“…The lay representations of the terms "corruption" was obtained using the free association and the rank-frequency technique, as suggested by (Moliner & Abric, 2015). This is a common method used in studies to understand the semantic content of lay representation (Chundu et al, 2021).…”

“…Six independent participants who self-declared to be native Malay language speakers were recruited for forward translation and another three were recruited for backward translation purposes. The software Iramuteq was used to perform the prototypical analysis and to reveal the content of lay representations (Chundu et al, 2021).…”

“…Similarity analysis is a technique based on mathematical graph theory (Danermark et al, 2014). It is often used in lay representation because it helps us to understand the most important elements in lay representation (Chundu et al, 2021); how its internal structure was organized (Bouriche, 2003 as cited in Ferrara & Friant, 2016;Polli et al, 2021); and most importantly it helps in describing the relationship between the elements (Mondragon et al, 2021). Iramuteq software could be used to carry out similarity analysis by calculating the frequency of co-occurrences.…”

“…The data will be presented in a tree-shaped graph that illustrates the elements that "go together" (Polli et al, 2021). The nodes in the graph represent the frequency of the elements, where bigger nodes indicate the higher frequency reported in that cluster (Chundu et al, 2021). High frequencies are the fundamental of the representation and hold the representation together due to greater connection with other elements (Bales & Johnson, 2006).…”

Anti-corruption education is important in curbing corruption behavior. However, there is limited evidence about what should be designed into the anti-corruption curriculum for young people. Hence, this study intends to make suggestions about the development of anticorruption education in Malaysia based on Theory of Social Representation. A survey to explore young people's lay representation toward corruption was carried out. 232 respondents between 18 to 33 years old (M=19.79, SD=2.65) participated in this crosssectional survey performed in Malays Language and translated into English for report purposes. The lay representation of the terms "corruption" was obtained using the free association and the rank-frequency technique. The result suggests five important considerations for the development of anti-corruption education: (1) educate people about the concept of corruption that includes not only money exchange; (2) continue to provide examples of integrity and legal practices in politics; (3) educate people about all types of corruption, (4) emphasize that corruption is not acceptable regardless of any situation or circumstances and ( 5) educate people about the effects of corruption. This suggestion could be used by the government, stakeholders, schools, and non-profit organizations who are interested in educating the public or creating anti-corruption awareness among young people in Malaysia.

Purpose: This study aims to identify and describe factors that influence hearing aid outcomes including social networks, self-reported mental health, and service delivery models. Method: A prospective cross-sectional online survey was sent to hearing aid users recruited through an online platform ( http://www.hearingtracker.com ) between October and November 2021. The survey contained questions on patient demographics, audiological variables, general health and social factors, and self-reported hearing aid outcomes using the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOI-HA). Regression models evaluated potential contributing factors of hearing aid outcomes on the IOI-HA. Results: Three hundred ninety-eight hearing aid users completed the survey with an average age of 66.6 ( SD = 13.0) years, of which 59.3% were male. Positive contributing factors of hearing aid outcomes (IOI-HA total score) were social network of people with hearing loss with hearing aids ( p < .010; Exp[B] = 0.03, 95% CI [0.01, 0.1]), self-reported mental health ( p < .05; Exp[B] = 0.6, 95% CI [0.01, 1.2]), work situation ( p < .001; Exp[B] = 1.9, 95% CI [0.7, 2.8]), quality of life ( p < .005; Exp[B] = 1.2, 95% CI [0.3, 1.1]), and self-reported hearing difficulty ( p < .02; Exp[B] = 0.8, 95% CI [0.2, 1.5]). Negative contributing factors of hearing aid outcomes included social networks of people with hearing loss without hearing aids ( p < .001; Exp[B] = −0.1, 95% CI [−0.2, −0.2]) and service delivery model of private or university clinic compared to big-box retailers ( p < .001; Exp[B] = −1.6, 95% CI [−2.7, −0.7]). Conclusions: Novel factors including social network of persons with hearing loss who use hearing aids, self-reported mental health, service delivery model, and work situation are significant contributors to hearing aid outcomes. These newly identified factors can inform public hearing health promotion and individualized audiological care to optimize hearing aid outcomes.

Purpose: Numerous patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are available to measure hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. It is unclear to what extent currently available PROMs on hearing aid outcomes, often developed decades ago, meet current guidelines for good content validity and readability. This study evaluated the content validity and readability of PROMs that focus on perceived hearing aid benefit and/or satisfaction. Method: A literature review was conducted to identify eligible instruments. Content validity evaluation included mapping extracted questionnaire items to the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. In addition, study design in content validity methodology was evaluated using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments study design checklist for PROM instruments. Readability was estimated using the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook measure. Results: Thirteen questionnaires were identified and evaluated. Item content focused primarily on the components of environmental factors as well as activity limitations and participation restrictions with less emphasis on body functions and personal factors. The content validity methodology analysis revealed an underuse or lack of reporting of a qualitative methodology in assessing patient and professional perspectives. All the included questionnaires exceeded the recommended sixth-grade reading level. Conclusions: The categories covered by hearing aid PROMs vary considerably, with no single instrument comprehensively covering all the key ICF components. Future development of hearing aid outcome measures should consider a mixed methodology approach for improved content validity and ensure an appropriate reading level.
