Validation of Perceived Changes Questionnaire for Korean People (PCQ-K)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to validate the Perceived Changes Questionnaire (PCQ) developed by Büssing, Recchia, Hein, and Dienberg(2020) for Korean people. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted for adults over the age of 19, and a total of 524 copies of data were collected. For data analysis, IBM SPSS 22.0 program and AMOS 21.0 program were used. In this study, confirmatory factor analysis was performed on 24 items of 5 sub-factors derived from the PCQ scale. To evaluate the validity of the model, convergent validity and discriminant validity were tested. To verify the convergent validity, a correlation analysis with spiritual and religious attitude toward disease was performed. In order to verify discriminant validity, a correlation analysis with corona stress was performed. Finally, the significance and limitations of the research were described, and suggestions for follow-up studies were made.
