Abstract:
Objective To develop the avian influenza Knowledge-Attitude-Practice ( KAP ) scale for community residents, and provide an objective evidence tool for community nursing. Methods The scale was based on the frame work of KAP theory and reference to the relevant literature and expert′s advice. A total of 454 community residents in Fuzhou were selected by convenient sampling and we analyzed the scale reliability and validity. Results The scale was composed of 3 domains and 46 items. The text-retest reliability of three domains were 0. 784, 0. 907 and 0. 881. The Cronbach α value for the overall scale was 0. 744 and the each domains was between 0. 678 and 0. 732. The content validity index (CVI) for the overall scale was 0. 78 and the each domain ranged from 0. 75 to 0. 84. Exploratory factor analysis revealed 17 common factors, which account for 59. 839% of the total variance. Conclusions The structure of the scale is in line with theory. The scale has good stability and reliability, therefore it can be used as a KAP scale of the avian influenza in community residents as survey tool.
