Meinung oder Methodenartefakt? Zum Einfluss der Antwortskalierung bei der Messung sicherheitspolitischer Einstellungen

Abstract

Objective: In order to verify the methodological quality of two versions of a tool for measuring attitudes towards interprofessional learning, we In the main component analysis the data could not depict the scale patterns of the original Australian tool. The reliability values of both the Heidelberg and Halle versions were only satisfactory for the "Teamwork and Collaboration" and "Professional Identity" scales.

Measuring attitudes towards interprofessional learning. Testing two German versions of the tool "Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale" on interprofessional students of health and nursing sciences and of human medicine

After consulting the Department for General Medicine and Healthcare Research at the University Clinic Heidelberg, it was decided to test both versions.…”
