Background: Health and QoL are essential for every individual. Regardless of their psychological status, every individual needs an optimum level of Self-satisfaction, Happiness, and QoL. The paper aimed to explore the QoL of the Indian population concerning their day-to-day needs.

Material and methods: The study used an online survey method to assess the QoL of Indian adults. The Questionnaires have been sent to more than 3000 participants through social media like Emails, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and WhatsApp. A total of 200 participants filled out the Google form completely. The data was collected from March 2022 to June 2022. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS (version 24).

Results: The Overall mean was found to be 3.25 [N = 200, Range 18-36 above, Mean = 3.25 and SD = 1.04]. A few important dimensions are mentioned, such as QoL (50% people with mean = 4.00), Self-satisfaction (38% people with mean = 4.00), enjoyment in life (45% people with mean = 4.00), sleep (42% people with mean = 4.00), sex life (36.5% people with mean = 3.00), constant strain (33.5% people with mean = 3.00), loss of self-confidence (26% people with mean = 3.00).

Conclusion: The study indicates low scores on self-satisfaction, QoL, and above-average scores for happiness. There must be interventions to improve the levels of psychological functioning among adults concerning these variables, which would, in turn, help improve the overall adults' functioning. The relevant interventions need to be planned to improve self-satisfaction, happiness, and QoL by improving daily activities.

背景:健康和生活质量对每个人都至关重要。无论心理状态如何,每个人都需要最佳水平的自我满足感、幸福感和 QoL。本文旨在探讨印度人的 QoL,了解他们的日常需求:本研究采用在线调查的方法来评估印度成年人的 QoL。通过电子邮件、Facebook、Instagram、Telegram 和 WhatsApp 等社交媒体向 3000 多名参与者发送了问卷。共有 200 名参与者完整填写了谷歌表格。数据收集时间为 2022 年 3 月至 2022 年 6 月。收集到的数据使用 SPSS(24 版)进行分析:总体平均值为 3.25 [N = 200,范围在 18-36 以上,平均值 = 3.25,标准差 = 1.04]。其中提到了几个重要的维度,如生活质量(50%的人,平均值=4.00)、自我满意度(38%的人,平均值=4.00)、生活乐趣(45%的人,平均值=4.00)、睡眠(42%的人,平均值=4.00)、性生活(36.5%的人,平均值=3.00)、持续紧张(33.5%的人,平均值=3.00)、丧失自信(26%的人,平均值=3.00):研究表明,自我满意度和 QoL 分数较低,而幸福感分数高于平均水平。必须采取干预措施来改善成年人在这些变量方面的心理功能水平,这反过来又有助于改善成年人的整体功能。需要规划相关的干预措施,通过改善日常活动来提高自我满意度、幸福感和 QoL。

Factors that influence dermatology residents' choice of future subspecialty: A cross-sectional study. 影响皮肤科住院医师选择未来亚专业的因素:横断面研究。
IF 1.4 Q3 EDUCATION, SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES Pub Date : 2024-08-29 eCollection Date: 2024-01-01 DOI: 10.4103/jehp.jehp_1398_23

Background: Factors influencing the choice of subspecialty fellowship program vary between medical specialties. In dermatology, there is a disparity in the distribution of dermatologists across fellowship programs. This study aimed to determine the factors considered by Saudi-trained dermatology residents when choosing a fellowship program to aid in promoting program characteristics and refining mentorship.

Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in six different regions in Saudi Arabia using a validated self-administered electronic questionnaire to investigate the factors that influence dermatology residents' choice of future subspecialty.

Results: The questionnaire was completed by 70 dermatology residents. Females represented 63% of the study sample. Of the study participants, only 40% decided on what subspecialty they wanted to pursue. Half of the included residents were from Riyadh, and 21% were from Jeddah. Quality of life was the most common factor influencing subspeciality choice, followed by earning potential and private practice opportunities. However, the least influential factors included the research potential of the subspeciality, family, and advice from doctors in other fields.

Discussion: Medical residents face a significant decision when choosing their subspecialty, as it can impact their career path. The factors influencing this decision vary between different medical specialties. For example, internal medicine residents tend to choose subspecialties that provide intellectual stimulation and complement their personalities, while orthopedic surgery residents prioritize their experience and interest in the subspecialty. Our study found that quality of life, income potential, and private practice opportunities are important factors that influence subspeciality choice in dermatology residents.

