Abstract

Introduction: Learning neuroanatomy is widely recognized as a significant source of neuroanxiety among medical students; a condition influenced by various factors, including self-efficacy in neuroanatomy learning. While neuroanatomy-related competencies are essential for graduating physicians, the constructs of neuroanxiety and self-efficacy in neuroanatomy learning have rarely been explored in the Indonesian context. This study aims to adapt and validate questionnaires to assess neuroanxiety and self-efficacy in learning neuroanatomy among Indonesian medical students.

Method: This study was conducted through stages for questionnaire adaptation and final data collection with the Indonesian version of the Neuroanxiety Scale (NAS) and Neuroanatomy Self-Efficacy Scale (NSES) questionnaires. Content validity was assessed using the Content Validity Index (CVI), while internal consistency was determined through Cronbach's alpha. Construct validity was obtained through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA).

Results: The CVI value for the NAS questionnaire was 0.88 and the NSES questionnaire was 0.94. The EFA results of NAS questionnaire extracted 1 factor which is neuroanxiety. The EFA results of NSES extracted 2 factors, namely perceived skills and transferability. The Cronbach's alpha value for the Bahasa Indonesia version of the NAS questionnaire was 0.860 and for the Bahasa Indonesia version of the NSES questionnaire was 0.878.

Conclusion: The Indonesian NAS and NSES questionnaires are valid and reliable for measuring neuroanxiety and self-efficacy in neuroanatomy learning among medical students.

神经焦虑量表和神经解剖学自我效能量表在印尼医学本科项目中的跨文化适应。

导读：学习神经解剖学被广泛认为是医学生神经焦虑的重要来源；受多种因素影响的状态，包括神经解剖学学习中的自我效能感。虽然神经解剖学相关的能力对即将毕业的医生来说是必不可少的，但神经解剖学学习中的神经焦虑和自我效能感的构建很少在印度尼西亚的背景下进行探索。本研究拟采用问卷调查方法，评估印尼医学生学习神经解剖学时的神经焦虑与自我效能感。方法：本研究采用印尼语版神经焦虑量表（NAS）和神经解剖学自我效能量表（NSES）问卷，经过问卷改编和最终数据收集阶段进行。使用内容效度指数（CVI）评估内容效度，通过Cronbach's alpha来确定内部一致性。通过探索性因子分析（EFA）获得结构效度。结果：NAS问卷CVI值为0.88，NSES问卷CVI值为0.94。NAS问卷的EFA结果提取了1个因子，即神经焦虑。NSES的EFA结果提取了2个因素，即感知技能和可转移性。印尼语版NAS问卷的Cronbach’s alpha值为0.860，印尼语版NSES问卷的Cronbach’s alpha值为0.878。结论：印尼式NAS和NSES问卷可有效、可靠地测量医学生神经解剖学学习中的神经焦虑和自我效能感。补充资料：在线版本提供补充资料，网址为10.1007/s40670-025-02367-y。
