Objective

The objective of this study was to develop and conduct psychometric validation of a tool to assess self-views of a growth mindset and team communication skills among pharmacists.

Design

The Mindset and Team Communication Tool was developed to assess self-views of growth mindset and team communication. The survey consisted of 2 parts: (1) 14 items on growth mindset and (2) 13 items on team communication; a 4-point Likert scale of agreement was used as an option to answer all items.

Setting and participants

The survey was administered to first-year student pharmacists from 2017 to 2019. The participants completed a presurvey at the beginning of the semester and a postsurvey at the end of the semester (3-month follow-up period).

Outcome measures

Psychometric validation was performed by assessing the following properties: face and content validity, internal consistency reliability, construct validity, test-retest reliability, responsiveness validity, and convergent validity.

Results

A total of 174 participants completed both the pre- and postsurvey (response rate = 92.7%). Internal consistency reliability demonstrated a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.827. Construct validity showed that all measures, except for 6 items, loaded highly onto 2 components. Test-retest reliability revealed a statistically significantly positive relationship between the pre- and postsurvey scores. Responsiveness validity demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the score when an intervention was provided. Convergent validity showed no correlation between the tool score and course grades.

Conclusion

The Mindset and Team Communication Tool demonstrated validity and reliability across a robust set of psychometric values and provides a foundation to describe pharmacists’ self-views and explore associations of these views with behavior in teamwork-based environments.

成长心态和团队沟通工具的心理计量学验证，用于衡量成长心态和团队沟通技巧的自我看法。

目的

这项研究的目的是开发和进行心理计量学验证的工具，以评估药剂师之间对成长心态的自我看法和团队沟通技巧。

设计

心态和团队沟通工具的开发是为了评估成长心态和团队沟通的自我看法。该调查包括两个部分：（1）关于成长心态的14个项目和（2）关于团队沟通的13个项目；4点李克特协议量表用作回答所有项目的选项。

设置和参与者

该调查于2017年至2019年对一年级学生药师进行了管理。参与者在学期开始时完成了预调查，在学期结束时完成了后调查（3个月的随访期）。

结果指标

通过评估以下属性进行心理计量学验证：面部和内容的效度，内部一致性的信度，结构的效度，重测信度，响应度效度和收敛效度。

结果

共有174名参与者完成了调查前和调查后（回复率= 92.7％）。内部一致性可靠性表明Cronbachα系数为0.827。构造效度表明，除6个项目外，所有衡量指标均对2个组成部分高度重视。重测信度显示调查前和调查后得分之间在统计学上呈显着正相关。当提供干预措施时，反应性效度显示评分有统计学上的显着提高。收敛效度显示工具得分与课程等级之间没有相关性。

结论

心态和团队沟通工具展示了一套强大的心理测量值的有效性和可靠性，并为描述药剂师的自我观点并探索这些观点与基于团队合作的环境中的行为之间的联系提供了基础。