背景:各医学专科选择亚专科奖学金项目的影响因素各不相同。在皮肤科,皮肤科医生在各研究金项目中的分布存在差异。本研究旨在确定接受过沙特培训的皮肤科住院医师在选择奖学金项目时考虑的因素,以帮助促进项目特色和完善导师制度:在沙特阿拉伯的六个不同地区开展了一项描述性横断面研究,使用经过验证的自填式电子问卷,调查影响皮肤科住院医师选择未来亚专业的因素:70 名皮肤科住院医师完成了问卷调查。女性占研究样本的 63%。在研究参与者中,只有 40% 的人决定了他们想要从事的亚专业。一半的住院医师来自利雅得,21%来自吉达。生活质量是影响亚专科选择的最常见因素,其次是收入潜力和私人执业机会。然而,影响最小的因素包括亚专科的研究潜力、家庭和其他领域医生的建议:讨论:住院医师在选择亚专科时面临着一个重大决定,因为这会影响到他们的职业道路。影响这一决定的因素因医学专业而异。例如,内科住院医师倾向于选择能提供智力刺激并与其性格互补的亚专科,而骨科住院医师则优先考虑其经验和对亚专科的兴趣。我们的研究发现,生活质量、收入潜力和私人执业机会是影响皮肤科住院医生选择亚专科的重要因素。

Background: In women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), emotional problems constitute most of their symptoms. This study aimed to identify the emotion schemes of women with PMDD and to determine the core emotional pains at the center of the emotion scheme of PMDD to facilitate the treatment of this disorder using an emotion-focused therapy (EFT) approach.

Materials and methods: This study was performed using the directed content analysis method by Hsieh and Shannon. The participants were selected by purposive sampling. The Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST) was used for the primary diagnosis of women, and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) was conducted for the final diagnosis. A total of 10 participants were examined via in-depth interviews in this study. The emotion scheme matrix was used as a framework to identify the emotion scheme of PMDD.

Results: Based on the emotion scheme matrix, the participants' experiences were classified into two main themes, four categories, and eight subcategories, with 37 extracted codes.

Conclusion: Based on the present results, the primary and secondary emotions and behaviors in women with PMDD indicated perceptual-situational, bodily-expressive, motivational-behavioral, and symbolic-conceptual elements in line with the core emotional pains of desperation, despair, and feelings of worthlessness based on the primary maladaptive scheme of shame, which is responsible for different psychological symptoms.

背景:在患有经前期情感障碍(PMDD)的女性中,情感问题是她们的主要症状。本研究旨在识别 PMDD 女性患者的情绪方案,并确定 PMDD 情绪方案中心的核心情绪痛苦,以促进采用情绪焦点疗法(EFT)方法治疗该疾病:本研究采用了Hsieh和Shannon的定向内容分析法。研究对象通过有目的的抽样选出。经前期症状筛查工具(PSST)用于女性的初步诊断,DSM-5 结构化临床访谈(SCID-5)用于最终诊断。本研究共对 10 名参与者进行了深度访谈。研究以情绪方案矩阵为框架,确定了 PMDD 的情绪方案:根据情绪方案矩阵,参与者的经历被分为两大主题、四个类别和八个子类别,共提取了 37 个代码:根据本研究结果,PMDD 女性患者的主要和次要情绪与行为显示出感知-情景、身体-表达、动机-行为和符号-概念等要素,这些要素与基于羞耻感这一主要适应不良方案的绝望、绝望和无价值感等核心情绪痛苦相一致,而羞耻感是导致不同心理症状的原因。

Background: The Youth Health Ambassador Programme (YHAP) is a health educational program aimed at empowering youths to become health ambassadors in the community through raising their health awareness and training them in primary health prevention. This study evaluates the effectiveness of YHAP in improving the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of participants in physical and mental health.

Materials and methods: This study followed a single-group quasi-experimental design, with a pre- and postworkshop KAP survey. Participants were junior college (JC) and polytechnic students in Singapore enrolled in YHAP. In total, 131 responses were analyzed for changes in KAP for physical and mental health before and after the program. This article also studied the participants' barriers to educating others, including environment factors, intrinsic factors, and receptiveness of the target audience.

