Excellent reliability and validity of the Addiction Medicine Training Need Assessment Scale across four countries

Abstract: Background: Addiction is a context-specific but common and devastating condition. Though several evidence-based treatments are available, many of them remain under-utilized, among others due to the lack of adequate training in addiction medicine (AM). AM Training needs may differ across countries because of difference in discipline and level of prior AM training or contextual factors like epidemiology and availability of treatment. For appropriate testing of training needs, reliability and validity are key iss… Show more

“…Moreover, expression of culture and training needs may reflect other low-income countries as the need and cultural background (10). A number of studies from different context and cultural background have reported similar psychometric properties (16,25,26). Therefore, the findings of this study suggest that the modified TNAQ that took into account the Tanzanian national guidelines on RMNH care, participants' culture including Kiswahili have acceptable reliability, design and content validity.…”

“…As noted above, the tool was adapted from that developed by Hennessy-Hicks [ 14 , 19 ], which has been psychometrically tested for reliability and validity and adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) [ 19 ]. Several other TNA questionnaires were considered, including the Professional Nurse Self-Assessment Scale of Clinical Core Competencies [ 20 ], Addiction Medicine Training Needs Analysis Scale [ 21 ], and Community Competence-based Questionnaire [ 22 ]. However, the Hennessy-Hicks TNAQ was selected because it was developed specifically to evaluate healthcare professionals’ training requirements and facilitate subsequent use of the findings to prioritize and meet local training needs [ 19 ].…”

Therefore, we also assessed the validity of the TNAQ to determine the degree to which the instrument could measure what it was is supposed to measure.…”
