Kidney Health Awareness Scale in Adolescents: Theoretical Form Development Study

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to develop a theoretical form based on the Lawshe technique to evaluate the kidney health awareness levels of secondary school students in light of scientific and objective criteria. Material and Methods: A question pool with 26 statements was created by reviewing the literature, and expert opinion (n:6) was taken to create a draft form. As a result of the expert evaluation, it was determined that six statements did not serve the purpose of the form and were removed from the study. The draft trial form with 20 statements was again submitted to expert evaluation (n:11). For construct validity and reliability, content validity criterion (CVC), content validity ratios (CVR), content validity index (CVI), Fleiss Cohen Kappa coefficient and Kendall's W goodness of fit values were calculated. Results: The content validity ratio was calculated for each statement in the trial form, and it was determined that all items in the form except item 14 were above the lower limit of 0.64. The content validity index was calculated for 19 items by taking the arithmetic mean of the content validity ratios, and it was determined that it was 0.89. Results showed that the construct validity of the trial form was statistically significant, as the CVI value (0.89) was higher than the CVC value (0.64). For the reliability of the form, the inter-expert agreement was examined, the Fleiss Kappa coefficient was calculated, and a value of 0.652 was obtained. Conclusions: As a result, this scale, whose validity and reliability are statistically accepted, can be used safely on secondary school students.
