Assessing competency in less invasive surfactant administration: simulation-based validity evidence for the LISA-AT scores.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Less Invasive Surfactant Administration Assessment Tool (LISA-AT) was developed to support operator training and competence assessment. This study aimed to gather validity evidence in the simulated setting to support using the LISA-AT scores.

Methods

Validity evidence was gathered using the Messick framework. The lowest quartile (Q1) for the median of the experts' LISA-AT scores defined the minimum passing score.

Results

Ten experts and 23 novices were enrolled in this study. Eight of the original 15 LISA-AT metrics effectively discriminated between novices and experts and demonstrated high test-retest reliability (Spearman's rho = 0.87), high internal consistency, and good inter-rater reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.88 and 0.82, respectively).
