Given the importance of communication skills and undesirable status of these skills among Community Health Workers (CHWs) and lack of a comprehensive, theory- and competency-based questionnaire in this field, the current study aimed to develop and psychometrically assess competency-based communication skills questionnaire based on Intervention Mapping Approach (IMA) for CHWs.
This methodological study was performed at 2019. Firstly, through performing a qualitative study and literature review, CHWs’ competencies in regard to communication skills was determined. Then, behavioral determinants were determined based on literature review. Following primary designation of questionnaire, face and content validity was assessed, and then through fulfillment of questionnaire by 657 CHWs, construct validity was performed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) by AMOS software. Finally, reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by determination of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) by SPSS software version 20. Mean and standard deviation of age of CHWs was 37.35 ± 8.21 years. CVR and CVI of items of questionnaire were between 0.8 and 1, and the impact scores ranged from 3.6 to 5.Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for total questionnaire was 0.918, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of constructs of questionnaire ranged from 0.646 (knowledge construct) to 0.937 (performance construct). ICC for constructs ranged from 0.619 (knowledge construct) to 0.926 (performance construct). Indices of model fit were at acceptable range and confirmed sufficiency of the model. Development of the competency-based communication skills questionnaire based on IMA leads to develop a tool to evaluate communication skills with desirable indices. Therefore, it is recommended to use IMA to develop the questionnaire in context of communication skills, health education and behavioral change.
