Delayed detection has far-reaching implications for families, society, and the nation. This study addresses the critical need for an enhanced early detection mechanism led by healthcare providers to tackle the growing issue of ASD effectively in Jordan, particularly in Al-Mafraq City. The research objective focuses on developing and validating questionnaires related to knowledge, awareness, experience, perceived preparedness, perceived willingness, and belief in early ASD detection. The study also explored the interrelationships among these factors and assessed the moderating effect of belief among the healthcare providers. It was conducted as a cross-sectional study in two main phases. The first phase involved generating and developing questionnaires through a rigorous validation process, including content validity, face validity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and item analysis. An initial comprehensive 51-item English version instrument was created, incorporating a five-point Likert scale. The subsequent analysis involved a random sample of 130 healthcare professionals, which led to the removal of one item, ensuring satisfactory factor loadings (r > 0.60) and internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.8) for all constructs. The second phase encompassed Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), descriptive statistics, path relationships utilizing Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), and moderation effects assessment via multi-group analysis. Employing SPSS-AMOS 24.0, a sample of 202 respondents from another hospital and 23 primary care centres underwent field investigation for the CFA procedures. The results demonstrated acceptable fitness index values, affirming good construct validity for each variable. The convergent validity and composite reliability surpassed threshold values, further confirming the instrument validity. The analysis revealed a slightly high correlation coefficient of 0.89 between the Preparedness and Willingness constructs while maintaining discriminant validity for other correlations. The Structural Equation Model confirmed the positive relationships of Knowledge, Experience, and Preparedness (p < 0.001) towards Willingness for early ASD detection among healthcare personnel. Notably, Belief significantly moderated the Preparedness–Willingness relationship (p < 0.001). In conclusion, this study has produced valid and reliable instruments to measure the critical aspects of ASD early detection among healthcare providers. A targeted multi-approach strategy is recommended to improve their personal knowledge, experience, preparedness, and belief in enhancing early ASD detection in Al-Mafraq City, Jordan. 2025-06-17 03:24 uuid:a227431c-e55a-47bd-bfc7-be794ad8097d DEVELOPMENT, VALIDATION AND EVALUATION OF PERSONAL FACTORS’ IMPACT ON WILLINGNESS OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS FOR EARLY DETECTION OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN AL-MAFRAQ CITY, JORDAN.pdf Thesis |

| summary | Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition impacting a child's social interaction, communication, and behaviour, presents challenges when not promptly detected. Delayed detection has far-reaching implications for families, society, and the nation. This study addresses the critical need for an enhanced early detection mechanism led by healthcare providers to tackle the growing issue of ASD effectively in Jordan, particularly in Al-Mafraq City. The research objective focuses on developing and validating questionnaires related to knowledge, awareness, experience, perceived preparedness, perceived willingness, and belief in early ASD detection. The study also explored the interrelationships among these factors and assessed the moderating effect of belief among the healthcare providers. It was conducted as a cross-sectional study in two main phases.
