TODO - The current article aims to translate the PREMIS (Physician Readiness to
Manage Intimate Partner Violence) survey into the Greek language and
test its validity and reliability in a sample of primary care
physicians. The validation study was conducted in 2010 and involved all
the general practitioners serving two adjacent prefectures of Greece (n
= 80). Maximum-likelihood factor analysis (MLF) was used to extract key
survey factors. The instrument was further assessed for the following
psychometric properties: (a) scale reliability, (b) item-specific
reliability, (c) test-retest reliability, (d) scale construct validity,
and (e) internal predictive validity. The MLF analysis of 23 opinion
items revealed a seven-factor solution (preparation, constraint,
workplace issues, screening, self-efficacy, alcohol/drugs, victim
understanding), which was statistically sound (p = .293). Most of the
newly derived scales displayed satisfactory internal consistency (alpha
>= .60), high item-specific reliability, strong construct, and internal
predictive validity (F = 2.82; p = .004), and high repeatability when
retested with 20 individuals (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]
> .70). The tool was found appropriate to facilitate the identification
of competence deficits and the evaluation of training initiatives.
