Development and validation of a knowledge,attitude and practice questionnaire to-wards self-management among patient receiving autologous skin grafting
Objective To evaluate knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP)towards self-management among patients receiving auto-logous skin grafting,and to provide reference for targeted interventions.Methods Based on KAP theory,a KAP questionnaire re-garding self-management was developed through literature review,group discussion,Delphi expert consultation,patient survey,item analysis,exploratory factor analysis,and reliability testing.Results The questionnaire included three dimensions:knowledge,attitudes,and practice,totaling 27 items.The results of exploratory factor analysis explained a variance of 66.271%.The scale le-vel content validity index(CVI)was 0.972,and the item-level CVI ranged from 0.824 to 1.000.The overall Cronbach's α coeffi-cient was 0.934,the split-half reliability was 0.831,and the test-retest reliability was 0.810.Conclusion The questionnaire has good reliability and validity,and can be used to measure KAP on self-management among patients receiving autologous skin graf-ting after further validation.
