Tuberculosis persists in the national epidemiologic scenery; 289 cases of tuberculosis in healthcare workers were notified in 2022; this disease in sanitary workers is related to low levels of knowledge, deficient self-care measures, and low health attention quality. This study’s objective was to validate an instrument for the evaluation of knowledge, attitudes, and practices about tuberculosis in healthcare workers. Methodology. Methodology study. Five experts validated the content, the face validation with 32 healthcare workers (HW), and construct validation with 140 HW. The inclusion and exclusion criteria depend on the validation phase. Data was processed in SPSS. Results. The instrument comprises three dimensions: knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and 43 items. The content validation procedure revealed a global content validation index of 0.96. The face validation demonstrated the understandability of the items in 84%. The exploratory factorial analysis ratified the conformation of the three dimensions with a sampling adequacy measure of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (0.741). Finally, the instrument reached an Alpha of Cronbach global of 0.72. Discussion. In Colombia, no validated and reliable instruments that evaluated this topic were identified. Different investigations in the world have indicated the utility and effectiveness of this type of tool. Conclusions. The instrument “evaluated” in workers showed content, construct, and face validity to measure knowledge, attitudes, and practices about tuberculosis in healthcare workers. 2023 artículo científico 0123-7047 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=71979263007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71979263007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71979263007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71979263007/71979263007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71979263007/movil https://doi.org/10.29375/01237047.4505 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=719 MedUNAB application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga MedUNAB (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.26 |
