The Parent Attitudes about Childhood Vaccines (PACV) questionnaire was validated and used in the U.S.A. to identify vaccine hesitant parents. This study aimed to adapt and translate the 15-item PACV questionnaire from English into the Malay language, and to examine its validity and reliability. The study involved three phases: i) adaptation and translation, ii) face validation and iii) field testing and psychometric evaluation of the Malay version. The sample population were parents of children aged 0 – 24 months, recruited at Klinik Kesihatan Seksyen 19 Shah Alam between November 2016 – June 2017. During content validation, two items were identified as items with formative scale and excluded from exploratory factor analysis (EFA) but retained for content validity. A total of 151 parents completed the questionnaire with response rate of 93.3%. Test-retest reliability was tested in 25 respondents four weeks later and the intra-class correlation was between 0.533 – 1.000. EFA of the 13 items showed possibility of two to four factor domains, but three domains were most conceptually equivalent. One item was deleted due to poor factor loading of < 0.3. Therefore, the validated final PACV-Malay consisted of 14 items framed within four factor domains. The PACV-Malay was reliable with total Cronbach alpha of 0.74. In conclusion, the PACV-Malay is a valid and reliable tool which can be used to identify vaccine hesitant parents in Malaysia. Confirmatory factor analysis and scoring validation are recommended for future studies. 2017 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/62460/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/62460/1/62460.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA, Selangor Faculty of Medicine Abdul Razak, Suraya Md Yasin, Mazapuspavina Isa, Mohamad Rodi
