“…This study provides a novel validated tool that can be used to explore aspects of hospital pandemic preparedness, such as knowledge, skills, and mental wellbeing from the perspectives of HCWs themselves. The undertaken validation of the SQIDORP in this study demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity estimates, and suggested factors that are consistent with available literature [ 47 , 48 ]. The purpose of developing and validating the SQIDORP was to produce a tool that would enable organizations to objectively assess their pandemic plans from the perspectives of the HCWs, thereby eliminating assumptions.…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has inundated the capacity of hospitals across the globe, exhausting resources, and placing extreme burden on health care workers (HCWs). Hospital preparedness during infectious disease outbreak involves development and implementation of appropriate strategies, procedures, and adequate training for HCWs. Reliable and valid tools to evaluate the perception of HCWs on the effectiveness of hospital preparedness strategies are imperative and literature is yet to fill that gap. Methods Items for ‘The Staff Questionnaire for Infectious Disease Outbreak Readiness and Preparedness (SQIDORP)’ were selected from literature that addressed hospital preparedness during novel pandemic outbreaks. The SQIDORP was distributed within a regional hospital in Victoria, Australia. Psychometric evaluation included estimates of reliability and factor analysis while factors associated with the questionnaire were explored using regression analysis. Results Omega coefficient of 0.89, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.88 and item-total correlations (> 0.3) indicated adequate reliability of the SQIDORP. Factor Analysis yielded three meaningful latent factors that are effectiveness of training (Factor 1), self-confidence (Factor 2) and risk to self and stress (Factor 3). Demographic factors did not influence the correlation with SQIDORP. However, rating ‘the current plan for management of COVID-19 in your ward’ and ‘personal knowledge/skills in caring for patients with COVID-19’ had significant positive correlation and accounted for 33% of the variance in readiness and preparedness using SQIDORP (R2 = 0.33, F = 10.227, P < 0.001). Conclusion Most of the items of SQIDORP questionnaire achieved adequate internal consistence reliability. This is a valuable tool that can be utilized by hospitals to explore aspects of preparedness and give insights to the knowledge, skills, and mental health of HCWs, as perceived by the HCW themselves.

“…The scores on the BRS showed that 74.3% of our population had medium to high resilience capacity, where 70.15% possess medium resilience capacity. Behavioural and psychological interventions such as lifestyle modification to improve sleep quality, as well as physical exercise, can significantly aid individuals in returning to their normal or pre-COVID-19 routine and mental states [24][25][26][27][28].…”

“…This is a mixed-method study conducted in two phases: (i) development of the questionnaire and (ii) validation of developed questionnaire using standardized methodology. [ 9 10 ] The first phase focuses on developing the questionnaire by generating items from literature review and focus group discussions with experts and the target population. In the second phase, the validity and reliability of the developed questionnaire were established using four steps in a sequential manner: expert evaluation to determine content validity, cognitive interviewing to establish face validity, factor analysis to evaluate construct validity, and internal consistency to evaluate reliability.…”

Objective: To develop and validate a comprehensive questionnaire to evaluate risk factors, perceptions, and practices for weight management in women at menopausal transition and early menopause stage. Methodology: A mixed-method study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the questionnaire was developed by literature review and focused group discussions with the target population and experts. In the second phase, content and face validity were established by expert evaluation and cognitive interviews with the target population. The developed questionnaire was crosssectionally administered in 215 women and responses were used to determine the construct validity by factor analysis and reliability by evaluating internal consistency. Results: The finalized questionnaire consisted of two sections; section A included sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measures, and menopausal status with symptom severity, while section B contained 32-items focusing on readiness to initiate weight loss, perceptions and practices related to lifestyle behaviors, built environment, and social support. The Cronbach's α value of the questionnaire is 0.79 with good internal consistency. Conclusion: The developed questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to assess weight-related risk factors, perceptions, and practices in middle-aged women, which can potentially be used by doctors and other healthcare practitioners to customize weight management advice in women at menopausal transition and early menopause.
