This study aimed to validate a questionnaire on dietary fibre (DF)-related knowledge in a Turkish student population. Participants (n=360) were either undergraduate students who have taken a nutrition course for 14 weeks (n=174) or those in another group who have not taken such a nutrition course (n=186). Test-retest reliability, internal reliability, and construct validity of the questionnaire were determined. Overall internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.90) and test-retest reliability (0.90) were high. Significant differences (p<0.001) between the scores of the two groups of students indicated that the questionnaire had satisfactory construct validity. It was found that one-fifth of the students were unsure of the correct answer for any item, and 52.5% of them were not aware that DF had to be consumed on a daily basis. Only 36.4 to 44.2% of the students were able to correctly identify the food sources of DF.
本研究旨在验证一份关于膳食纤维(DF)相关知识的问卷在土耳其学生群体中的有效性。参与者(n = 360)包括修读了14周营养课程的本科生(n = 174)或未修读此类营养课程的另一组学生(n = 186)。确定了问卷的重测信度、内部信度和结构效度。总体内部信度(Cronbach's alpha = 0.90)和重测信度(0.90)较高。两组学生得分之间的显著差异(p < 0.001)表明问卷具有令人满意的结构效度。结果发现,五分之一的学生对任何一项的正确答案都不确定,其中52.5%的学生不知道必须每天摄入膳食纤维。只有36.4%至44.2%的学生能够正确识别膳食纤维的食物来源。
