“…The survey questions should provide reproducible results (reliability test) and be assessed in three major forms of reliability: test-retest; alternate form; and internal consistency [ 99 ]. An Rs of value 0.70 or greater is generally accepted and indicates good reliability [ 100 ].…”

Background Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease of humans worldwide, including southeast Asia region. This review provides a comprehensive overview of questionnaire-related dengue studies conducted in the Philippines and evaluates their reliability and validity in these surveys. Methods A review protocol constructed by a panel of experienced academic reviewers was used to formulate the methodology, research design, search strategy and selection criteria. An extensive literature search was conducted between March–June 2020 in various major electronic biomedical databases including PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE and ScienceDirect. A systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) were selected as the preferred item reporting method. Results Out of a total of 34 peer-reviewed dengue-related KAP studies that were identified, 15 published from 2000 to April 2020 met the inclusion criteria. Based on the meta-analysis, a poor mean score was obtained for each of knowledge (68.89), attitude (49.86) and preventive practice (64.69). Most respondents were equipped with a good knowledge of the major clinical signs of dengue. Worryingly, 95% of respondents showed several negative attitudes towards dengue prevention, claiming that this was not possible and that enacting preventive practices was not their responsibility. Interestingly, television or radio was claimed as the main source of gaining dengue information (range 50–95%). Lastly, only five articles (33.3%) piloted or pretested their questionnaire before surveying, of which three reported Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (range 0.70 to 0.90). Conclusion This review indicates that to combat the growing public health threat of dengue to the Philippines, we need the active participation of resident communities, full engagement of healthcare personnel, promotion of awareness campaigns, and access to safe complementary and alternative medicines. Importantly, the psychometric properties of each questionnaire should be assessed rigorously.

“…r Values are equal to or greater than 0.70 indicate a strong correlation. It is stated that the ideal time for test–retest application is 2–4 weeks 40 . Therefore, we applied the test–retest applied to 17 pregnant women 2 weeks later and found a strong correlation.…”

Purpose This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Body Understanding Measure for Pregnancy scale by adapting it to Turkish society. Design and Methods This methodological study was conducted with 265 pregnant women. Findings We performed exploratory factor analysis and determined that the scale consists of 17 items and 2 subdimensions. The two‐factor structure was confirmed as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.87. Practise Implications The Body Understanding Measure for Pregnancy scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for measuring the body satisfaction of pregnant women for Turkish society.

“…Reliability and stability refer to whether a measurement is reproducible and whether the same result will be obtained when the measurement is repeated [ 26 ]. The reliability of a given tool is crucial for it to be valuable and applicable in research and clinical practice [ 36 ]. Although reliability assessment was initially introduced in psychometrics, it is equally crucial for all other measures and scientific fields.…”

“…For inter-rater reliability assessment purposes, each random sample of n targets is rated independently by k judges [ 32 ]. Inter-rater reliability is also known as interobserver reliability or between-observer consistency, as it determines the agreement between different raters assessing the same targets [ 36 ]. In other words, this type of reliability refers to whether the specific measure performed using the same tool and according to the same methodology on the same patient will produce the same results regardless of which clinician conducts the measurement.…”

A large space still exists for improving the measurements used in orthopaedics and sports medicine, especially as we face rapid technological progress in devices used for diagnostic or patient monitoring purposes. For a specific measure to be valuable and applicable in clinical practice, its reliability must be established. Reliability refers to the extent to which measurements can be replicated, and three types of reliability can be distinguished: inter-rater, intra-rater, and test–retest. The present article aims to provide insights into reliability as one of the most important and relevant properties of measurement tools. It covers essential knowledge about the methods used in orthopaedics and sports medicine for reliability studies. From design to interpretation, this article guides readers through the reliability study process. It addresses crucial issues such as the number of raters needed, sample size calculation, and breaks between particular trials. Different statistical methods and tests are presented for determining reliability depending on the type of gathered data, with particular attention to the commonly used intraclass correlation coefficient.
