Existing attitude scales on interprofessional education (IPE) focus on students' attitudes toward the concepts of teamwork and opportunities for IPE but fail to examine student perceptions of the learning modality that also plays an important role in the teaching and learning process. The purpose of this present study was to test the psychometric characteristics of the KidSIM Attitude Towards Teamwork in Training Undergoing Designed Educational Simulation (ATTITUDES) questionnaire developed to measure student perceptions of and attitudes toward IPE, teamwork, and simulation as a learning modality.
A total of 196 medical, nursing, and respiratory therapy students received a 3-hour IPE curriculum module that focused on 2 simulation-based team training scenarios in emergency and intensive care unit settings. Each multiprofessional group of students completed the 30-item ATTITUDES questionnaire before participating in the IPE curriculum and the same questionnaire again as a posttest on completion of the high-fidelity simulation, team-based learning sessions.
The internal reliability of the ATTITUDES questionnaire was α = 0.95. The factor analysis supports a 5-factor solution accounting for 61.6% of the variance: communication (8 items), relevance of IPE (7 items), relevance of simulation (5 items), roles and responsibilities (6 items), and situation awareness (4 items). Aggregated and profession-specific analysis of students' responses using paired sample t tests showed significant differences from the pretest to the posttest for all questionnaire items and subscale measures (P < 0.001).
The KidSIM ATTITUDES questionnaire provides a reliable and construct valid measure of student perceptions of and attitudes toward IPE, teamwork, and simulation as a learning modality.
现有的关于医学生团队合作和参与医学生团队合作机会的态度量表，仅关注学生对团队合作概念的态度，而未能考察学生对学习模式的看法，而学习模式在教学过程中也起着重要作用。本研究的目的是测试 KidSIM 态度量表（ATTITUDES）的心理测量学特征，该量表旨在衡量学生对医学生团队合作、团队合作和模拟作为一种学习模式的看法和态度。
共有 196 名医学生、护理专业学生和呼吸治疗专业学生接受了 3 小时的医学生团队合作课程模块，该模块侧重于急诊和重症监护环境中的 2 个基于模拟的团队培训场景。每一组多专业学生在参与医学生团队合作课程之前完成 30 项 ATTITUDES 问卷，在完成高保真模拟、团队学习课程后再次完成该问卷作为后测。
ATTITUDES 问卷的内部可靠性为α=0.95。因素分析支持 5 因素解决方案，占总方差的 61.6%：沟通（8 项）、医学生团队合作的相关性（7 项）、模拟的相关性（5 项）、角色和责任（6 项）和情境意识（4 项）。使用配对样本 t 检验对学生的总体和专业特定反应进行分析，显示所有问卷项目和子量表测量的前后测之间差异均有统计学意义（P < 0.001）。
KidSIM ATTITUDES 问卷提供了一种可靠且具有结构有效性的测量工具，可用于衡量学生对医学生团队合作、团队合作和模拟作为一种学习模式的看法和态度。
