Abstract

Background and objectives: Assessing knowledge, self-efficacy, and practice among a given population us-ing a validated and reliable questionnaire is crucial. The aim of this study was to translate, validate, and test the reliability of the knowledge, self-efficacy, and practice in the Arabic population. Methods and Study De-sign: A previously published knowledge, self-efficacy, and practice nutrition questionnaire was translated and validated into Arabic. A panel of translation and nutrition experts from Arab countries participated in translation and testing validity. A convenience sampling technique was used to recruit participants across 22 Arab countries. An online self-administered questionnaire was completed twice with an interval of 2 weeks. Tests of validity (face and content) and reliability (consistency and test-retest reliability) were used.

Results: A total of 96 participants had a mean age of 21.5 years, 68.7% were female, and 80.2% were students. The mean expert proportional content validity index scale was 0.95, and intra class correlation values ranged from 0.59 to 0.76; all of these values were highly statistically significant at retest.

Conclusions: The Arabic version of the questionnaire provided valid and reliable results for assessing knowledge, self-efficacy, and practice among Arab adolescents and young adults. This tool could assess nutritional education programs in a community setting and educational institutions targeting this population in Arab countries.

阿拉伯语版饮食问卷对阿拉伯年轻人营养知识、自我效能和实践的翻译、效度和可靠性

背景和目的:在特定人群中评估知识、自我效能和实践——使用有效和可靠的问卷是至关重要的。本研究的目的是翻译、验证和测试阿拉伯人口的知识、自我效能和实践的可靠性。方法和研究设计:将先前发表的知识、自我效能和实践营养问卷翻译并验证为阿拉伯语。来自阿拉伯国家的翻译和营养专家小组参与了翻译和效度测试。采用方便抽样技术在22个阿拉伯国家招募参与者。在线自我管理问卷完成两次，间隔2周。采用效度测试(面和内容)和信度测试(一致性和重测信度)。结果:96名参与者平均年龄21.5岁，女性占68.7%，学生占80.2%。专家比例内容效度指数量表均值为0.95，类内相关值为0.59 ~ 0.76;所有这些值在重测时均具有高度统计学意义。结论:阿拉伯语版本的问卷为评估阿拉伯青少年和年轻人的知识、自我效能和实践提供了有效和可靠的结果。该工具可以评估社区环境中的营养教育项目，以及针对阿拉伯国家这一人群的教育机构。
