“…After conducting the validity test, the reliability analysis was done for each of the constructs' remaining items. Montshiwa et al (2014) and Ursachi et al (2015) had reported the following rules of thumb to describe Cronbach's alpha: less than 0.5 indicates unacceptable, 0.6-0.7 indicates an acceptable level, and 0.8 or greater stated an excellent level of reliability.…”

Having adequate knowledge, attitude, practice, and realistic perception (KAP2) of food poisoning prevention will minimize the risk of food poisoning while dining out. However, there is no validated KAP2 questionnaire on the prevention of food poisoning during dining out, notably among consumers. Throughout the current research, a validated KAP2 questionnaire on food poisoning and prevention during dining was developed. A crosssectional pilot survey was conducted among 30 selected consumers in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu. Convenience sampling was applied to the recruitment of consumers based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The KAP2 questionnaire comprised the knowledge section (42 questions), attitude (15 questions), practice (13 questions) and the perception (15 questions). Knowledge questions were analysed using difficulty and discrimination index, while attitude, practice, and perception were analysed by construct validity and reliability analysis. The difficulty index with less than 0.3 is considered as difficult, between 0.30-0.70 as an acceptable value, and more than 0.70 as easy. The discrimination index below than 0.2 is considered poor, between 0.2-0.24 as good, more than 0.35 as excellent items. The construct validity was conducted by referring to the value of Cronbach's alpha, inter-item correlation (˃ 0.30), item-total correlation (˃ 0.30), and Cronbach's alpha if item deleted. The results were found from 42 knowledge items, 29 easy items, ten acceptable items and three difficult questions. The discrimination index revealed that 25 items were poor, 11 items were excellent, three items had a good discrimination index and three items needed to be revised. Based on construct validity, five attitude's items, three practice's items and ten perception's items were removed due to inter-item correlation and item-total correlation value < 0.30. The reliability analysis of the attitude portion was 0.848 which is a good reliability, 0.780 practice, and 0.611 perceptions to be found an acceptable value of reliability. Overall, the developed KAP2 questionnaire is a valid and reliable questionnaire that can serve as an evaluation tool for measuring knowledge, attitudes, practice and perception in the prevention of food poisoning during dining out among consumers.

Antibiotics self-medication among medical students in a new medical college at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi, Nigeria

et al. 2020

Life as a medical student is often full of stress which could be physical, social, emotional and economical, especially in developing countries. Of recent, there has been an increased effort to combat self-medication which has remained a global public health burden since antiquity. Trainee health workers are particularly vulnerable to engage in self-medication practice which has remain a great panacea mitigating the efforts to combat resistance to common antibiotics in communities. This study aims to assess antibiotics self-medication among undergraduate medical students in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi Nigeria. An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted at college of medical sciences Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi between June and July 2018. First and second year registered undergraduate medical students were specifically enrolled in the study. A sample size of 61 participants was determined by using a single population proportion formula and a close ended 25 items self-administered study tool was developed and piloted following a review of the relevant literature. All responses were analyzed using SPSS Version 21 and STATA Version 13 software for statistical analysis. A total of Eighty-one (81) medical Students were enrolled in the study. There were 39 (48.1%) males and 42 (51.9%) females. The median age among all respondents was 20 years. 41% of all the students reported having selfmedication. (22) 27.2% of the respondent’s reasons for self-medication was “Doctors gives same drug”, for (20) 24.7% “the disease was mild”, while (16) 19.7% “knew the drug to take”, while (9) 11.1% “saves time” in self-medication and (2) 2.5% said it “saved cost”. On logistic regression, gender remains the statistically significant explanatory variable, Wald Chi-square test 6.050 odds ratio 2.019 (P-value: 0.0014). The prevalence of SM among medical students is high in among Medical Students in ATBU Bauchi Nigeria. Targeted campaign programs to decrease SM among medical students in North East Nigeria as a whole, are required. Enforcement of laws and policies on un-prescribed drugs and continuous monitoring of dispensaries/drugstores and other outlets to issue drugs only on prescription are necessary to reduce self-medication.

“…The overall Cronbach's alpha for the MQ was .76. According to Montshiwa and Moroke (2014), an alpha level of .70 or higher is considered acceptable. This implied that the MQ was consistent and reliable.…”

“…The factor analysis was computed on all the participant responses to the 12 MQ items. According to Montshiwa and Moroke (2014), a factor loading exceeding 0.3 for a sample size n=300 is considered significant and one can assume a strong relationship between the item and the corresponding factor. Table 2 shows the Cronbach alpha coefficients for the two factors and the corresponding factor loadings for all items.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this study is to investigate student motivation and gender differences in learning Spanish as a foreign language in the Malaysian context. Method-Student motivation was measured by means of a self-report questionnaire based on Gardner's social psychological model. The questionnaire contained both close-ended and open-ended questions to provide both quantitative and qualitative information. The participants consisted of 448 students from Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Spanish Institute where Spanish is a compulsory subject. Findings-The findings showed that the students were highly motivated toward learning Spanish. No significant differences were found between integrative and instrumental motivations and gender. Nonetheless, both quantitative and qualitative results suggested that the students were slightly more instrumentally inclined but simultaneously appreciated the target language and culture. This was particularly the case for the female students who showed significantly higher instrumental motivation in Spanish learning.
