Summary
The Pharmacist Interprofessional Competencies Tool (PICT) demonstrates strong validity and reliability for assessing pharmacy student interprofessional skills. However, the
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Interprofessional Education
- Assessment Tools
Background:
- Interprofessional competencies are crucial for pharmacy students.
- Existing assessment tools may lack specific focus on pharmacy interprofessionalism.
- Development of the Pharmacist Interprofessional Competencies Tool (PICT) was initiated to address this gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the validity and reliability of the Pharmacist Interprofessional Competencies Tool (PICT).
- To assess the psychometric properties of the PICT in evaluating pharmacy students' interprofessional skills.
Main Methods:
- Faculty developed the PICT with five criteria and four competency levels.
- Fourteen faculty members assessed student behaviors in video-recorded interprofessional education (IPE) activities.
- Psychometric analyses included internal consistency, inter-rater reliability, correlation, and factor analysis.
Main Results:
- The PICT showed excellent internal consistency and overall inter-rater reliability.
- Item-total correlations were fair to good, except for the 'respect' criterion.
- PICT dimensions demonstrated high convergence with other validated interprofessional assessment tools.
Conclusions:
- The PICT is a valid and reliable tool for measuring pharmacy students' interprofessional competencies.
- The 'respect' criterion requires further refinement for reliability and validity.
- Future work includes PICT modification and additional training for longitudinal assessment.

01:29Reliability and Validity
13.6K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

01:20Drug Product Performance: In Vitro–In Vivo Correlation
138
In pharmaceutical development, it's crucial to establish a predictive in vitro–in vivo correlation (IVIVC) for two or more formulations to gain a comprehensive understanding of release properties. IVIVC reduces the need for costly in vivo studies and facilitates the establishment of meaningful dissolution specifications with significant cost savings and decreased regulatory burden. Furthermore, a meaningful IVIVC should predict Cmax and AUC within 20%, aligning with FDA guidance while...

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.
