Development and psychometric testing of a trans-professional evidence-based practice profile questionnaire

Abstract

Background: Previous survey tools operationalising knowledge, attitudes or beliefs about evidence-based practice (EBP) have shortcomings in content, psychometric properties and target audience. Aims: This study developed and psychometrically assessed a self-report trans-professional questionnaire to describe an EBP profile. Methods: Sixty-six items were collated from existing EBP questionnaires and administered to 526 academics and students from health and non-health backgrounds. Principal component factor analysis revealed the presence of five factors (Relevance, Terminology, Confidence, Practice and Sympathy). Following expert panel review and pilot testing, the 58-item final questionnaire was disseminated to 105 subjects on two occasions. Test-retest and internal reliability were quantified using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Cronbach's alpha, convergent validity against a commonly used EBP questionnaire by Pearson's correlation coefficient and discriminative validity via analysis of variance (ANOVA) based on exposure to EBP training.

Psychometric Properties of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice on Pharmacogenovigilance in Drug Safety Questionnaire in Medicine and Pharmacy Students: based on Exploratory Factor Analysis

“…This finding is similar to other findings with CVI and CVI far higher than 80% which were recommended minimum acceptable limit for a new tool (Boggess et al, 2011; Ghasemi et Martiniuk et al, 2007;McEvoy et al, 2010;SalcedoRocha et al, 2011). We have not seen published data on the validity and reliability from similar questionnaires which we could compare our findings.…”

“…Therefore, we have compared our results with standard indices like 0.7 for Cronbach"s Alpha and 80% for CVI. Notwithstanding, this finding is similar to other KAP studies (Ghasemi et al, 2012;Grant and Davis, 1997;Johnston et al, 2003;Rosebraugh et al, 2003;Sirajudeen et al, 2012).…”

“…Whereas content validity entails a systematic professional and documented approach to ensure that the instrument measures the intended construct accurately, face validity involves judgment on the appearance and understanding of each item of the instrument. Of significance concerns also are imperfection of assessments based on appearance, heterogeneous perceptions between developers and users, and in some cases counterproductive judgments from appearance might occur (Kimberlin and Winterstein, 2008;Montazeri et al, 2005). This study a separate sample of 20 participants that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were asked to objectively and constructively assess the degree of clarity .…”

Evidence-based Practice Profile Questionnaire — wierność rekonstrukcyjna kwestionariusza do badania wiedzy, postaw i umiejętności w zakresie EBM i EBP w grupie polskich pielęgniarek

“…W światowej literaturze można znaleźć co najmniej kilka tego typu kwestionariuszy: Evidence-Based Practice Profile Questionnaire [6], Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire for Nurses [7,8] czy Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Questionnaire [9]. Pomimo że zakres dostępnych narzędzi badawczych jest szeroki, to według Shaneyfelt i wsp.…”

“…Jednakże, aby podejmowane działania w zakresie kształcenia były efektywne, niezbędna jest ocena kompetencji wyjściowych. W tym celu autorzy niniejszego badania podjęli próbę opracowania i walidacji polskiej wersji językowej EBP 2 Q. Skala służąca do oceny wiedzy i postaw specjalistów nauk o zdrowiu wobec praktyki zawodowej opartej na dowodach naukowych jest adaptacją językową oryginalnego narzę-dzia badawczego przygotowanego w Australii [6]. Jest to pierwszy w Polsce standaryzowany kwestionariusz, który pozwala w sposób kompleksowy ocenić wiedzę, postawy i umiejętności personelu pielęgniarskiego w zakresie EBP.…”
