This paper describes the development and preliminary validation of a measure to investigate interprofessional attitudes and how these attitudes change over time. Items for the questionnaire were elicited from 'construct exercises' with staff from different Health Schools resulting in a 20-item 'Attitudes to Health Professionals Questionnaire' (AHPQ). The questionnaire was completed by first year students from five different health professions. Its structure was evaluated using principal components analysis, the internal consistency was determined and the test-retest reliability assessed. Analysis of these data led to rephrasing/ removal of certain items and a revised form of the AHPQ. The revised AHPQ was completed by a different cohort of students and a preliminary validation was carried out. A solution with two main components labelled 'caring' and 'subservient' emerged from analysis of the structure of the initial AHPQ, the overall internal consistency was good although the test-retest reliability varied. Preliminary validation of the revised questionnaire suggested significant differences, on both scales, in students' attitudes towards different health professions at the outset of their training. The AHPQ appears to be a useful instrument for the assessment of interprofessional attitudes in the health professions.
本文描述了一种用于调查跨专业态度以及这些态度如何随时间变化的测量方法的开发和初步验证。问卷项目来自与不同健康学院的工作人员进行的“构建练习”，由此产生了一份包含20个条目的“对健康专业人员态度问卷”（AHPQ）。该问卷由来自五个不同健康专业的一年级学生填写。使用主成分分析对其结构进行评估，确定内部一致性并评估重测信度。对这些数据的分析导致对某些项目进行重新措辞/删除，并形成了AHPQ的修订版。修订后的AHPQ由另一组学生填写，并进行了初步验证。对初始AHPQ结构的分析得出了一个包含两个主要成分的解决方案，分别标记为“关怀”和“顺从”，尽管重测信度有所不同，但总体内部一致性良好。修订后问卷的初步验证表明，在培训开始时，学生对不同健康专业的态度在两个量表上均存在显著差异。AHPQ似乎是评估健康专业中跨专业态度的一种有用工具。