Results: Mean scores of all six KAP domains increased from the preworkshop survey to the postworkshop survey, with significant improvements (P < 0.05) in all domains except mental health knowledge. Individually, 16 out of 29 questions in the KAP sections had a significant increment in mean score after the program (P < 0.05). Mean scores for intrinsic barriers also decreased significantly (P < 0.001) postintervention, indicating that participants were less likely to agree that intrinsic factors were a barrier to educating people around them about health postintervention.

Conclusion: YHAP is effective in improving the KAP of physical health and the attitudes and practices of mental health JC and polytechnic students and may reduce the effect of intrinsic barriers that participants face when teaching others.

背景:青年健康大使计划(YHAP)是一项健康教育计划,旨在通过提高青年的健康意识并对他们进行初级健康预防培训,使他们成为社区中的健康大使。本研究评估了 "青年健康大使计划 "在改善参与者身心健康知识、态度和实践(KAP)方面的效果:本研究采用了单组准实验设计,并进行了工作坊前后的 KAP 调查。参与者为新加坡初级学院(JC)和理工学院参加 "青年健康行动方案 "的学生。共对 131 份答复进行了分析,以了解课程前后身心健康 KAP 的变化情况。本文还研究了参与者教育他人的障碍,包括环境因素、内在因素和目标受众的接受能力:从工作坊前的调查到工作坊后的调查,所有六个 KAP 领域的平均得分均有所提高,除心理健康知识外,其他领域均有显著提高(P < 0.05)。在 KAP 的 29 个问题中,有 16 个问题的平均得分在项目结束后有了显著提高(P < 0.05)。内在障碍的平均得分在干预后也有显著下降(P < 0.001),这表明参与者在干预后不太可能同意内在因素是他们向周围人进行健康教育的障碍:青少年健康教育计划能有效改善生理健康的KAP以及心理健康JC和理工学院学生的态度和实践,并能减少参与者在教育他人时所面临的内在障碍的影响。

Background: Children often develop phobia toward needle pricks and invasive procedures. It is difficult for medical personnel to manage children's pain when they are in the hospital. When it comes to assessing and treating children's discomfort, nurses interact with them the most. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Buzzy Bee device on pain perception among children undergoing invasive needle pricks as part of their treatment.

Materials and methods: The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design employing simple random sampling. A post-test-only design was used. After obtaining ethical clearance, data collection was done in the pediatric outpatient department and pediatric wards of Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, between February 2020 and August 2021. Faces Pain Rating Scale for children was used to rate the pain during the procedure, which is a standardized tool. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were done to analyze the data.

Results: Totally, 120 children along with their parents were interested in the study. After taking appropriate parental consent and children's assent, the participants were recruited by simple random sampling. They were equally divided into 60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group. The mean age was 8.14 (+/-2.3) in both groups. Among the 120 samples, 63 (52.5%) of them were males and 57 (47.5%) were females. The majority of them had diagnoses like thalassemia, leukemia, and sickle cell and were getting cannulated for blood transfusion therapy. t-test shows that 51.7% (31 samples) reported no pain in the experimental group and 33.3% (20 samples) reported only mild pain, whereas in the control group, only 5.0% (3 samples) reported no pain and 21.7% (13 samples) reported mild pain. About 26.7% of the samples reported very much pain as against the 7% who reported very much pain in the interventional group. There was a statistically significant difference in the pain scores between the control group and the experimental group (likelihood ratio test, P = 0.0001). The Buzzy Bee method significantly reduced the pain.

Conclusion: The introduction of a toy-like, child-friendly device, which works on the mechanism of vibrations and cold application, lessened the pain intensity during the procedure and acted as a good distractive therapy for children.

