Development of a KAP Questionnaire on Traumatic Hypothermia for Pre-hospital Rescuers and Its Reliability and Validity Test
Objective To develop a questionnaire assessing the knowledge,attitude and practice regarding traumatic hypothermia for pre-hospital rescuers based on the KAP theory,and test its reliability and validity.Methods The"KAP Questionnaire on Traumatic Hypothermia for Pre-hospital Rescuers"was developed through literature analysis and expert consultation.A questionnaire survey was conducted among the selected pre-hospital rescuers in Chongqing to refine the items and test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.Results The final"KAP Questionnaire on Traumatic Hypothermia for Pre-hospital Rescuers"consisted of three dimensions:knowledge(13 items),attitude(8 items)and practice(11 items),with a total of 32 items.For the 2 rounds of expert consultation,the authoritative coefficients were 0.831 and 0.892,the judgment coefficients were 0.931 and 0.977,and Kendall's coefficients of concordance were 0.190 and 0.199,respectively.For the entire questionnaire and its three dimensions,Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.920,0.921,0.944 and 0.893 and split-half reliability indexes were 0.717,0.878,0.905 and 0.764,respectively.For the entire questionnaire and its individual items,validity indexes were 0.989 and 0.846-1.000,respectively.The KMO value for the exploratory factor analysis was 0.892,and the cumulative variance contribution rate of the common factor was 65.906%.Conclusion The"KAP Questionnaire on Trau-matic Hypothermia for Pre-hospital Rescuers"developed through literature analysis and expert consultation demonstrates good reliability and validity.It is effective in assessing the knowledge,attitude and practice of pre-hospital rescuers regarding traumatic hypothermia
