Increased age experienced by each person will end with the elderly age group, which is vulnerable to various activities due to physiological function decrease occurred. On the other hand, the elderly need to stay alive. Instead of socio-psychological aspects, muscular function, cardiovascular and balance, and mobility aspects are important factors that support our body's work. The assessment in this study uses the questionnaire of "Appropriate Movement for the Elderly" distributed to personal trainers or instructors for the elderly. The results of the validity test can be concluded that G4 (Press the arm in front of the chest) with r count = 0.176 <0.666; G12 (Hyper-extension) with r count = 0.176 <0.666; G14 (Ankle to left and right chest) with a value of r count = -0.78 <0.666; G15 (Russian paver) with a calculated value of r = -0.78 <0.666; G18 (Turn the arm clockwise) with a value of r count = 0.176; G36 (Cow Cat Attitude) with r count = - 0.14; G42 (Raise the sumo calf on the wall) with a calculated r-value = 0.176 <0.666. Whilst, reliability test with Cronbach's Alpha value calculation was obtained at 0.734> 0.60, which shows various types of movements are reliable or consistent. It can be concluded that the questionnaire about screening exercises that are suitable for the elderly prove is consistent for all questions and valid for 40 movements, while 7 other movements (pressing the arm in front of the chest, Hyper-extension, Knee wrists to the left and right chest, Russian paw, Turn the arm in the direction of the needle clock, Cow Cat Attitude, and Raise sumo, raise calf on the wall) were invalid or not suitable for physical activities in the elderly. Uji validitas dan reliabilitas kuesioner skrining gerakan latihan yang sesuai dengan lansia AbstrakPertambahan usia yang dialami oleh setiap orang akan berujung pada kelompok usia lansia, dimana rentan terhadap berbagai aktivitas karena adanya penurunan fungsi fisiologis yang terjadi. Di sisi lain, kebutuhan lansia untuk tetap dapat bertahan hidup harus dimiliki. Selain adanya aspek sosio-psikologis, aspek kemampuan otot, kardiovaskular dan keseimbangan serta mobilitas menjadi faktor penting untuk menunjang kerja tubuh. Pengukuran pada studi ini menggunakan kuesioner “Skrining Gerakan yang Cocok untuk Lansia” yang disebar kepada para personal trainer atau instruktur lansia. Diperoleh hasil uji validitas yang menyimpulkan bahwa G4 (Tekan lengan didepan dada) dengan r hitung = 0,176 < 0,666; G12 (Hiperektansi) dengan r hitung = 0,176 < 0,666; G14 (Pergelangan lutut ke dada kiri dan kanan) dengan nilati r hitung = -0,78 < 0,666; G15 (Puntir Rusia) dengan nilai r hitung = -0,78 < 0,666; G18 (Putar lengan searah jarum jam) dengan nilai r hitung = 0,176; G36 (Sikap Kucing Sapi) dengan nilai r hitung = - 0,14; G42 (Angkat sumo dan angkat betis di tembok) dengan nilai r hitung = 0,176 < 0,666. Sementara dalam uji reliabilitas diperoleh angka perhitungan nilai Cronbach’s Alpha 0.734 > 0.60, menunjukkan bahwa berbagai macam jenis gerakan yang ada termasuk reliabel atau konsisten. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kuesioner mengenai skrining gerakan latihan yang sesuai dengan lansia terbukti konsisten dalam pemberian pertanyaan dan valid sebanyak 40 gerakan, sedangkan 7 gerakan lainnya (Tekan lengan didepan dada, Hiperektansi, Pergelangan lutut ke dada kiri dan kanan, Puntir Rusia, Putar lengan searah jarum jam, Sikap Kucing Sapi, dan Angkat sumo angkat betis di tembok) tidak valid atau tidak cocok untuk dilakukan oleh lansia saat beraktivitas fisik.

Adaptation of a psychological instrument is essential due to cultural difference and context. This study aimed to adapt the Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6) in an Indonesian context. The initial steps included back-to-back translation, focus group discussion, expert judgements, and pilot study. From this procedure, five additional items were added to the original GC-6. The eleven final items were tested to 404 undergraduate students aged 18-24 years-old from several universities in Jakarta. The reliability test, the internal consistency, was examined by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, while the validity test, construct validity, was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA).  The result of analysis showed good validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.789). This study concluded that 11-item gratitude questionnaire consistently measured gratitude in adolescents based on two factors: appreciation to the constant  experience of life and appreciation towards individuals that take part in one’s life.

Abstract Students’ conception affects students’ understanding, achievement, and how they relate the concept to others in science. The aim of this study is to develop a four-tier test to diagnose students’ conception on light and optic topics. It is a multiple choice question consisting of the main question, certainty index for the answer, reason, and certainty index for the reason. Light and optic topic is chosen because it is very close to students daily life and is an essential topic at school. This study involves 114 students of grade 10. The instrument was developed from a list of indicators. Once the instrument was constructed, it was tested and analysed using SPSS. The instrument undergoes two stages of validity and reliability test. The first test showed there are 13 out of 19 questions that are valid and reliable with 0.740 Cronbach’s Alpha. The remaining 6 questions were then revised and retested to 21 students of grade 10. The result showed the 6 questions are valid and reliable with 0.829 cronbach’s alpha. Students has medium level misconceptions and they have more scientific knowledge than misconception. In conclussion, 19 questions that are feasible to diagnose students’ conception on light and optic topic.

