“…The present study result showed that only 32.7% of the households sampled in South Eastern Ethiopia had access to adequately iodised salt, which is far lower than the WHO recommendation of 90% of households. 4 Similarly, adequately iodised salt at household level in Odisha, India of 62%, 15 South Africa 62.4% 16 and Ghana 64.6% 17 were observed.…”

Background: Iodine is a micronutrient required by the body in small amounts to prevent iodine deficiency disorder (IDD), which is a global public health concern. There were no specific data at household level of adequately iodised salt in the study area. Thus this study aimed to assess availability of adequately iodised salt and its associated factors at household level in Bale-Robe, South East Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Robe town, Bale Zone, South East Ethiopia in April 2015. Data were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires from a total of 367 households, which were identified through systematic random sampling. Salt iodine content was estimated using rapid testing kits at the household level. Descriptive statistics was used to determine the prevalence, and association between dependent and independent variables was computed by using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression. A p-value of < 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. Results: Of 374 samples, 370 respondents were interviewed yielding a response rate of 99%. One-third (32.7%) of the household levels used adequately iodised salt. Respondents' educational status, exposure to information on how to handle iodised salt and type of salt used by the respondents were independent factors for availability of adequately iodised salt at the household level. Salt that had been stored in a dry place was twice as likely to have an adequate iodine content compared with salt stored in a high-moisture area or near a fire (AOR = 2.13, CI = 1.19-3.72). Conclusion: Availability of adequately iodised salt at the household level was very low. Factors that were associated with household levels' access to adequately iodised salt included educational level, age of the respondents and place where salt is stored, and had an effect on whether households iodise salt adequately. Strategies to educate residents regarding the appropriate storage conditions to minimise iodine losses in iodised salt are required in Bale-Robe district of South East Ethiopia.

“…The general content and specific items of the questionnaire were initially derived from an intensive review of literature available in national and international sources by the main researcher. [9][10][11]17,22,26,27 English items were translated into Farsi, making sure that the original meaning was retained. The research team, including public health education, community nutrition, and endocrinology professionals experienced in the iodine nutrition field, assessed the preliminary items and provided structured comments.…”

Abstract. Thyroid function disorders can affect the biological, psychological and social conditions of the sufferer. This study aimed at developing a thyroid dysfunction questionnaire (TDQ) based on a biopsychosocial phenomenon, which is the impact of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The development of this instrument began with identification of the measurement objectives, domains and items. The procedures of Thurstone Scaling were done with analysis of content validity using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI), which were formulated by three experts of thyroid and endocrinology. Every item in the TDQ was determined through median analysis based on the valuation results done by 44 internists from hospitals and 44 doctors from Puskesmas (Public Health Center) with 11 categories of response (1-11). The results of CVR analysis ranged from 0.33 to 1.00 and the value of CVI was 78%. It showed that the experts had adequate rate of homogeneity to judge the relevance of the 33 items in TDQ. The median analysis showed that the 33 items of TDQ had scores ranging from 4 to 10. Thus, it was expected that the TDQ scores on this interval scale would facilitate observer to make an interpretation of the examination of thyroid function of the subjects. Keywords: Thurstone scaling, thyroid dysfunction questionnaire, experts' judgment, biopsychosocialAbstrak. Gangguan fungsi tiroid berpengaruh terhadap kondisi biologis, psikologis dan sosial penderitanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan kuesioner disfungsi tiroid yang disebut thyroid dysfunction questionnaire (TDQ), berdasarkan fenomena biopsikososial yang merupakan dampak dari kondisi hipotiroidisme dan hipertiroidisme. Pengembangan kuesioner diawali dengan mengidentifikasi tujuan pengukuran, domain dan aitem. Selanjutnya, prosedur penskalaan Thurstone diawali dengan menganalisis validitas isi, menggunakan content validity ratio (CVR) dan content validity index (CVI) dari tiga orang ahli tiroid dan endokrinologi. Skor setiap aitem dalam TDQ ditentukan menggunakan analisis median, berdasarkan hasil penilaian 44 internis dari rumah sakit dan 44 dokter dari Puskesmas dengan 11 kategori respons (1 -11). Hasil analisis CVR berkisar 0,33-1,00 dan CVI sebesar 78%, menunjukkan bahwa para ahli memiliki tingkat kesepakatan yang memadai untuk menilai relevansi dari 33 aitem dalam TDQ. Selanjutnya analisis median menunjukkan 33 aitem TDQ mempunyai skor mulai dari 4 -10. Diharapkan skor TDQ pada skala interval ini memudahkan observer melakukan interpretasi hasil pemeriksaan fungsi tiroid pada subjek.Kata kunci: penskalaan Thurstone, thyroid dysfunction questionnaire, penilaian ahli, biopsikososial 1 Korespondensi mengenai isi artikel ini dapat dilakukan melalui:
