Content Validity Determination of the Suicidal Ideation Behaviour Assessment Instruments Using Content Validity Ratio (CVR) Formula
SUICIDAL IDEATION BEHAVIOUR ASSESSMENT
Abstract
Drug addiction problems have been identified as one of the high-risk factors closely linked to suicidal behaviour. Early detection of suicidal intent among addicts is important to ensure they do not take actions that could result in death. Accordingly, this study aimed to Suicidal Ideation Behaviour Assessment (SIBA) instruments specifically among 123 treated addicts in Cure and Care Rehabilitation Centre (CCRC), Besut. Based on those statements, the main objective of this study was to determine the content validity of SIBA instruments for using the content validation Ratio (CVR) method. Subjects that were involved in conducting the trial of the instruments were 8 experts from UniSZA, UPSI and UMT. The instrument validation process involved 40 items from four components. The previous study found that the instrument had high validity with the minimum level of CVR value (N=8, CVR = 0.88). Generally, all items were identified with values above 0.63 rated acceptable and no item has been rejected occur. The result showed that the instrument is appropriate, relevant, has the potential to be a good content validity and proved that SIBA has a great potential to be promoted as a good instrument. This study was conducted to detect intoxication of their suicidal ideation among drug addicts. This psychometric instrument is developed based on the situation in Malaysia. This study is expected to make a significant contribution to the government, especially the CCRC in assisting addicts with suicidal ideation behaviour by providing better attention and psychosocial support services.
