Abstract

ABSTRACT Interprofessional education is expanding and emerging as a focus of health profession education. The development of instruments to identify competency of students is needed to improve interprofessional collaboration in patient care. Our purpose was to investigate the individual Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide (JTOG) to determine its psychometric properties. Health profession student data (814 surveys) were analyzed using Rasch Modeling to determine the item and person statistics, unidimensionality, scaling performance, and local independence. The psychometric properties of the instrument were strong, but the current model produced a significant ceiling effect. Adaptations to the instrument were recommended to improve the instruments ability to identify competency and provide individual feedback on performance using a Rasch model. The adapted JTOG has strong psychometric properties to help facilitate reflection and to promote collaborative practice competency.
