Abstract
Introduction and Aims:

One of the important strategies to control cutaneous leishmaniasis is preventive behaviors and evaluation of preventive behaviors from leishmaniasis and detecting factors associated with the disorder is the first step in planning for training intervention. Since there is no standard questionnaire in this regard, this study aimed to design and psychometric native tools to evaluate the preventive behaviors of cutaneous leishmaniasis based on BASNEF Model in students of Neyshabur.

Materials and Methods:

In this sectional study, we designed a primary tool after investigated the scientific sources and Needs assessment beliefs Based on BASNEF Model on 25 people from the study population. For psychometric tools, we used artificial validity with the participation of 20 students and content validity (By measuring the ratio of the content validity and content validity index) through an expert panel with the participation of 10 health education experts and tool designed experts. Construct validity (using confirmatory factor analysis) was performed in LISREL software by selecting 226 high school students by using a multistage random sampling method. To determine the reliability of the tool, we used internal consistency and test-retest method.

Results:

The basic questionnaire version was designed with 46 items then some items were modified by artificial and content validity.in artificial validity, 2 items were excluded because of having an impact score less than 1.5 and content validity by taking a cut-off point./79 to measure content validity index and cut-off point./62 for the credit test, the number of 8 items to be removed and items Number declined to 36 in artificial and content validity rate. In constructing validity, AGFI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.040 were obtained by Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Respectively. The reliability of the tool was approved through internal consistency (0/864 = α) and retest test (0/993 =ICC)

Conclusions:

The results showed that prevention behavior questionnaire of skin, cutaneous Based on BASNEF Model is valid and reliable with 36 items, and because of the strength of suitable factor structure and psychometric properties, researchers can use it in the related studies.
