Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of the Malay-Version of the Factors Influencing Community Willingness to Perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Use an Automated External Defibrillator Questionnaire.

ABSTRACT: Limited factors influence community willingness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use an automated external defibrillator, making it difficult to take preventive and control measures to improve the survival of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In this study, we translated and evaluated the Malay-language version of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation and an automated external defibrillator questionnaire. The translation and evaluation involved three phases: development, translation and cultural adaptation, and validation. Content validity was assessed by five experts, and demonstrated a content validity index of 0.98 and a Fleiss kappa index of 0.159. Construct validity for the multi-item scale performed using factor analysis and involving 100 participants was 0.777. F
