Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: Indonesia^s maternal mortality rate is ranked third in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) at over 173 per 100,000 live births. One of the causes of high maternal mortality rates in middle-income countries is pregnancy complications. Pregnancy complications such as anemia will cause bleeding, preeclampsia, prematurity, low weight, and birth. Based on the results of the literature, the researcher developed a health application to prevent complications of anemia. The instrument development was carried out because the literature study had not found the application of the health belief model concept in the prevention of anemia complications among pregnant women.
Purpose: to test the content validity of the questionnaire on anemia prevention behavior and the M-Health App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ).
Methods: The internal validity test was carried out in Yogyakarta. This study involved five multi-professional experts in the health sector, namely doctoral education, doctoral nursing, nutrition and health promotion experts, nurses, and midwives. Steps were taken: 1) establishing clear concepts and objectives, 2) domain definition and identification, 3) item definition and generation, 4) building instruments, 5) preparing instruments to test content validity, 6) conducting validity tests by involving health experts 7) Conduct analysis using the Content Validity Index (I-CVI).
Results: The result of the content validity index for the essential indicators of anemia complication prevention behavior is 0.98, and the relevance indicator is one, so the total value is 0.99. The content validity result for the essential indicator of MAUQ is one, and the relevance indicator is one, so the total value is one.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the instrument for preventing anemia complications among pregnant women and the M-Health App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ) are valid.
