This scoping review summarized literature identified by searching MEDLINE and EMBASE comparing 1) OSCEs and written tests and 2) in-person and online OSCEs, for assessing health professional trainees' competencies. For Q1, 21 studies satisfied inclusion criteria. The most examined health profession was medical trainees (19, 90.5%), the comparison was most frequently OSCEs versus multiple-choice questions (MCQs) (18, 85.7%), and 18 (87.5%) examined the same competency domain. Most (77.5%) total score correlation coefficients between testing methods were weak (r < 0.40). For Q2, 13 articles were included. In-person and online OSCEs were most used for medical trainees (9, 69.2%), checklists were the most prevalent evaluation scheme (7, 63.6%), and 14/17 overall score comparisons were not statistically significantly different. Generally low correlations exist between MCQ and OSCE scores, providing insufficient evidence as to whether OSCEs provide sufficient value to be worth their additional cost. Online OSCEs may be a viable alternative to in-person OSCEs for certain competencies where technical challenges can be met.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":"46 3","pages":"213-224"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10443966/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10075023","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}

The value of single-point-in-time assessments has been questioned, and a shift to longitudinal assessments (LA) has been undertaken to assess lifelong learning over-time. This scoping review was conducted to inform healthcare certifying organizations who are considering LA as an assessment tool of competence and lifelong learning in healthcare professionals. A search of 6 databases and grey literature yielded 957 articles. After screening and removal of duplicates, 14 articles were included. Most articles were background studies informing the underpinnings of LA in the form of progress testing, pilot studies, and process of implementation. Progress testing is used in educational settings. Pilot studies reported satisfaction with LA's ease of use, online format, and provision of lifelong learning. Implementation processes reveal that key aspects of success include stakeholder participation, phased rollout, and a publicly available content outline. Initial outcomes data affirm that LA addresses knowledge gaps, and results in improved performance on maintenance of certification exams. Future research is needed to substantiate validity evidence of LA and its correlation with high-stakes exam performance when assessing lifelong learning and continued competence of healthcare professionals over time.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":"46 3","pages":"199-212"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10075024","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}

We investigated the roles the DR-ED listserv plays within the medical education community. We asked, Who subscribes? Why do they subscribe? and How do they use the listserv? We conducted a mixed-methods evaluation of the DR-ED listserv based on message content analysis and user surveys. We found the DR-ED listserv fulfills medical educators' need to network collegially; keep current with issues and ideas in the field; share solutions to problems; share resources; and advertise development opportunities. We found two types of listserv engagement: a) one-way engagement by using it as a resource, or two-way engagement by using and sharing resources. Our findings also highlight the value users attribute to virtual resources and the role listservs can play as economical professional development in a time of constrained costs, and our analysis methods can be used to guide future listserv evaluations. We conclude the relatively easy access to a global medical education listserv is one strategy to create a community of practice for medical education practitioners.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":"46 3","pages":"233-241"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10453037","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}

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 438 chronically ill patients in Rafsanjan, Iran from May to November 2019. The American version of the PAM-13 was translated into Persian using a standardized forward-backward translation method. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, face and content validity, as well as construct validity (structural and convergent validity) were all assessed. The content validity index of the Patient Activation Measure-13 Persian (PAM-13-P) was 0.91. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the PAM-13-P had a meaningful structural validity. The PAM-13-P scores were negatively correlated with the Partner in Health Measure (PIH) (r = -0.29, p < 0.001). In addition, the PAM13-P scores were positively correlated with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (r = 0.31, p < 0.001). The internal consistency was 0.88, and the repeatability was excellent [Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC):0.96 and confidence interval (CI): 0.94-0.98].

Second, the response efficiency of the items and their association with external variables were evaluated. Third, the basic properties of the scores for the subscales' dimensions of the AOAOPHSS were identified using non-parametric Mokken Scaling Analysis (MSA). Fourth, the Structural Equation Modeling methodology was used to identify the properties of the internal structure of the latent construct. Finally, reliability and internal consistency were evaluated at both score and item levels. The following findings emerged. 13 items with inefficient response options were removed, and 24 were retained using the MSA. The latent structure of the latter was defined based on 21 items of five Accessibility Subscale dimensions. Its internal consistency reliability ranged between 0.67 and 0.81 (omega coefficients) and between 0.61 and 0.78 (alpha coefficients).
