| Summary: | Introduction: Workplace bullying is a serious public health issue that may be associated stress-related health problems. These problems contribute to negative consequences such as mental stress, absenteeism, and quitting. It is thus key to evaluate or monitor workplace bullying through questionnaires, especially in a native language. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Malay version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised and the Workplace Violence in the Health Sector Country questionnaire among nurses in a Malaysian public hospital. Methods: Ten experts reviewed two sets of questionnaires; the Malay version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised and the Malay version of Workplace Violence in the Health Sector Country questionnaire, in this study. The cross-sectional pilot study of 40 nurses was carried out in the medical and surgical wards of a public hospital in Selangor from 1st to 7th April 2020. In addition, the content validation index and internal consistency were assessed. Results: Content validation index of the Malay version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised and the Workplace Violence in the Health Sector Country questionnaire were 0.977 and 0.979, respectively. The Cronbach alpha for the Malay version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised was 0.951. Conclusion: High values of content validation index were established in both questionnaires and internal consistency was excellent for the Malay version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised. © 2022 UPM Press.
