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).
