| description | The aim of the study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Malay
translated State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) for use in exploring the burden ofanxiety amongst parents of a child visited hospital for medical treatment. The
instrument was administered to 53 parents of children seen in the Emergency
Department and 52 parents in the outpatient Physiotherapy Unit. Internal
consistency reliability (α) for state anxiety and trait anxiety subscale was high
with values of 0.94 and 0.84, respectively. Test-retest reliability demonstrated
wide range of scores with only 25 items showed significant intra-class correlation
coefficients, ICC (range 0.60 – 0.94, 95% CI, p<0.05) after 4-weeks retest.
Performances of matrix following a factor analysis were consistent with 4-factors
structure of original STAI. A few items did not perform as expected but did not
impair the overall performance. This Malay translated version is a valid and reliable
measure of anxiety for parents with children visiting hospital for medical treatment,
with caution in the interpretation of some items. |
