的有效性和可靠性：研究方法：采用意外抽样法。通过比较校正后的项目-项目总值，评估最终知识问卷的建构效度和信度。此外，还使用α系数（克朗巴赫α）进行内部一致性测试，以评估问卷的可靠性：从不同的明古鲁医疗中心共抽取了 93 名受访者。效度测试结果表明，校正后的项目-总项目>0.30。根据信度测试的结果，Cronbach's alpha > 0.60。结论本研究证明了知识问卷作为知识测量工具的有效性和可靠性。
