Background And Aims:
Our goal was to develop an online questionnaire to survey the prevalence of suicidal behavior.
Methods:
We developed a questionnaire with 51 variables and proceeded with validations. Validations were performed using face validity, content validity, and construct validity. Reliability was performed by test-rest.
Results:
The face validity was 1.0 and the content validity was 0.91. The exploratory factor analysis got Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0.86 and extracted one principal factor. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrates root mean square error of approximation = 0.000 and comparative fit index = 1.000. The test-retest had an intraclass correlated coefficient of 0.98.
Conclusion:
The adequate development questionnaire was validated, and we have an instrument to survey suicide behaviors during the pandemic time.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
The general population of Marília voluntarily responded to the questionnaire, as well as patients from the principal investigator's office.
