Development of the Family-School-Community Cooperation Dilemma Scale for Nutritional Education in Primary School Students and its reliability and validity
Objective To develop the Family-School-Community Cooperation Dilemma Scale for Nutritional Education in Pri-mary Schools Students,and to determine its reliability and validity,in order to provide a basis for developing targeted strategies to promote family-school-community cooperation in the area of nutritional education.Methods Based on overlapping spheres of in-fluence theory,the initial scale was developed through a qualitative and literature review,discussion with Delphi experts and a pilot survey from July 2022 to July 2023.From July to September 2023,a total of 125 primary school parents,118 primary school teach-ers and 113 community personnel were selected from six cities in Jiangsu Province by convenient sampling methods,who were in-vestigated to test the reliability and validity of the scale and to develop a formal scale.Results The final Family-School-Communi-ty Cooperation Dilemma Scale for Nutritional Education in Primary School students consisted of 3 dimensions and 19 items.The ex-ploratory analysis extracted three metric factors,with a contribution ratio of 69.07%to the accumulated variance.The mean scale component effectiveness was 0.94,and the coefficient of association between the respective dimensions and the scale ranged from 0.80 to 0.91.The overall Cronbach α coefficient for the scale was 0.95,the folded half reliability was 0.87,and the retest reliability was 0.98.Conclusion The Family-School-Community Cooperation Dilemma Scale for Nutritional Education in Primary School Students has good reliability and validity,and can be used to measure the degree of the family-school-community cooperation di-lemma regarding nutritional education in primary school students.
