0.94
Reliability notes:
Internal consistency reliability evaluated by testing average correlation between construct items of the entire scale and subscales. Chronbach's alpha of entire scale = 0.94. Chronbach's alpha of subscales 'leader's vision,' 'healthcare provider's competency,' 'health education materials,' and 'patient-friendly environment' calculated as 0.93, 0.92, 0.88, and 0.72, respectively. Corrected item-total correlation ranged from 0.44 to 0.74, indicating adequate internal reliability.
