Abstract

Background: Good knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the PHYSICIANS allow them to handle their patients in such a way that they prevent themselves from contracting, and their patients from spreading, the infection. However, the Iranian standardized KAP questionnaire of PHYSICIANS about viral HEPATITIS is not available. So, we developed a standard questionnaire.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to provide a standard questionnaire as a basic tool for assessment of the present situation of the KAP of clinicians. It can also be used for evaluating educational programs and interventions on PHYSICIANS in addition to any trends in their KAP about viral HEPATITIS.Patients and Methods: In order to design and standardize a 29-item self-administered questionnaire, we developed a cross sectional pilot study on 60 Iranian PHYSICIANS. Ten experts in the field of liver diseases and/or designing the questionnaire answered questions about its validity. Cronbach’s Alpha (on 60 PHYSICIANS that participated in a congress) and factor analysis (on 370 persons; participants of two viral HEPATITIS congresses in Tehran and Zanjan and PHYSICIANS of two university hospitals in Ahvaz) were used in the analysis.Results: RELIABILITY was 0.7 according to Cronbach’s Alpha score. Face validity was higher than 80%. Content validity of the whole parts of the questionnaire was 96.25% for clarity, 91.56% for relevancy, 96.25% for simplicity and 98.44% for consistency of each question with the questions’ set. Factor analysis showed that 13 components account for 67.4% of the total variance.Conclusions: This study provided evidence that our questionnaire is a feasible, valid and reliable measure of PHYSICIANS’ KAP status in Iran. The factor analysis did not reveal a strong cluster structure. This questionnaire should be interpreted as a one-dimensional element by the sum of all items, rather than a multi-dimensional instrument.
