ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals about COVID-19 and to develop a valid and reliable scale that can measure these items about COVID-19 and other similar pandemic processes.Design:
Methodological scale study with a quantitative approach. Site Carried out at the Uludağ University Family Health Center in Bursa, Turkey.Participants:
415 individuals in the first phase and 367 in the retest phase.Interventions:
Carried out between March 1, 2021, and April 30, 2021. Main measurements Reliability and factor analyses were performed and validity was evaluated. In factor analysis, a scale with 4 factors and 30 questions was obtained. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to the factor scores of the scale. Factors were named A-General Culture, B-Mask, Distance and Cleanliness, C-Mental Status, and D-Way of Information. A 3-point Likert-type scoring system was created for the responses.Results:
Cronbach's alpha value was 0.894. In factor modeling, 3 of the confirmatory factor analysis fit indices were good and 4 of them were acceptable, so our model was found to be appropriate. The scale was highly reliable, according to internal and external consistency coefficients. The scale was named the Turkey COVID-19 Attitude Scale. p values<0.05 were considered statistically significant.Conclusions:
The valid and reliable Turkey COVID-19 Attitude Scale, which we developed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals about COVID-19, can be used to guide research during COVID-19 and future pandemics.(AU)RESUMEN

Estudio de escala metodológica con enfoque cuantitativo. Emplazamiento Centro de Salud Familiar de la Universidad de Uludağ, en Bursa, Turquía. Participantes 415 individuos en la primera fase y 367 en la fase de retest. Intervenciones Realizadas entre el 1 de marzo de 2021 y el 30 de abril de 2021. Mediciones principales Análisis de confiabilidad y factoriales para evaluar la validez. Se obtuvo una escala con cuatro factores y 30 preguntas. Se aplicó el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) a las puntuaciones de la escala. Los factores se denominaron A-Cultura general, B-Máscara, distancia y limpieza, C-Estado mental y D-Vía de información. Para las respuestas se creó un sistema de puntuación tipo Likert de tres puntos.Resultados:
El valor alfa de Cronbach fue de 0,894. Tres de los índices de ajuste del análisis factorial confirmatorio fueron buenos y cuatro de ellos aceptables, por lo que se consideró el modelo como apropiado. La escala resultó altamente confiable, según los coeficientes de consistencia interna y externa. Se denominó Escala de Actitud de Turquía COVID-19. Los valores de p < 0,05 se consideraron estadísticamente significativos.Conclusiones:
La Escala de Actitud de Turquía COVID-19 válida y confiable, desarrollada para evaluar el conocimiento, las actitudes y los comportamientos de las personas sobre COVID-19, se puede utilizar para guiar la investigación durante COVID-19 y futuras pandemias.(AU)
