Summary
A new retinoscopy rubric was developed and validated for ophthalmic education. This standardized tool enhances objective refraction assessment and improves consistency in training, ultimately benefiting patient care.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology and Optometry
- Medical Education
Background:
- Retinoscopy is a crucial ophthalmic technique for assessing refractive errors and ocular abnormalities.
- Standardized assessment tools for retinoscopy are lacking in optometric and ophthalmic education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a comprehensive rubric for retinoscopy.
- To address the need for standardized assessment in ophthalmic training.
Main Methods:
- A retinoscopy rubric was developed.
- Face and content validity were assessed by international optometry educators.
- Interobserver reliability was determined using Cohen's alpha.
Main Results:
- The final rubric includes 19 performance criteria items.
- The rubric demonstrated high face validity (95.71% agreement) and content validity (S-CVI/Ave = 0.99).
- Most items showed moderate to strong interobserver reliability.
Conclusions:
- The validated retinoscopy rubric is a reliable tool for assessing objective refraction skills.
- This rubric can enhance ophthalmic education by providing a consistent assessment framework.
- Improved training through this rubric can lead to better patient care.

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
