Abstract:
Objective:To develop an assessment scale for measuring knowledge, attitude and practice of general practitioners in primary care towards diabetic microangiopathy.Methods:The knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) theory was used as a framework to draw up the initial item pool based on related literature and guidelines during March to October 2022. Two rounds of Delphi consultation were conducted among 15 experts from general medicine and related fields. The positive coefficient, authority coefficient and coordination coefficient of experts were calculated, and the threshold table of indexes was screened, and the final assessment scale of KAP was developed after the two rounds of consultation.Results:The developed primary care general practitioners′ KAP assessment scale for diabetic microangiopathy consists of 3 primary indexes and 52 secondary indexes(25 of knowledge scale, 13 of attitude scale, 14 of practice scale). The positive coefficient of experts was 100.0% and the authority coefficient of experts was 0.89 in both rounds of consultation; and the coordination coefficient of experts was 0.319 and 0.322 for the first and second consultations, respectively (both P<0.05). Conclusion:A KAP assessment scale of diabetic microangiopathy for primary care general practitioners has been developed in this study. The expert positive coefficient, authority coefficient and expert coordination coefficient meet the requirements, which provides reference for evaluating the management ability of diabetic microangiopathy of primary care general practitioners.
