Application of the information-motivation-behavioral-skills model to validate a cognitive and behavioral intervention scale for tuberculosis patients in Jos,Nigeria
Psychometric scales can be used to assess the cognition of and behavior toward tuberculosis (TB) disease and anti-TB medicines in TB patients by applying the Information-Motivation-Behavioral-Skills model. This study validated a psychometric scale from the responses of 115 TB patients using principal component (PCA) and reliability analyses. The Cronbach’s-alpha was 0.864. The PCA identified 21 factors, with eigenvalues greater than one. Six factors, with factor loading >0.5 had more than two items loaded to a factor. Twenty-five items validated from six factors suggest that the scale can be used for cognitive and behavioral assessment and interventions in tuberculosis patients.
