| description | Communication in the family has been declared as a way to measure family
satisfaction. Therefore, McLeod and Chaffee have developed a measurement
to measure family communication patterns in 1972 and later was revised by
Fitzpatrick and Ritchie in 1994. In addition, family well-being is important to the
achievement of a better communities. Families that can make right decisions,
fulfill their basic needs and address community challenges are better equipped
to enjoy happier and healthier life. As a result, there were a lot of research on
family communication patterns and family well-being that used the instrument
constructed by the western scholars. However, the suitability of the instrument
need to be re-evaluated so that the measurements used are accurate and
relevant with the Islamic perspective. Therefore, this study aims to dig up what
has been shown in Al-Quran and Hadith Prophet s.a.w. and transform it into
indicators in developing an instrument that is based on the Islamic perspective.
This study has employed an exploratory sequential mixed-methods. It has
started with qualitative method via a document analysis and then continued to
get depth understanding via an in-depth interview with the experts in Islamic field.
Based on the findings from the in-depth interview, the first draft of the newly
instrument has been produced which contains thirty items to measure family
communication patterns and thirty items to measure family well-being. After that,
it has been moved to the second phase where the newly developed instrument
need to be tested quantitatively. Content validation has been done with five
experts to check on the items measure what it should been measured. In the
face validation, two experts has checked on the possibility of misinterpreted or
misunderstood questions in the newly developed instrument. The newly
developed instrument then has been distributed to one hundred and ten
respondents in two phase. After each phase, exploratory factor analysis and
confirmatory factor analysis have been conducted. Moreover, interclass
correlation coefficient has been carried out in order to get the consistency of the
result over time. As a result, the final version of the newly developed instrument has been produced which contains twenty seven items to measure family
communication patterns and twenty one items to measure family well-being. In
conclusion, this study has contributed to the development of an instrument that
measures family communication patterns and family well-being in Islamic
perspective that is suitable to be used by Muslim families in Malaysia. However,
this study only be conducted until validation phase and future researchers are
encourage to continually distribute this newly developed instrument to wider
respondents of Muslim families in Malaysia. |
