Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability assessment were performed. The construct validity of A and P determined by EFA and confirmed by CFA. Difficulty index was used for K. Results The reliability score of questionnaire was satisfactory. The three items of K-A-P questionnaire were significantly associated with the total score of questionnaire. The KAP questionnaire regarding food safety in covid-19 consisted of 27 items multidimensional scale with strong psychometric features.

“…Our results are similar to other resembling COVID-19 questionnaire validations in other languages. A Korean study was based on similar sample size (229) and obtained an alpha Cronbach coefficient of 0.75 for validating a survey that assesses COVID-19 knowledge, attitudes and practices among nursing students [ 39 ]. Likewise, the validation of an Indian questionnaire to assess knowledge, attitude, practices and concerns regarding COVID-19 vaccination among the general population was based on 201 participants and resulted in an alpha Cronbach coefficient of 0.86.…”

The World Health Organization warns about the threat of the COVID-19 sixth wave. Our aim was to propose the first validated Romanian questionnaire to assess people’s level of education and attitudes towards general measures to protect against COVID-19 infection. Our study was conducted on a sample of 194 people. The first version of the questionnaire consisted of 40 items. Items that did not meet psychometric criteria were removed. Latent components/factors were identified through exploratory factorial analysis (EFA). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to assess internal fidelity. The EFA identified three factors. Factor 1 was named “Compliance with protective measures”, factor 2 was “Attitudes toward vaccination” and factor 3 was “Attitudes regarding potential COVID-19 therapies”. The final version of the questionnaire consists of 16 items. The test’s final score predicted the presence of vaccination with an accuracy of 0.773. The questionnaire score, the diagnosis of diabetes, the advice provided by healthcare workers and the medical profession proved to be significant predictors of vaccination. The implementation of our questionnaire within national programs could identify populational areas that need specific interventions to reach vaccination targets and prevent a full-blown sixth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Romania.

Global observations have shown that the success or failure in preventing and controlling the spread of COVID-19 largely relies on human behaviours. Human behaviours in preventing and controlling the spread of the disease principally, is dependent on the level of knowledge of the disease, the attitudes adopted by persons due to the level of knowledge of the disease and the decision to adhere to the preventive practices (KAP) of the disease. Since the beginning of this pandemic, numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the KAP on the novel COVID-19 among diverse demographic groups. However, no reported studies have been found on the KAP of the COVID-19 pandemic among the deaf in various populations around the world. This study sought to assess the KAP of COVID-19 among deaf persons in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. The design of this study utilized the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) survey. Good attitude and adherence to the preventive practices of COVID-19 was observed among the deaf persons. However, knowledge about the science of the disease was lacking. Educational campaigns about COVID-19 should also emphasize the teaching and understanding of the science of the virus and the disease to its audience.
