“…The IPAS is a valid and reliable instrument to measure attitudes about interprofessional learning and is used in different settings and to measure changes through IPE interventions [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. When comparing the pre-and post-training results of both groups in our study, we found a significant improvement in the subscale "teamwork, roles and responsibilities" and in the self-developed interprofessional error communication scale.…”

Background Interprofessional communication is of extraordinary importance for patient safety. To improve interprofessional communication, joint training of the different healthcare professions is required in order to achieve the goal of effective teamwork and interprofessional care. The aim of this pilot study was to develop and evaluate a joint training concept for nursing trainees and medical students in Germany to improve medication error communication. Methods We used a mixed-methods, quasi-experimental study with a pre-post design and two study arms. This study compares medical students (3rd year) and nursing trainees (2nd year) who received an interprofessional communication skills training with simulation persons (intervention group, IG) with a control group (CG). Both cohorts completed identical pre- and post-training surveys using the German Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (G-IPAS) and a self-developed interprofessional error communication scale. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney-U-test and Wilcoxon-test were performed to explore changes in interprofessional error communication. Results A total of 154 were medical students, and 67 were nursing trainees (IG: 66 medical students, 28 nursing trainees / CG: 88 medical students, 39 nursing trainees). After training, there were significant improvements observed in the “interprofessional error communication” scale (p < .001) and the “teamwork, roles, and responsibilities” subscale (p = .012). Median scores of the subscale “patient-centeredness” were similar in both groups and remained unchanged after training (median = 4.0 in IG and CG). Conclusions Future studies are needed to find out whether the training sustainably improves interprofessional teamwork regarding error communication in acute care.

“…CFA assessed the alignment of the empirical data with the theoretical framework underpinning the scale's development, ensuring standardization and theoretical congruence [19,20]. The analysis included evaluating t indices and modeling the construct relationships via path analysis, employing LISREL software for SEM, to rigorously test and con rm the scale's structural integrity and theoretical validity [18,21].…”

Background: This study aims to adapt and validate the Organizational Culture Scale (OCS) by İpek (1999) for higher education institutions in healthcare professional training, emphasizing the unique cultural dimensions within these settings. The importance of organizational culture in academic and scientific progress is highlighted, necessitating precise instruments for its assessment. Methods: The adaptation involved expert consultations across health disciplines, removal of redundant items, and rigorous statistical validation, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, utilizing a sample of 402 students from various health-related faculties. The process was guided by established practices, including the Lawshe technique for content validity and the "tens" rule for sample size determination. Results: The adapted scale, reduced to 23 items across six factors, demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability. The factor analysis accounted for 47.885% of the variance, with factors named success orientation, organizational belonging, process planning, organizational support, management power, and bureaucratic processes. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the scale's structure, and reliability analysis yielded a Cronbach's alpha of 0.860. Conclusions: The study successfully adapts the OCS for healthcare professional education, offering a reliable and valid tool for assessing organizational culture in this context. The adapted scale provides insights into organizational culture's impact on educational quality, suggesting its use in strategic planning and improvement initiatives. Future research should continue validating the scale across different contexts.
