背景:职业安全和健康在棕榈油行业中至关重要,特别是在马来西亚,棕榈油种植园工人面临各种危险。本研究旨在翻译和验证风险感知问卷,该问卷专门用于评估登嘉楼棕榈油种植园工人对安全和健康风险的看法。马来西亚。
方法:原始风险感知问卷,由22个项目组成,被翻译成当地语言和文化适应。翻译过程涉及前向翻译,专家小组讨论,和回译,以确保语言对等。然后将翻译后的问卷发放给登嘉楼棕榈油种植园工人的样本,马来西亚,用于验证目的。进行验证性因子分析(CFA)以评估问卷的模型适合度。并计算了Cronbach的Alpha系数,以确定最终模型的内部一致性可靠性。
结果:翻译的风险感知问卷显示出良好的模型适应性,如CFA结果显示(X2=224,df=79,p值<0.0001,近似均方根误差(RMSEA)=0.07,拟合优度指数(GFI)=0.929,比较拟合指数(CFI)=0.902)。问卷的最终版本有一个因素,包括13个项目,根据因子负荷和理论相关性进行选择。13项问卷的内部一致性可靠性令人满意,Cronbach的Alpha系数为α=0.77。
结论:13项风险感知问卷显示出良好的模型拟合和可接受的内部一致性可靠性。结果表明,该问卷是评估马来西亚棕榈油种植园工人对安全和健康的风险感知水平的有效且可靠的工具。
BACKGROUND: Occupational safety and health are of utmost importance in the palm oil industry, particularly in Malaysia where palm oil plantation workers face various hazards. This study aimed to translate and validate a risk perception questionnaire specifically designed to assess the perceptions of safety and health risks among palm oil plantation workers in Terengganu, Malaysia.
METHODS: The original risk perception questionnaire, consisting of 22 items, was translated into the local language and culturally adapted. The translation process involved forward translation, expert panel discussions, and back translation to ensure linguistic equivalence. The translated questionnaire was then administered to a sample of palm oil plantation workers in Terengganu, Malaysia, for validation purposes. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess the model fitness of the questionnaire, and Cronbach\'s Alpha coefficient was calculated to determine the internal consistency reliability of the final model.
RESULTS: The translated risk perception questionnaire demonstrated good model fitness as indicated by CFA results (X2=224, df=79, p-value<0.0001, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.07, goodness of fit index (GFI)=0.929, comparative fit index (CFI)=0.902). The questionnaire\'s final version has one factor comprising 13 items, selected based on factor loadings and theoretical relevance. The internal consistency reliability of the 13-item questionnaire was satisfactory, with a Cronbach\'s Alpha coefficient of α=0.77.
CONCLUSIONS: The 13-item risk perception questionnaire demonstrated a good model fit and acceptable internal consistency reliability. It shows that the questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate the level of risk perception on safety and health among palm oil plantation workers in Malaysia.
