Purpose:
The objective of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire for analyzing Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) about risk factors in otitis media (OM) in children among their caretakers.
Methods:
The questionnaire was developed following a standardized protocol that consisted of a literature search, peer review, item generation, and expert validation, for construct, content and face validity of items in the questionnaire followed by a cross-sectional survey on 100 caretakers, this was followed by the reliability test of the items in Questionnaire.
Results:
A KAP questionnaire with 24 items categorized under three domains knowledge, attitude, and practices was developed. The KAP sections have 12, 5, and 7 items, respectively. The Content validity ratio (CVR) of our questionnaire was 0.>0.49, Item -Content Validity Index (I-CVI) was 0.78, Scale content Validity Index average (SCVI a) was 0.9. indicating that all items of the questionnaire could be retained. The Independent Cronbach's α for KAP domains were 0.658, 0.731, and 0.522, respectively, and for the total questionnaire was 0 0.730, indicating good internal consistency.
Conclusion:
The developed questionnaire will help achieve a better understanding of the caretakers' KAP about risk factors in otitis media in children. This RFOMQ-24 has satisfactory validity and good internal consistency.
