Designing and validation of a workplace abuse questionnaire among child labour

Abstract

Despite the efforts of formal and informal institutions to manage child labour, current policies have not led to the realization of goals in this area. This study aimed to design and validate a workplace abuse questionnaire among the child labourers (WAQCL). The sample for the study was 250 Iranian child labourers, living in Tehran. The WAQCL investigated four factors (neglect, psychological, physical and sexual abuse) and consisted of 23 items. The questionnaire was found to have good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha ≥0.8) and good content validity (0.932). The instrument can help to assess workplace abuse in health care practice.

Design and validation of a preliminary instrument to contextualize interactions through information technologies of health professionals

“…45 Thus, Cronbach's alpha minor or equal to 0.4 reveals weak reliability, from 0.41-0.59 regular, 0.60 -0.74 good, and equal or higher than o.75 means excellent reliability. 46 The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test was employed to measure the adequacy of the data 47 cited in 48 to validate the construction of the questionnaire. The results indicate different results with the following guidelines: 0.00 -0.49, there is no factor, 0.50 -0.59 is Miserable, from 0.60 -0.69 is Mediocre, from 0.70 -0.79 is Regular, from 0.80 -0.89 is Meritorious, and finally from 0.90 -1.00 is Excelent 49,50 referred to in.…”
