Abstract

Background: Among different factors, self-efficacy is one of the most suitable components for predicting smoking behavior among adolescents. Therefore, it is essential to design a native tool to measure this high-risk behavior in adolescents and implement prevention programs in this age group. Aim: This study aimed to design and validate a smoking abstinence self-efficacy questionnaire in female adolescents. Method: In this methodological study, a comprehensive literature review was conducted, and the available similar questionnaires were used to prepare the items. In total, 351 female schoolchildren were selected by convenience sampling in Mashhad, Iran, between October 2017 and January 2018. Face and content validity and construct validity were applied for psychometric evaluation of the developed tool. The reliability of the tool was tested by internal consistency. Results: The final version of the smoking abstinence self-efficacy scale in Iranian female adolescents includes 16 items after a psychometric evaluation. The content validity of the tool was obtained at 0.99. Moreover, exploratory factor analysis explored three factors of emotional, social, and high-risk situations explaining 60% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was estimated at 0.94. Implications for Practice: The smoking abstinence self-efficacy scale is a valid and reliable tool among Iranian female adolescents derived from the native context of this group of people which can examine smoking abstinence self-efficacy in three dimensions of emotional, social, and high-risk situations. Moreover, it can identify adolescents with different levels of smoking abstinence self-efficacy.

伊朗女性青少年戒烟自我效能感量表的编制与验证

背景:在众多因素中，自我效能感是最适合预测青少年吸烟行为的因素之一。因此，有必要设计一种本地工具来测量青少年的这种高危行为，并在这一年龄组实施预防方案。目的:设计并验证女性青少年戒烟自我效能感问卷。方法:在方法学研究中，全面查阅文献，采用现有同类调查问卷编制项目。2017年10月至2018年1月期间，通过方便抽样在伊朗马什哈德共抽取了351名女学童。采用面效度、内容效度和构念效度对开发的工具进行心理测量评价。通过内部一致性检验工具的可靠性。结果:伊朗女性青少年戒烟自我效能量表经心理测量学评估后，最终编制出包含16个项目的戒烟自我效能量表。该工具的含量效度为0.99。此外，探索性因素分析探讨了情绪、社会和高风险情境三个因素，解释了60%的方差。问卷的Cronbach's alpha系数估计为0.94。实践意义:戒烟自我效能量表是伊朗女性青少年的有效和可靠的工具，它来源于这一群体的本土背景，可以在情感、社会和高风险情况三个维度上检查戒烟自我效能。此外，它可以识别不同程度的青少年戒烟自我效能感。

期刊介绍： The Evidence Based Care Journal (EBCJ) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of patient care. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports patient care in practice. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, EBCJ seeks to enrich insight into clinical needs and the implications for patient care intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on clinical practicality of research findings and strength of study design. EBCJ is essential reading for anyone involved in healthcare professions, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on patient care.
