Abstract:
Objective:To translate the Maastricht Clinical Teaching Questionnaire (MCTQ) into Chinese and evaluate its reliability and validity in standardized training of residents.Methods:The Chinese version of MCTQ was obtained according to the Brislin translation model, including translation, back-translation, and cross-cultural debugging. A convenient sampling survey was carried out among the trainees in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University in June 2022 by using an online survey tool. A total of 562 valid questionnaires were collected. Data from valid survey questionnaires were subjected to item analysis (critical ratio method), reliability analysis (Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability), structural validity analysis (exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis), and discriminant validity analysis using SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0 software.Results:The Chinese version of MCTQ scale consisted of 24 items, which was consistent with the original scale. Four common factors were extracted with a cumulative variance contribution of 79.96%. The four-factor model demonstrated high goodness of fit. The χ2/d f, RMR, RMSEA, GFI, AGFI, NFI, and CFI were 3.491, 0.008, 0.067, 0.886, 0.861, 0.947, and 0.962, respectively. Both Cronbach's α and composite reliability exceeded 0.7, indicating high internal consistency and reliability. The correlation coefficients between the four factors ranged from 0.265 to 0.307, all of which were smaller than the corresponding square roots of average variance extracted, demonstrating high structural and discriminant validity. Conclusions:The Chinese version of MCTQ is valid and reliable in the Chinese context and can serve as a useful tool to evaluate the performance of clinical teachers during standardized residency training.
