Design and Validation of a Questionnaire to Measure the Attitudes of Health Professionals Towards Immigrants (AHPI) - DATASET and CODEBOOK

The aim of the article is to describe the validation process of a research tool used to measure the intensity and direction of medical personnel's attitudes towards immigrant patients. An instrument validation design with a cross-sectional survey was conducted. The validation process was carried out in two phases. In phase 1, the content validity of the tool was analyzed. The competent judges method was used. The reliability of the judges was verified in terms of the consistency of evaluations (the I-CVI index was calculated). In phase 2, the questionnaire was tested among 340 healthcare professionals who have professional contact with immigrants, in terms of its factorial validity (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis) and internal consistency (reliability measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient) and absolute stability (measured by the test-retest method).

本研究旨在阐述一款用于测量医护人员对移民患者态度的强度与方向的研究工具的验证流程。本研究采用横断面调查的工具验证设计方案，整个验证流程分为两个阶段实施：第一阶段，对该工具的内容效度进行分析，采用专家评定法，通过评估一致性验证专家评定的信度，并计算内容效度指数I-CVI；第二阶段，向340名与移民患者存在职业接触的医护人员施测该问卷，分别从结构效度（采用探索性因子分析与验证性因子分析）、内部一致性（以克朗巴赫α系数衡量信度）以及绝对稳定性（采用重测法进行测量）三个维度开展测试。