背景:儿童经常会对针刺和侵入性操作产生恐惧。在医院里,医务人员很难处理儿童的疼痛。在评估和治疗儿童的不适症状时,护士与他们的互动最多。本研究的主要目的是评估 Buzzy Bee 装置对接受侵入性针刺治疗的儿童疼痛感知的有效性:本研究采用简单随机抽样的准实验设计定量方法。研究采用了仅事后测试的设计。在获得伦理许可后,数据收集工作于 2020 年 2 月至 2021 年 8 月期间在阿曼马斯喀特苏丹卡布斯大学医院儿科门诊部和儿科病房进行。采用标准化工具 "儿童面部疼痛评分量表 "对手术过程中的疼痛进行评分。数据使用 SPSS 23 版进行分析。对数据进行了描述性和推论性统计检验:共有 120 名儿童及其家长对本研究感兴趣。在征得家长同意和儿童同意后,我们通过简单随机抽样的方式招募了参与者。他们被平均分为实验组 60 人和对照组 60 人。两组的平均年龄均为 8.14 岁(+/-2.3)。在 120 个样本中,男性 63 人(52.5%),女性 57 人(47.5%)。t 检验显示,实验组有 51.7%(31 个样本)的样本报告没有疼痛,33.3%(20 个样本)的样本报告只有轻微疼痛,而对照组只有 5.0%(3 个样本)的样本报告没有疼痛,21.7%(13 个样本)的样本报告有轻微疼痛。约有 26.7% 的样本报告非常疼痛,而在介入组中,只有 7% 的样本报告非常疼痛。对照组和实验组的疼痛评分有明显的统计学差异(似然比检验,P = 0.0001)。Buzzy Bee 法明显减轻了疼痛:结论:采用类似玩具的儿童友好型装置,利用振动和冷敷机制减轻了手术过程中的疼痛强度,对儿童起到了很好的分散注意力的治疗作用。

Background: Production, publication, and effective of academic research in health policy-making are tools to strengthen interactions between policy-makers, the scientific community, and the public. The purpose of this study was to identify the key factors of knowledge translation in the policy-making of the health system in Iran using the structural analysis method.

Materials and methods: This future study was conducted using the foresight structural analysis method for a 10-year horizon in Iran from 2022 to 2031. Initially, 183 factors were identified by literature review and interviews with experts. In the next step, factors were reduced to 34 factors based on the research team's opinions by merging similar items and removing fewer related items. Then, 34 factors were sent to the experts through an online questionnaire. Nineteen factors were identified with importance and uncertainty above the average. Then, the average degree of cross-impact of the selected factors in the matrix was scored by 11 experts in a focus group meeting, ranged from 3 (strong) to 1 (weak). The cross-impact of these factors was analyzed using MICMAC software.

Results: Five factors, including "policy-making method," "role and function of universities," "specialized services of knowledge brokering," "international conflicts," and "policy-makers' trust in university researches," were identified as key factors due to their high influence and effectiveness.

Conclusion: The results of this study will help the research managers of the universities to be more informed and, therefore, more successful in their planning for more efficient utilization of the knowledge and evidence from academic research by knowing the factors influencing the translation of knowledge.

背景:学术研究成果的生产、出版和在卫生政策制定中的有效应用是加强政策制定者、科学界和公众之间互动的工具。本研究的目的是利用结构分析方法确定伊朗卫生系统决策中知识转化的关键因素:本未来研究采用前瞻性结构分析方法,针对伊朗从 2022 年到 2031 年的 10 年期进行研究。首先,通过文献查阅和专家访谈确定了 183 个因素。下一步,根据研究团队的意见,通过合并相似项目和删除较少的相关项目,将因素缩减为 34 个因素。然后,通过在线调查问卷将 34 个因子发给专家。最终确定了 19 个重要性和不确定性高于平均水平的因素。然后,11 位专家在焦点小组会议上对矩阵中选定因素的交叉影响平均程度进行了评分,评分范围从 3(强)到 1(弱)不等。使用 MICMAC 软件对这些因素的交叉影响进行了分析:结果:"决策方法"、"大学的角色和职能"、"知识中介的专业化服务"、"国际冲突 "和 "决策者对大学研究的信任 "等五个因素因其影响力和有效性较高而被确定为关键因素:本研究的结果将有助于大学的研究管理人员掌握更多信息,从而更成功地制定计划,通过了解影响知识转化的因素,更有效地利用学术研究的知识和证据。

"The feedback dilemma"-provider and learner perspectives regarding the barriers and facilitators for giving and receiving feedback in medical education: A parallel mixed methods approach. "反馈困境"--从提供者和学习者的角度看医学教育中提供和接受反馈的障碍和促进因素:平行混合方法。
IF 1.4 Q3 EDUCATION, SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES Pub Date : 2024-08-29 eCollection Date: 2024-01-01 DOI: 10.4103/jehp.jehp_1594_23

Background: Learning in medical education involves a multitude of practical tasks and skills that are amenable to feedback provision. Though passive feedback is given, there is a consistent gap in feedback provision and its receipt. This study aims to assess provider perspectives on feedback and learner attributes influencing the receipt of feedback in medical educational settings.

