VALIDATION AND RELIABILITY OF AN INSTRUMENT TO ASSESS NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND PRACTICES IN EXPOSED WORKERS
Main Article Content
Keywords
noise-induced hearing loss, knowledge, attitudes, practice
Abstract
A quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of an instrument that assesses the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of workers exposed to noise-induced hearing loss. The study was conducted in three phases: a systematic review of the scientific literature, construction of the instrument, validity, and reliability. The systematic review using the PRISMA methodology included 19 articles that supported the construction of the theoretical construct for the elaboration of the items of the instrument constituted in its post-validation version by 36 items in the dimensions of knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The statistical program Microsoft Excel 19.0 was used to validate the instrument, and the R Core Team Statistical Program, R-Studio, version 4.2.1, and a single coding based on SPSS Version 24 were used to calibrate the instrument. Content validity by expert judges obtained an overall CVI 0.77 (CVI knowledge 0.91, attitudes 0.89, practices 0.91) and statistical reliability by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient showed overall internal consistency 0.77 (knowledge 0.82, attitudes 0.80, practices 0.70). The validity and reliability results indicate that the instrument is acceptable, according to the objectives and scope of this research.
