Öğe Attitudes towards vaccination among parents of children aged 0-5?years: A scale development study(Wiley, 2024) Dogan, Emel; Genc, Fatma Zehra; Kaya, Emine; Bilgili, Naile; Kitis, Yeter; Kan, AdnanBackgroundVaccination is the most important public health practice for preventing infectious diseases and maintaining health. However, some parents are hesitant to vaccinate their children.DesignThis study was designed as an instrument development study.MethodsThis study aimed to develop a scale to measure the attitudes of parents with children aged 0-5 years towards vaccination and to evaluate the validity and reliability of this scale. The data were collected from 691 participants between November 2020 and January 2021. During the development of the scale, experts provided feedback on its technical, content and language dimensions. The data were analysed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for conceptual validity and Cronbach's & alpha; and item-level test-retest analyses for reliability.ResultsThe developed scale is a reliable and valid tool for measuring attitudes towards vaccination among parents (Cronbach's & alpha; = 0.97, variance explained by these 28-item two factors = 62.47%).ConclusionThis scale can be used as a guide in measuring the attitudes of parents towards vaccination and determining the direction of primary health-care services based on the results of the measurement. What is already known about this topic?Vaccination plays an important role in health practice.Parents' attitudes towards vaccination affect their children's vaccination status.Increasing vaccination rates in children will contribute to the reduction of infectious diseases and mortality.What this paper adds?A new valid and reliable measurement tool for determining vaccine hesitancy has been developed.The validity and reliability of the scale of attitudes towards vaccination among parents of children aged 0-5 years were tested.The tool could be used to determine the attitudes of parents of children aged 0-5 years towards vaccination.The implications of this paperThe scale may help in determining factors affecting parents' attitudes on vaccination.The scale can generate data to guide nursing practices to increase vaccination rates.The scale can be used to influence nursing practices to increase vaccination rates and promote vaccine awareness, trust and acceptance.Öğe Development of a scale to measure quality of life of overweight women(Springer, 2020) Kitis, Yeter; Hisar, Filiz; Hisar, Kemal MacitPurpose This study presents the results of methodological research that derives evaluation items and tests the validity and reliability of the scale to measure quality of life of the overweight women. Methods The scale items were developed by the current researchers directly from the consultation data following a group interviewing process aiming to capture the women's experiences, who are currently receiving primary health care. Pretest interviews were used to ensure that the questions were understood correctly. Six experts determined items for content validity of the scale and the evaluations of experts were scored using a content validity index. The scale is a Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 to 5. The items were tested on a sample of 506 healthy women. The body mass indices of participants were 30 and above. Psychometric analyses included explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and item response theory. Parallel analysis was used to extract factors in EFA. Internal consistency and Spearman Brown split-half test correlation were used for testing reliability. Results The scale was refined as four final dimensions, comprising 40 items as a whole. The result of Bartlett's Test of Sphericity was found sufficient (chi(2) = 14164.92; p < 0.001) and the KMO value was 0.959. This statistically significant value (p < 0.001) indicates that the sampling was sufficient and data had normal distribution. Cronbach's alpha was 0.967. The Spearman Brown coefficient was found to be 0.884. Conclusion It was found that the scale is a valid and reliable assessment tool that can be used to measure the quality of life of overweight women.
