BACKGROUND: Mental health resilience plays a pivotal role in national health strategies. Depression, a prevalent condition in Malaysia, remains under-managed in primary care due to a lack of structured, locally adapted tools.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to validate a locally developed, evidence-based Mindfulness Toolkit tailored for primary healthcare providers managing patients with mild to moderate depression.
METHODS: The toolkit was developed through a multi-stage, theory-driven process grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Development included evidence synthesis, contextual adaptation, drafting, expert review, and iterative refinement through a Modified Delphi process. A multidisciplinary panel comprising psychiatry, family medicine, public health, clinical psychology, and counselling participated. Items achieving ≥ 70 % consensus (ratings of 4 or 5) were retained. The finalized toolkit was then subjected to content and face validation by 15 experts using established indices (I-CVI, S-CVI/Ave, I-FVI, and S-FVI/Ave), with values ≥ 0.83 considered acceptable.
RESULTS: Through a three-round Delphi process, consensus was achieved, with all retained components exceeding the threshold mean rating of 4.5. The toolkit achieved strong face and content validity. Content validity indices indicated excellent relevance, clarity, simplicity, and lack of ambiguity (S-CVI/Ave = 0.99-1.00), while face validity demonstrated high average agreement (S-FVI/Ave = 0.94), though universal agreement was moderate (S-FVI/UA = 0.43).
CONCLUSION: The Mindfulness Toolkit shows great potential for integration into Malaysia's primary care system, addressing treatment gaps through a practical and culturally sensitive approach.
