Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the role of cultural beliefs on weaning. Therefore, the obtained results can be used for health policymakers who design strategies to prevent physical and mental damage to mothers and their children. The main objective of this study was to design a questionnaire probing the role of cultural beliefs on weaning. Materials and Methods: The sequential combination exploratory mixed methods design was used to develop the questionnaire format in two sections. The qualitative section was designed to probe the role of cultural beliefs on weaning, which included a literature and related tools review and fieldwork (semi-structured interviews with mothers). Twenty-two studies were examined in the literature review and 14 mothers were selected and interviewed by a purposive sampling technique. The interviews continued up to data saturation as well. In addition, data analyses for both steps were conducted using conventional and textual content analyses. The quantitative section was a methodology study that was accomplished in two parts. Questionnaire items were formed using the data and item pool obtained from the first part. Finally, the psychometric properties of the questionnaire were checked using face, content, and construct validity, followed by probing reliability using Cronbach’s alpha reliability in the second part. Results: Qualitative data analysis results were organized according to the foundational issues regarding the need for weaning, attitude toward weaning, awareness about weaning, society’s culture, health literacy, self-action, others’ experiences, professional help, family members’ support, and the outcomes. The item pool was formed using literature reviews and interviews. A 49-item questionnaire was developed after the completion of the psychometric process. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Index of Sampling Adequacy and Bartlett’s test of sphericity showed good results in this regard. Five components from the exploratory content analysis encompassing contexts, solutions, searching for help, maternal outcomes, and child-related outcomes demonstrated a 62.112% variance. Further, the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.88 and the interclass correlation coefficient was 0.89 based on responses to the items over two administrations of the questionnaire (P < 0.001). Thus, these results showed a high level of tool stability. Conclusions: For this study, a questionnaire was developed for understanding the role of cultural beliefs on weaning. It can be used for educational, research, and treatment purposes as a tool with appropriate validity and reliability, as well as short, easy, and grammatically simple items. Eventually, the questionnaire is useful for examining mothers’ false beliefs about weaning and their educational needs since false beliefs could cause destructive and health-threatening behaviors.

This study develops a scale that assesses the self-efficacy of Sri Lankan nursing educators in assuming the roles of nursing educators and validates its psychometric properties. This methodological research followed the DeVellis Scale Development Model, which involves six steps of instrument development and evaluation. Preliminary items were determined through a literature review and focus group interviews with nine Sri Lankan nursing experts. The experts, comprising five South Korean and two Sri Lankan nursing professors, tested the scale’s content validity. Moreover, 15 nursing educators participated in a pilot study, and 126 educators took part in the main survey. To evaluate the scale’s validity and reliability, the data from a preliminary questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS/IBM and AMOS 24.0. Further, construct validity was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and reliability was tested by calculating Cronbach’s alpha and performing split-half testing. Finally, 39 items under four themes, “clinical mentorship” (18 items), “research” (10), “teaching” (6), and “advising” (5), explained 63.5% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis results revealed an acceptable model fit for the final scale. The developed scale achieved a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.97. Thus, the psychometrical properties of the scale measuring Sri Lankan nursing educators’ self-efficacy were comprehensively evaluated and found acceptable. The developed scale will be useful in guideline development or studies regarding the self-efficacy of nursing educators’ roles in developing countries with similar context to Sri Lanka.

The research design used was correlation analysis with cross sectional data collection. The population was all leprosy patients in the outpatient installation of the Daha Husada General Hospital with a total sample of 50 respondents who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Measurement of disability is developed from the standard provisions of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Stigma measurement uses the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illnes Scale (ISMI) which was developed by The International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations (ILEP) in 2011. Meanwhile, the Self-Concept instrument is developed from indicators according to theory. The analysis used was logistic regression starting with the examination of the variables and the results were p value = 0.40 for disability and p value = 0.49 for stigma. It can be interpreted that disability gives potential 5,652 times and stigma gives potential 6,205 times for self-concept

Abstract Background: Professional identity is a vital component of medical education that affects the future practice of medical students. There is a notice of the lack of a reliable and valid Persian scale to measure the students' readiness for professional identity.Objective: This present study aims to determine whether or not the PSIQ can be adapted for Persian healthcare professions.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among medical students (years of 4-7) in Shiraz medical school. A total of 175 students completed the Persian version of PSIQ using convenience sampling. Categorical confirmatory factor analysis (CCFA) and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used to investigate the questionnaire's validity and reliability. Moreover, R.3.6.2 software, by using the lavaan and semPlot packages in it, was used for data analysis and the path diagram.Results: The indices of the goodness of fit of the model were used for the professional self-identity, which including root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), Tuker-Lewise index (TLI), and comparative fit index (CFI) ( RMSEA=0.055, CFI=0.996, and TLI=0.994). The Cronbach's alpha coefficients for these three factors of "profession-specific tasks," "generic attributes," and "inter-personal tasks" subscales were 0.762, 0.622, and 0.747, respectively (p-value<0.05). The internal consistency of the whole questionnaire measured by Cronbach's alpha was 0.873. The set of these fit statistics show that the hypothesized three-factor model fits the sample data. Therefore, all nine items were significantly loaded on the three domains (Profession specific tasks, Generic attributes, Interpersonal tasks). Conclusion: The Persian translated version of the PSIQ may be an appropriate, valid and reliable tool for assessing medical students' health professional self-identity attitudes in Iran.