Integrated Health Post for the elderly (Posbindu) has been carried out to improve the health status of the elderly, but Posbindu’s utilization is still unsatisfactory. Satisfaction of the elderly towards the health care provided at the Posbindu contributed to their adherence. So far there is no instrument to measure the level of elderly satisfaction. The objectives of the study were to develop and assess the validity and reliability of the elderly satisfaction towards the integrated health post questionnaire using Rasch modeling. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 202 elderly from 16 Posbindu in Bandung, Indonesia. This study was performed from August to December 2019. The questionnaire was developed from a qualitative study, consisted of 36 items that covered the satisfaction concepts of structure, process, and output. Nine analytic tests were carried out, namely, the person fit order, person reliability, Cronbach's alpha, item reliability, item fit order, separation, the Wright map analysis, rating scale, and the differential item functioning as implemented by the Winstep version 3.73 software. Overall, the questionnaire demonstrated promising results. The overall value of person reliability was 0.93 with Cronbach's alpha of 0.96 and the value of item reliability was 0.94. However, 3 items were misfits and should be considered to be revised or removed. Further studies involving various regions in Indonesia should be carried out before this questionnaire is used in Indonesia

Simple Definition

The Psychology of Religion has had a tradition measuring things that are seemingly difficult to measure, such as one’s level of religiosity or spirituality – concepts that are polysemantic, so do not have a simple definition. In doing so, researchers have developed scales to measure such constructs. This trend in Psychology of Religion research will continue as researchers start to conduct studies in non-Western Educated Industrialized Rich Democratic (WEIRD) populations, as they will require new scales that are appropriate for the way that these populations conceptualize religiosity and spirituality. Scale construction takes multiple steps, which most researchers are well-acquainted with. One important step is to demonstrate both validity and reliability. In the Psychology of Religion, an overwhelming majority of researchers use Cronbach’s alpha to estimate scale reliability. However, alpha has multiple preconditions that can easily be violated in psychology research that are rarely tested for, let alone adjusted for. Much like with using parametric statistical analyses when parametric assumptions are violated, this approach may be leading to inaccurate reporting. This article will discuss; (1) whether alpha should be used at all in Psychology of Religion research and, if so, when it is appropriate; (2) introduce another estimate of scale reliability, Omega, and show how and it might be calculated; (3) provide examples of how these techniques might be taught to students studying Psychology of Religion at undergraduate and higher levels. In doing so, I hope to move the entire field of Psychology of Religion forward in terms of methodological rigor.

Background Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a widely accepted scientific advancement in clinical settings that helps achieve better, safer, and more cost-effective healthcare. However, presently, validated instruments to evaluate healthcare professionals’ attitude and practices toward implementing EBM are not widely available. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of a newly developed knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) questionnaire on EBM for use among healthcare professionals. Methods The Noor Evidence-Based Medicine Questionnaire was tested among physicians in a government hospital between July and August 2018. Exploratory factor analysis and internal consistency reliability-based Cronbach’s alpha statistic were conducted. Results The questionnaire was distributed among 94 physicians, and 90 responded (response rate of 95.7%). The initial number of items in the KAP domains of the Noor Evidence-Based Medicine Questionnaire were 15, 17, and 13, respectively; however, two items in the practice domain with communalities <0.25 and factor loadings <0.4 were removed. The factor structure accounted for 52.33%, 66.29%, and 55.39% of data variance in the KAP domains, respectively. Cronbach’s alpha values were 0.81, 0.81, and 0.84 for KAP domains, respectively, indicating high reliability. Conclusions This questionnaire can be used to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour of healthcare professionals toward EBM. Future testing of this questionnaire among other medical personnel groups will help expand the scope of this tool.

Heart Failure Questionnaire

The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) has been developed to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) status of Heart Failure (HF) patients. The aim of this study was to translate MLHFQ into the Persian version and assess the validity and reliability of the translated version. We used a forward-backward procedure for translation. In a cross-sectional study, 105 HF patients and 50 healthy subjects were selected to assess the reliability and construct validity of the instrument. The face and content validity were used to assess the questionnaire validity. Validity was examined on the HF patients group, using the Persian version of the Short form-36 health survey (SF-36) Questionnaire. In order to assess the questionnaire’s reliability, the Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha were calculated. Test-retest reliability was examined by re-administering the MLHFQ after 2 weeks. Test-retest results demonstrated that the Persian version has excellent reliability (ICC for all 2 domains were higher than 0.91, P≤0.000). Internal consistency for Physical domain (PD), emotional domain (ED) and total scores using Cronbach’s alpha were 0.90, 0.84 and 0.92, respectively. ICC for PD, ED and total scores were 0.95, 0.94, and 0.97, respectively. Good and very good Pearson's Correlation Coefficient was seen between MLHFQ and SF-36 (r= -0.47 to -0.775, P≤0.000 for PD; r= -0.47 to -0.65, P≤0.000 for ED). The Persian version of the MLHFQ had satisfactory reliability and validity for assessing HRQoL status of Iranian HF patients. © 2019 Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.
