Abstract
Measuring the psychopathology symptoms among flood victims is an important step for intervention and treatment. However, there is a gap of a valid, reliable and an efficient instrument to measure flood victims' mental distress in Malaysia. This study aims to revalidate e-Psychological Instrument for Flood Victims Version II (e-PIFV-II) by using expert judgment method to prove content-related evidence. The e-PIFV-II is a digital self-report inventory that has 56 items with 4 dimension scales namely stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Two studies have been done to revalidate the instrument. Results showed that there were very strong content coefficient validity for each subscale of the instrument. In study II the coefficient values for stress and trauma subscale of the e-PIFV-II were increased. The coefficient value of stress was 0.8-0.9, anxiety was 0.9, depression was 1.0, trauma was 0.9-1 and overall was 0.9. This study supports the theoretical framework and provides practical implication in the field of digital flood victims management, psychological testing and clinical psychology.
