Abstract

BACKGROUND: Due to the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) outbreak on the continuation, schedule, and efficiency of radiation therapy, this study aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of the COVID‑19 Safety Measures (CSM) questionnaire at the radiation therapy center. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this analytical cross‑sectional study, which all personnel of the radiation therapy center (20 people) participated, the validity and reliability of the 16‑item CSM questionnaire were investigated. Cultural adaptation, face validity, content validity, test‑retest reliability, and internal consistency were evaluated. For face and content validity, impact score, content validity ratio, and content validity index (CVR and CVI) were calculated, respectively. Also, internal consistency and stability reliability were calculated with Kuder–Richardson (KR20) alpha and Pearson correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation (ICC), respectively. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 24 with a significant level of 5%. RESULTS: Out of 20 employees, 70% (14 people) were female, 75% (15 people) were married and the mean age (SD) was 32.4 (6.35) years. Scale‑based Kuder–Richardson alpha, S‑CVI, ICC, and confidence interval were 0.79, 0.97, 0.68, and 0.38–0.89, respectively. CONCLUSION: The validity and reliability of the 16‑item CSM questionnaire were confirmed. Therefore, the application of this scale is recommended. © 2024 Journal of Education and Health Promotion.
