Development and validation of COVID-19 vaccination perception (CoVaP) instrument among healthcare workers in Malaysia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Healthcare workers (HCWs) play an essential role in facilitating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination, and their confidence in vaccination is crucial. Nevertheless, valid instruments for assessing the HCWs' perceptions of COVID-19 vaccination were lacking. This study aims to develop and validate the COVID-19 Vaccination Perceptions (CoVaP) instrument among HCWs in Malaysia.

Methods

A literature review and discussion with research teams were conducted to identify the content to be considered. The instrument was developed in Malay language and underwent back-to-back translations to the English version. The initial CoVaP instrument was unidimensional with 12 items. The Malay and English versions underwent a content validation process by seven expert panels
