Description
Background: Interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPE/
IPC) are essential for preparing students to work together and respect the
unique qualities and abilities of professionals. However, IPE/IPC and its
related concepts are highly abstract phenomena and complicated to assess
and measure. In consequence, a critical appraisal is needed to evaluate the
quality of the instruments.
Purpose: This study aimed to critically appraise, compare and summarize
the quality of measurement properties of all self-report collaboration
questionnaires for health professional students and to provide evidence
concerning the psychometric properties of the measurement.
Methods: A psychometric review was employed, and the COnsensus-based
Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN)
approach was applied to assess the methodological quality of the nature
of the measurements. Data search using keywords: health professional
students, interprofessional, collaboration, teamwork, collaborative, through
MEDLINE, EMBASE, and EBSCO-hosted Education Resource Information
Centre databases.
Results: Seven instruments from 10 reviewed studies were identified.
Among them, four instruments targeted attitudes toward collaboration.
One instrument focused on students’ collaborative learning readiness and
had been tested in Hong Kong using English, in Iran using Persian, and in
Indonesia using Bahasa Indonesia. One instrument measured perception
about IPE, and two studies measured IPE/IPC competencies related to
patient-centered, team-based, and collaborative care. The methodological
quality assessment indicated that several instruments were less rigorously
developed and validated than COSMIN and Quality Criteria of Measurement
Properties recommend.
Conclusion: The findings of this psychometric review are that the
Interprofessional Attitudes Scale is an instrument with adequate content
validation and very good structural validity, internal consistency, cross-
cultural validity, reliability, measurement error, and criterion validity. It is
recommended that the Interprofessional Attitudes Scale be used to measure
the interprofessional attitudes of health professional students.
