BackgroundA standardized patient is a healthy person, trained to role-play a patient who gives feedback on the performance of the student. During the clinical skills training of students, the performance of a standardized patient is essential for the effectiveness of clinical education. MethodsIn this study, we have developed and determined the psychometric properties and standard-setting of the 9-item "Standardized Patient Performance Rating Scale – Student Version," which is designed for assessing the individual performance of standardized patients. For the scale development process, 702 medical students and seven educators participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient and split-half reliability coefficient were calculated. For the standard-setting study, the extended Angoff method was used. ResultsAs a result of the exploratory factor analysis, the scale had a single-factor structure as confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.91. The score of a standardized patient at the borderline was 24.11 out of 45.Conclusions"Standardized Patient Performance Rating Scale – Student Version" is a valid and reliable scale for assessing standardized patients' performances, and can be used for the standardized patient selection and evaluation process in the health sciences. |