Materials and methods: A parallel mixed methods study was conducted in September 2023 at a tertiary care teaching institute. A convenience sample of 40 medical teachers comprising two faculties per department and 30 students were included. Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with students from each academic year for assessing the student-level factors (facilitators and barriers) in the receipt of feedback.

Results: Among the 40 medical teachers who were interviewed, the majority of 23 (57.5%) were assistant professors and nearly half of them (18; 45.0%) were below the age of 30 years. The majority of the respondents (28; 70.0%) were females, and 34 (85.0%) of them were postgraduates. Most of them (24; 60.0%) had worked for more than 10 years at the institute. It was observed that 80.0% of the respondents had given feedback to their students at some point in their careers. The major barriers for providing feedback were lack of curricular guidelines, fear of affective responses from students, burden of clinical, administrative work, and lack of perceived need by both students and teachers. DESTEP analysis of the student-level factors governing the receipt of feedback shows the effects of institutional ethics and culture, feedback model utilized, and the influence of learner behaviors, motivations, and teacher attributes.

Conclusion: The study elucidates mentor- and mentee-level influencers for providing and receiving feedback. Effective teacher-student partnerships along with an optimal skill set are required to recognize the need, opportunities, and processes to provide and seek feedback. Shifting the focus from feedback giving to active feedback seeking would be a step toward creating effective and pragmatic feedback systems.

背景:医学教育中的学习涉及大量实践任务和技能,这些任务和技能都需要反馈。虽然反馈是被动提供的,但在提供反馈和接受反馈之间始终存在差距。本研究旨在评估反馈提供者对反馈的看法,以及在医学教育环境中影响反馈接收的学习者属性:一项平行混合方法研究于 2023 年 9 月在一所三级医疗教学机构进行。研究对象包括 40 名医学教师(每个系由两名教师组成)和 30 名学生。与每个学年的学生进行了焦点小组讨论(FGD),以评估学生层面在接收反馈意见方面的因素(促进因素和障碍因素):在受访的 40 名医学教师中,23 人(57.5%)为助理教授,近一半(18 人,45.0%)年龄在 30 岁以下。大多数受访者(28 人;70.0%)为女性,其中 34 人(85.0%)为研究生。大多数受访者(24 人,占 60.0%)在研究所工作了 10 年以上。据观察,80.0%的受访者在其职业生涯的某个阶段向学生提供过反馈意见。提供反馈的主要障碍是缺乏课程指导、担心学生的情绪反应、临床和行政工作负担以及学生和教师都认为没有必要。对学生接受反馈的因素进行的 DESTEP 分析表明,机构伦理和文化、所使用的反馈模式以及学习者行为、动机和教师属性的影响都会产生影响:本研究阐明了导师和学生层面对提供和接受反馈的影响因素。要认识到提供和寻求反馈的需要、机会和过程,就必须建立有效的师生伙伴关系,并掌握最佳技能。将重点从提供反馈转移到积极寻求反馈,将是朝着创建有效、务实的反馈系统迈出的一步。

Background: Faculty satisfaction with online teaching is essential for having effective online courses, and student success. Hence, a standard and suitable measure for the evaluation of satisfaction from online learning is required. This study was conducted to psychometrically evaluate the Persian version of the Online Instructor Satisfaction Measure (OISM) in nursing-midwifery faculty members.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional methodology study was conducted among Iranian nursing-midwifery faculty members (n = 400) from April to May 2020. After forward-backward translation, the face and content validity were assessed. The construct validity of the questionnaire was evaluated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and its convergent and discriminant validities were evaluated. The reliability of the questionnaire was also evaluated through Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega.

Results: Five factors (instructor-student interaction, student-student interaction, affordance, institutional support, and course design/development/teaching interaction) were identified in the exploratory factor analysis (χ 2 (241) = 379.43, P < .001, χ 2/df = 1.574, GFI = 0.888, CFI = 0.939, IFI =.940, TLI =.930, RMSEA (90% C.I.) =.049 [.039.,058]). The questionnaire had acceptable content and convergent validity. The questionnaire had acceptable reliability.

Conclusions: The findings of the study supported the adequate reliability, factorial, and convergent validities of OISM in a sample of Iranian nursing-midwifery faculty members.

