Abstract:
Survey studies have played a significant role in understanding the gaps in the knowledge and practices of health practitioners. However, there have been no such survey studies on Ocular Allergy (OA). Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop and validate a survey on OA to better understand the gaps in the diagnostic, treatment, and collaborative care approaches of health practitioners in OA. The survey is titled \"Survey on Ocular Allergy for Health Practitioners (SOAHP)\". SOAHP was developed in a five-stage process. First, item extraction via the use of a literature review, second, face and content validity, third, a pilot study, fourth, test-retest reliability, and fifth, finalisation of the survey. 65 items under 6 domains were initially generated in the item extraction phase. Content validity was conducted on 15 experts in the field. This was conducted twice to reach consensus whereby items and domains were added, edited, kept, or removed, resulting in 50 items under 7 domains. The pilot study was conducted on 15 participants from the five relevant health practitioner fields (Allergists/Immunologists, General Practitioners (GPs), Ophthalmologists, Optometrists and Pharmacists). This altered the survey further to 40 items under 7 domains. Test-retest reliability was conducted on 25 participants from the five health practitioner fields. Reliability was moderate to almost perfect for most (97%) investigated items. The finalised survey was 40 items under 7 domains. SOAHP is the first survey created to assess diagnostic, treatment and collaborative care approaches of Allergists/Immunologists, GPs, Ophthalmologists, Optometrists and Pharmacists on OA. SOAHP will be a useful tool in clinical research on OA.
摘要:
调查研究在了解卫生从业人员知识和实践方面的差距方面发挥了重要作用。然而,目前还没有关于眼过敏(OA)的调查研究。因此,这项研究的目的是开发和验证一项关于OA的调查,以更好地了解诊断方面的差距,治疗,以及健康从业者在OA中的协作护理方法。该调查的标题为“健康从业者眼部过敏调查(SOAHP)”。SOAHP是分五个阶段开发的。首先,通过使用文献综述来提取项目,第二,面部和内容的有效性,第三,一项试点研究,第四,测试-重测可靠性,第五,完成调查。在项目提取阶段最初生成了6个域下的65个项目。对该领域的15名专家进行了内容效度。进行了两次,以达成共识,从而增加了项目和领域,编辑,保持,或移除,导致7个域下的50个项目。试点研究是对来自五个相关保健医生领域的15名参与者进行的(变态反应学家/免疫学家,全科医生(GP),眼科医生,验光师和药剂师)。这进一步将调查更改为7个领域下的40个项目。对来自五个健康从业者领域的25名参与者进行了测试-重测可靠性。大多数(97%)调查项目的可靠性中等到几乎完美。最终的调查是7个领域下的40个项目。SOAHP是为评估诊断而创建的第一个调查,变态反应学家/免疫学家的治疗和协作护理方法,GP,眼科医生,验光师和药剂师对OA。SOAHP将成为OA临床研究的有用工具。
