Confirmatory factor analyses offered support for the intended structure of both instruments and the pattern of associations with the other investigated variables further sustained their validity. Reliability was optimal, as revealed by excellent internal consistency estimates. For the first time, the invariance of these instruments was tested based on gender and psychiatric diagnosis.

Prescriptions for chronic diseases and emergency department visits were significantly decreased among S1 and S2 patients after the iHBMC program (Effectiveness). Among all institutions delivering home healthcare, the majority were clinics (74%), followed by home nursing care agencies (18.3%) and hospitals (7.5%) (Adoption).

In Study 1 (n = 541), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability testing of the short-form versions of the DASS were performed, and their convergent validity with life satisfaction and mental well-being was examined.

Results demonstrated that all short-form versions retained the three-factor structure of the original DASS-21, with overall sufficient fit indices, especially the 9-item model. Reliability metrics confirmed internal consistency (all Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega ≥0.70). Convergent validity analyses indicated strong correlations between the short-form versions of DASS-21 (min = 0.675, max = 0.956) and associated psychological constructs, aligning with theoretical expectations.

However, no validated scales assessing Instagram addiction exist in the Indian context. The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of the 15-item Instagram Addiction Scale (IAS-15) among Indian adults. In total, 301 participants (Mage = 22.89 years) were recruited using a convenience sampling technique. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the two components of the IAS-15, social effect and compulsion, had suitable factor loadings: CMIN/DF (chi-square/degree of freedom) = 2.531, GFI (goodness of fit index) = 0.903, IFI (incremental fit index) = 0.965, TLI (Tucker-Lewis index) = 0.958, CFI (comparative fit index) = 0.965, and RMSEA (root mean square error of approximation) = 0.071. This was further improved by drawing covariances between theoretically linked items (CMIN/DF = 2.273, GFI = 0.916, IFI = 0.972, TLI = 0.965, CFI = 0.971, and RMSEA = 0.065). Strong convergent validity with a significant and positive correlation with social media addiction (r = 0.899), and strong concurrent validity with depression (r = 0.778), anxiety (r = 0.777), stress (r = 0.815), and negative correlations with self-esteem (r = -0.635) were observed. The IAS-15 demonstrated excellent internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's omega (ω) coefficients of reliability for the overall scale (α = 0.962 and ω = 0.963) and its two subscales, social effect (α = 0.941 and ω = 0.942) and compulsion (α = 0.922 and ω = 0.922).

Medicine residents evaluated attending physicians (2013-2024) on eight teaching domains (clarity, supervision, skills, decision-making, expectations, feedback, approachability and overall effectiveness). Overall teaching effectiveness was dichotomized into \"highly rated\" (scores of 5) and \"poorly rated\" (scores of ≤3). We assessed correlates of highly and poorly rated attending physicians using generalized latent and linear and mixed methods. Validity and reliability were assessed using factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha and intra-class correlation coefficients. Among 20,150 evaluations of 668 attending physicians by 814 residents, 67% were rated highly (n = 12,801) and 9% were poorly rated (n = 1,754). Highly rated attendings explained decisions (OR: 5.1, 95% CI: 3.l-7.0), were clear (OR: 3.2, 95% CI: 2.4-4.4), approachable (OR: 2.9, 95% CI: 2.2-3.9) and demonstrated skills (OR: 3.2, 95% CI: 2.4-4.3). Poorly rated attending physicians received multiple poor ratings (74%) and lower scores on all teaching domains. Ratings were reliable and consistent, but had low levels of agreement by residents. We conclude that attending physicians were commonly highly rated. While uncommon, poor ratings are better discriminators of teaching quality than highly rated ones.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":" ","pages":"1632787251377057"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144948431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our comprehensive search strategy was developed and used in 15 databases to identify peer-reviewed articles from 1999 to 2023 that focused on using CA to evaluate health interventions. We then implemented rigorous double- and triple-screening processes for abstracts and full-text papers, respectively. Data were extracted and narratively summarized. Our review found seven relevant studies, which showed that CA has been employed in health promotion programs, health policies, and targeted health issues such as nutrition, cardiovascular disease, substance misuse, and suicide prevention. The studies identified strengths of using CA, including its flexible impact evaluation approach, capacity to inform decision-making, and potential to enhance understanding of health programs and policies. However, challenges such as how to determine suitable evidence levels and how to best manage resource intensity were also identified. The limited number of studies indicates that CA is still a novel approach, whereas the variation in the reporting of the studies suggests that this approach could benefit from more standardized methods and detailed stakeholder engagement strategies.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":" ","pages":"363-373"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12274561/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142153502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the present study examined the psychometric properties of the Thai version of the Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport Scale (TAPAS).

The CFA showed robust psychometric properties for the Thai version of TAPAS regarding its unidimensional structure. The TAPAS was measurement invariant across sex, weight status, and daily hours of exercise. However, no significant Pearson correlations were found. In general, the results showed that the TAPAS is a good scale for assessing PA avoidance among Thai young adults across different sexes, weight status, and daily hours of exercise.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":" ","pages":"308-319"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141987725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
