چکیده
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) pandemic has prompted the furthervirtualization of medical education. The satisfaction level of specific users such as cardiology residentswith virtual education can augment its quality; hence, the significance of a valid and reliable questionnaireto obtain feedback is needed. This study aimed to design and measure validity and reliability of asatisfaction questionnaire for virtual education of cardiology residents during COVID‑19 pandemic.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross‑sectional study, a self‑administered questionnairewas developed by the faculty members of Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center.Reliability was tested utilizing Cronbach’s alpha and intercorrelation which was tested using Pearson’scorrelation coefficient test (ICC). Factor analysis was done by the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure ofsampling adequacy and Bartlett’s sphericity test. The statistical analyses were performed with theSPSS software version 22.RESULTS: The face validity index was determined via an assessment of the relevance, clarity, andsimplicity of each item, and values >0.79 were accepted. The total Cronbach’s alpha coefficient wascalculated 0.93. Concerning test–retest reliability, the correlation between two rounds of evaluationwas >80 (P > 0.001) and ICC was 0.99 (P = 0.001). The content validity evaluation yielded an index of0.95 and a ratio of 0.91. The principal component factor analysis, conducted to investigate constructvalidity, generated four domains.CONCLUSIONS: The study results confirmed the validity and reliability of the designed questionnaireto evaluate the level of satisfaction of cardiology residents with virtual learning in COVID‑19 pandemic.