背景:教师对在线教学的满意度对在线课程的有效性和学生的成功至关重要。因此,需要一种标准而合适的方法来评估在线学习的满意度。本研究对波斯语版的在线教师满意度测量(OISM)进行了心理计量学评估:2020 年 4 月至 5 月,对伊朗护理助产专业教师(n = 400)进行了横断面方法研究。经过前后向翻译后,对问卷的面效度和内容效度进行了评估。通过探索性和确认性因子分析评估了问卷的构建效度,并评估了其收敛效度和区分效度。此外,还通过 Cronbach's alpha 和 McDonald's omega 评估了问卷的信度:探索性因子分析确定了五个因子(教师-学生互动、学生-学生互动、可负担性、机构支持和课程设计/开发/教学互动)(χ 2 (241) = 379.43, P < .001, χ 2/df = 1.574, GFI = 0.888, CFI = 0.939, IFI =.940, TLI =.930, RMSEA (90% C.I.) =.049 [.039.,058])。问卷的内容效度和收敛效度均可接受。问卷的信度可以接受:研究结果表明,OISM 在伊朗护理和助产专业教师样本中具有充分的信度、因子效度和收敛效度。

Background: Student assessment is one of the main parts of educational planning, and improves the quality of education. Students understanding and feeling about assessment might affect significantly on learning and academic achievement. Considering the importance of this issue, and the lack of a valid and reliable Persian tool in medical universities for measuring this concept to measure students' perceptions and understandings of assessment, the current study aim was to determine the psychometric properties of (Students' Conceptions of Assessment - SCoA) inventory during the basic sciences students in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy in Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences.

Methods and materials: This is a cross-sectional study design. In order to carry out this study, SCoA inventory was translated and culturally adopted. To measure validity, reliability, and normalize the inventory, it was distributed among the study population composed of 302 students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences during the academic year 1400-1401 who met the inclusion criteria. The collected data were analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Cronbach's alpha using SPSS version 23 and Amos software.

Results: The results of data analysis showed that of the 302 participants, 119 were men and 183 were women. The mean age of students was 21.69 ± 2.16 years. Content validity was calculated, and it was reported 0.88. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine the internal consistency, and its value was 0.775. The construct validity of SCoA inventory was assessed using CFA by EQS version 6.1. The value of root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) was 0.092 with a 98% confidence interval, and the Goodness of fit index (GFI) value was 0.99. CFA for all items loaded across four factors, and this four-factor inventory showed a good fit in the Iranian community.

Conclusion: For the first time, the psychometric test of SCoA inventory has been carried out at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences. The Persian version of this inventory has good validity and reliability in Iran and is a useful tool for measuring the SCoA in medical university. Researchers and those interested in medical education and development centers can benefit from the results of this study. Also, this inventory has been applicable to determine the attitude and perceptions of students about assessment.

背景:学生评价是教育规划的主要部分之一,能提高教育质量。学生对评估的理解和感受可能会对学习和学业成绩产生重大影响。考虑到这一问题的重要性,以及医科大学缺乏有效可靠的波斯语工具来测量学生对评估的看法和理解,本研究旨在确定克尔曼沙阿医科大学医学、牙医学和药学专业基础科学学生(学生对评估的看法 - SCoA)量表的心理测量学特性:这是一项横断面研究设计。为了开展这项研究,对 SCoA 问卷进行了翻译并在文化上加以采用。为了测量量表的有效性、可靠性和正常化,研究人员在 1400-1401 学年克尔曼沙赫医科大学符合纳入标准的 302 名学生中分发了量表。使用 SPSS 23 版和 Amos 软件对收集到的数据进行了确证因子分析(CFA)和 Cronbach's alpha 分析:数据分析结果显示,在 302 名参与者中,119 人为男性,183 人为女性。学生的平均年龄为 21.69±2.16 岁。经计算,内容效度为 0.88。Cronbach's alpha 用于确定内部一致性,其值为 0.775。使用 EQS 6.1 版本的 CFA 对 SCoA 问卷的构建效度进行了评估。近似均方根误差(RMSEA)为 0.092,置信区间为 98%,拟合优度指数(GFI)为 0.99。所有项目的 CFA 在四个因子上都有载荷,这个四因子清单在伊朗社区显示出良好的拟合效果:克尔曼沙阿医科大学首次对 SCoA 量表进行了心理测试。该问卷的波斯语版本在伊朗具有良好的有效性和可靠性,是测量医科大学 SCoA 的有用工具。研究人员以及对医学教育和发展中心感兴趣的人可以从本研究的结果中获益。此外,该问卷还适用于确定学生对评估的态度和看法。
