Construct validation of the readiness for interprofessional learning scale: A Rasch and factor analysis

In order to improve efficiency and collaboration in healthcare service provision, it is recommended that students engage in interprofessional education; that is, learning with, from and about professions other than one's own profession. Such endeavors are often impeded by pre-existing attitudes; therefore, self-reporting scales such as the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) have often been used in studies to gauge perspectives. The original 19-item version of the RIPLS was completed by 418 undergraduate healthcare students from a large Australian University.

The development of a questionnaire to assess the readiness of health care students for interprofessional learning (RIPLS)

OBJECTIVES: Although shared learning activities are gradually being introduced to health care undergraduates, it has not been possible to measure the effects of educational interventions on students' attitudes.

DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: A questionnaire study of 120 undergraduate students in 8 health care professions.
