Our study objective was to develop and validate a questionnaire assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of family physicians regarding dementia care and dementia strategies in Canada. Using a multistage process with a panel of experts, we developed and distributed an 83-item questionnaire to 542 eligible family physicians in 42 interdisciplinary primary care teams participating in the Quebec Alzheimer Plan implementation. Altogether, 369 physicians (68%) returned questionnaires. Median item-specific non-response rate was 0.8 per cent (0.3%-8.1%). Exploratory factor analyses and scale correlation supported the questionnaire validity. The final questionnaire contained five factors and 31 items. The KAP questionnaire has proved to be a reliable instrument for assessing the KAP of family physicians regarding dementia care and dementia strategies. This questionnaire provides researchers, clinicians, managers, and decision-makers with a tool to assess an intervention, a program, or a policy change implemented in primary health care for patients with dementia.
我们的研究目标是开发并验证一份问卷，以评估加拿大全科医生在痴呆症护理和痴呆症应对策略方面的知识、态度和实践（KAP）情况。我们通过一个由专家小组参与的多阶段流程，开发了一份包含83个条目的问卷，并将其分发给参与魁北克阿尔茨海默病计划实施的42个跨学科初级保健团队中的542名符合条件的全科医生。共有369名医生（68%）返还了问卷。各条目特定的中位数无应答率为0.8%（0.3%-8.1%）。探索性因素分析和量表相关性支持了问卷的有效性。最终问卷包含五个因素和31个条目。事实证明，这份KAP问卷是评估全科医生在痴呆症护理和痴呆症应对策略方面的KAP的可靠工具。该问卷为研究人员、临床医生、管理人员和决策者提供了一种工具，用于评估在初级卫生保健中针对痴呆症患者实施的一项干预措施、一个项目或一项政策变化。
