Introduction Questionnaires as a tool to measure sociocultural factors related to COVID-19 infection has not been widely used by researchers. In Malaysia, there is no validated questionnaire for such purpose yet. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop and validate a questionnaire as a new tool to measure the sociocultural factors related to COVID-19 among the Orang Asli population in Malaysia. Methods A pilot study was conducted among 30 Orang Asli in Kuala Lipis, Pahang. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used to test the content validity of the questionnaire, while the construct validity and reliability of the questionnaire were determined using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient respectively. Results A set of questionnaires, which consisted of four constructs was developed into beliefs, traditional medicine, traditional culture, and social support. A total of 16 items were maintained in EFA with Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.617, 0.778, 0.773, and 0.779. Conclusions This newly developed questionnaire is successfully validated and can be used to measure sociocultural factors related to COVID-19 among the Orang Asli population. However, improvement will still be necessary from time to time to ensure its relevance especially if it is to be used by different populations or countries, considering different diseases.
