AITCS as a Reliable Instrument for Evaluating IPC (Interprofessional Collaboration): A Systematic Review

This study aims to summarize, evaluate, and systematically describe AITCS instruments as well as find the most appropriate collaborative practice assessment instruments for measuring IPC. A systematic literature review was conducted on 4 databases namely PubMed, Science Direct, Wiley, and Ebsco. The last 8 years of articles written in English related to the use of AITCS in evaluating/measuring IPE were gathered. Based on 8 articles analyzed, AITCS had undergone several development processes. AITCS (37 items) had been shortened to 23 items (AITCS II). AITCS had been adapted and developed in Swedish and Japanese versions. Various articles showed the overall Cronbach alpha value ranged from 0.89 to 0.98. Each item rated has a Cronbach alpha > 0.70 (acceptable). Thus, this study indicates that AITCS will continue to be developed in the future for it is an appropriate instrument that can be used to evaluate IPE
