| Abstract: | This poster presentation aims to bring evidence from modern psychometric methods to bear on a popularly deployed questionnaire in interprofessional education (IPE) assessment. Specifically, three interrelated problems raised against the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) are examined in a study with n =280 medical and nursing student participants. Firstly, findings indicate a strong, general factor underlying the RIPLS that supports unidimensional interpretations. Secondly, findings support RIPLS overall reliability, but fail to support subscale reliabilities. Thirdly, findings support the RIPLS potential sensitivity to changes with appropriate lower ranges for our pre-training student sample. Recommendations for refinement to the RIPLS include: use of more appropriate reliability indices; factor generalizability; and a subset of items. More generally, refinement is possible, whereas RIPLS disuse or continued misuse with problematic scales is likely to hinder progress in the field of IPE research. |
