In the COVID-19 pandemic, medical handling can cause ethical problems related to the availability of doctors, limited hospital facilities, diagnostic test problems, personal protective equipment, lack of public understanding, and a lack of public awareness in preventing and reducing the risk of contracting COVID-19. Research is needed relating to these ethical issues by involving doctors as research subjects. In every study, a valid instrument is required to answer the research problem. One of the methods of instrument validity is content validity. Content validity is essential evidence to support the validity of a measuring tool such as a questionnaire for research. This research instrument aimed to determine the ability of doctors to identify four basic ethical principles and their attitudes towards handling COVID-19. In a study of medical ethics in managing the COVID-19 pandemic, a content validity test was carried out by involving 9 experts consisting of 5 bioethicists and 4 COVID-19 experts. The validity of the contents was carried out on 36 points of statements related to ethical issues that arose in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the validation of the 36 statement items obtained an initial CVI of 0.646, but 7 items were eliminated because the CVR was too far from the critical value. After elimination, there were 29 statement items used as a research instrument with a CVI of 0.738. The average value of the agreement between the raters on the statement items was 0.78. The average value of the proportion of the relevance of the statement items was 0.83 (recommendation value 0.90). In the reliability test using the Cronbach’s alpha method, the value of the reliability coefficient was 0.732 (0.70>ri>0.90), it can be stated that the content validity of the questionnaire is valid and reliable for this research instrument. Keywords: content validity, COVID-19, medical ethics, research instrument.

Abstract Background Palliative care is recognised as a public health issue with the need for earlier integration in the wider healthcare system. However, research indicates that it continues to be accessed late in the course of an illness, public understanding of palliative care is limited, and common misconceptions prevail. Strategies to address this are needed in order to reduce barriers to palliative care delivery and improve access. Methods An explanatory sequential mixed methods study, comprising a cross-sectional survey and interviews was undertaken. Sociodemographic characteristics, public awareness, knowledge and perceptions of palliative care were examined and strategies to raise awareness and overcome barriers within a public health framework were identified. Survey data were analysed using SPSS v25 with factor analysis and non-parametric statistics and qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results A total of 1201 participants completed the survey (58.3% female, mean age 61 years) and 25 took part in interviews. A fifth of participants (20.1%) had previously heard about palliative care and had an accurate understanding of the term. Being female, higher educated, married, and older, increased respondents’ levels of awareness. The three most commonly held misconceptions included: Palliative care is exclusively for people who are in the last 6 months of life (55.4% answered incorrectly); A goal of palliative care is to address any psychological issues brought up by serious illness (42.2% answered incorrectly); and a goal of palliative care is to improve a person’s ability to participate in daily activities (39.6% answered incorrectly). Talking about palliative and end of life care was advocated but societal taboos restricted this occurring with exposure limited to personal experience. Conclusions Current knowledge gaps and misconceptions derived from limited ad hoc personal experiences and fear of engaging in taboo conversations may deter people from accessing integrated palliative care services early in a disease trajectory. The results indicate the need for public education programmes that move beyond merely raising awareness but provide key messages within a public health approach, which may change attitudes to palliative care thus ultimately improving end of life outcomes.

The theme of global sustainable development has changed from environmental management to climate governance, and relevant policies on climate governance urgently need to be implemented by the public. The public understanding of climate change has become the prerequisite and basis for implementing various climate change policies. In order to explore the affected factors of climate change perception among Chinese residents, this study was conducted across 31 provinces and regions of China through field household surveys and interviews. Combined with the residents’ perception of climate change with the possible affected factors, the related factors affecting Chinese residents’ perception of climate change were explored. The results show that the perceptive level of climate change of Chinese residents is related to the education level and the household size of residents. Improving public awareness of climate change risk in the context of climate change through multiple channels will also help to improve residents’ awareness of climate change. On the premise of improving the level of national education, improving education on climate change in school education and raising awareness of climate change risk among dependents will help to improve the level of Chinese residents’ awareness of climate change, which could be instrumental in promoting public participation in climate change mitigation and adaptation actions.
