| description | Respiratory tract infection is a common infection among pilgrims during
Hajj pilgrimage. A survey may provide information in preventing highly potential
infections during Hajj pilgrimage. To validate a newly developed knowledge, perception and practice (KPP)
questionnaire on respiratory tract infection protective measures among Malaysian Hajj
pilgrims. After a detailed content and face validity evaluation, a self-administered
questionnaire with 74 items was developed which assessed level of KPP towards
respiratory tract infection protective measures. Data was collected from 303 pilgrims in
2012. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) as data reduction for knowledge and perception
domains was done using IBM SPSS 20.0. Further construct validity was evaluated on
perception domain by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using AMOS 18.0. All three
domains including practice were checked for internal consistency. The mean (SD) of age of the respondents was 55.27 (10.32) years old.
Majority of them were Malay (98.0%) and there were a total of 184 of male and 119
female Hajj pilgrims. Most of them were already married (87.8%). Only 76 respondents were worked with government and the highest level of education background was from secondary school (41.3%). There were three components extracted for each knowledge
and perception domains in EFA. The perception domain performed model fit since
fitness indeces were satisfactory in CFA as Chisquare(df),p-value= 17.62(11), 0.091; AIC=51.62; ECVI=0.256; TLI/CFI= 0.977/0.988; RMSEA=0.055; SRMR=0.04; Chisquare/(df)=1.60. Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) for KPP were 0.51, 0.78
and 0.78, respectively. However, the CFA for knowledge domain was not performed
due to unidentified problem of the model. Otherwise, it was considered content
validated under a single construct. A total of thirty-six items were retained in the final
questionnaire. The KPP was valid but less reliable only on knowledge domain. Thus,
further, improvement should be performed to increase the validity and reliability of
questionnaire. |
