This objective of this work is to develop and validate a questionnaire to evaluate health professionals' experience with telemedicine systems.
Based on an abbreviated, locally validated Spanish-language version of the patient questionnaire developed by Parmanto et al., a group of experts developed a version to evaluate the experience of health professionals who provide telemedicine services. The psychometric behavior of the items was tested in an initial sample of 129 professionals, using exploratory factor analysis. The comprehensibility of the items was then assessed through cognitive interviews. Finally, in a new sample of 329 professionals, the construct validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by means of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA); its criteria of external validity were assessed by comparing the score with that of a summary question.
A 12-item questionnaire was obtained, with a two-factor structure and acceptable adjustment indicators documented through CFA. Reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity were appropriate. The criteria of external validity showed optimal results.
The instrument obtained has adequate psychometric properties and will contribute to the objective evaluation of the experience of health professionals who perform telemedicine.
本研究的目的是开发并验证一份问卷,以评估卫生专业人员使用远程医疗系统的经验。
基于Parmanto等人开发的患者问卷的简化版、经本地验证的西班牙语版本,一组专家开发了一个版本来评估提供远程医疗服务的卫生专业人员的经验。通过探索性因素分析,在129名专业人员的初始样本中测试了这些条目的心理测量行为。然后通过认知访谈评估这些条目的可理解性。最后,在329名专业人员的新样本中,通过验证性因素分析(CFA)评估问卷的结构效度;通过将分数与一个总结性问题的分数进行比较来评估其外部效度标准。
获得了一份包含12个条目的问卷,具有两因素结构和通过CFA记录的可接受的拟合指标。信度、收敛效度和区分效度均合适。外部效度标准显示出最佳结果。
所获得的工具具有足够的心理测量特性,将有助于对从事远程医疗的卫生专业人员的经验进行客观评估。
