Summary
A new assessment tool was developed and validated to measure professionalism in dental students. This tool demonstrates sufficient reliability and validity for evaluating professional behavior in clinical settings.
Area of Science:
- Dental Education
- Medical Ethics
- Professionalism Assessment
Background:
- Professionalism is crucial for patient trust, compliance, and treatment outcomes.
- Developing reliable tools to assess dental student professionalism is essential.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a psychometric assessment tool for dental student professional behavior.
- To analyze the validity and reliability of the designed tool.
Main Methods:
- An expert panel developed an initial questionnaire, refined through tutor feedback.
- Face and content validity were assessed by dental educators.
- Reliability was determined using weighted-κ coefficient analysis with multiple evaluators.
Main Results:
- The tool achieved 100% overall validity (S-CVI).
- Most items demonstrated sufficient reliability (weighted-κ coefficient ≥ 0.5).
Conclusions:
- The developed assessment tool is valid and reliable for evaluating dental student professionalism.
- The tool can be utilized across various clinical departments in dental schools.

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
