Abstract
The Copenhagen burnout inventory-student survey (CBI-SS) has shown promising psychometric properties in diverse student populations. This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Nigerian version of the CBI-SS. This was a cross-sectional study of 635 students from Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was utilized to assess the CBI-SS validity. The reliability score of the CBI-SS was 0.957, ranging from 0.862 to 0.914 for the subscales. Correlation coefficients among the four CBI-SS factors ranged from 0.507 to 0.713. The CFA indicated an adequate goodness-of-fit for the four-factor model of the CBI-SS with the sample data. However, Item 10 was removed due to unacceptably low Average Variance Extracted score. The four factors demonstrated a negative correlation with both General Academic Self-Efficacy Scale and Cumulative Grade Point Average. Furthermore, both self-reported burnout and perceived course stress showed associations with the CBI-SS, where lower levels of burnout corresponded with lower median scores on the CBI-SS scales. This study underscores the significance of the CBI-SS in evaluating student burnout within our student population. The findings indicate that the CBI-SS is a highly reliable and valid instrument for assessing student burnout, suggesting its potential for effective utilization in the Nigerian academic context.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The correlation between the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2) has not previously been assessed in Norwegian infants. Our purpose was to investigate the concurrent validity of the AIMS and the PDMS-2 in a group of high-risk infants, and to investigate the predictive validity of the two tests for atypical motor function at 24 months post term age (PTA). METHODS This is a retrospective study of the AIMS and the PDMS-2 administered to infants born preterm with gestational age ≤ 32 weeks (n = 139) who had participated in a randomized controlled trial of early parent-administered physiotherapy. The infants' motor development had been assessed using the AIMS and the PDMS-2 at 6- and 12-months. The primary outcome was PDMS-2 at 24-months PTA. To explore the correlation between the two tests we used Spearman's rho. Bland Altman plots were used to detect if there were systematic differences between the measurements. Receiver-operating characteristics curves were used to calculate area under the curve as an estimate of diagnostic accuracy of the AIMS and the PDMS- with respect to motor outcome at 24 months. RESULTS The correlation between the AIMS and the PDMS-2 (total motor and locomotion subscale), at 6 months, was r = 0.44 and r = 0.76, and at 12 months r = 0.56 and r = 0.80 respectively. The predictive validity for atypical motor function at 24 months, assessed using the area under the curve at 6- and at 12- months, was for the AIMS 0.87 and 0.86, respectively, and for the PDMS-2 locomotion subscale 0.82 and 0.76 respectively. CONCLUSION The correlation between the AIMS and the PDMS-2 locomotion subscale, at 6- and 12- months PTA, was good to excellent in a group of infants born preterm in Norway. And the AIMS and the locomotion subscale of the PDMS-2 were equally good predictors for atypical motor outcomes at 24 months PTA. These findings indicate that the AIMS and the locomotion subscale of the PDM-2, could be used interchangeable when assessing motor development in infants at 6- or 12 months of age.

Abstract
This study assessed the psychometric properties of the culturally inclusive instructional design (CIID) scale with 31 items on a 7-point Likert scale. The data were collected from the training (N = 55) and validating samples (N = 80) of K-20 educators. Data analysis employed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). EFA results revealed a clear five-factor structure, and the CFA results indicated good factor loadings. The reliability indices were .95 and .94 for the training and validation samples, respectively. The significant correlations among the factors indicated the five subscales measuring on the same CIID construct. In contrast, a non-perfect correlation presented a discriminating power for each subscale measuring the unique dimension of the construct. The study results established the validity and reliability of the instrument to measure culturally inclusive instructional design with implications for the design and development of online learning for cultural inclusivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Motion analysis of surgical maneuvers provides useful quantitative information for the objective evaluation of the surgeons. However, surgical simulation laboratories for laparoscopic training do not usually integrate devices that help quantify the level of skills of the surgeons due to their limited resources and the high costs of new technologies. The purpose of this study is to present the construct and concurrent validity of a low-cost motion tracking system, based on a wireless triaxial accelerometer, employed to objectively evaluate psychomotor skills of surgeons during laparoscopic training. METHODS An accelerometry system, a wireless three-axis accelerometer with appearance of wristwatch, was placed on the dominant hand of the surgeons to register the motion during the laparoscopy practice with the EndoViS simulator, which simultaneously recorded the motion of the laparoscopic needle driver. This study included the participation of 30 surgeons (6 experts, 14 intermediates and 10 novices) who performed the task of intracorporeal knot-tying suture. Using 11 motion analysis parameters (MAPs), the performance of each participant was assessed. Subsequently, the scores of the three groups of surgeons were statistically analyzed. In addition, a validity study was conducted comparing the metrics between the accelerometry-tracking system and the EndoViS hybrid simulator. RESULTS Construct validity was achieved for 8 of the 11 metrics examined with the accelerometry system. Concurrent validity demonstrated that there is a strong correlation between the results of the accelerometry system and the EndoViS simulator in 9 of 11 parameters, showing reliability of the accelerometry system as an objective evaluation method. CONCLUSION The accelerometry system was successfully validated. This method is potentially useful to complement the objective evaluation of surgeons during laparoscopic practice in training environments such as box-trainers and simulators.

Abstract
AIM Competency-based medical education has become increasingly prevalent among surgical accreditation bodies that conduct assessments to ensure the competency of future professionals and judge the adequacy of training programs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional study to validate an instrument to evaluate entrustable professional activities (EPA) according to the Single Program of Medical Specialties through content and construct validity by expert judgment, and internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS Four of the rubrics scored high to optimal for univocity and relevance. Only one rubric had to be modified in two of its items. Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's alpha of 0.97). When applying the instrument, the residents showed differences in the level of competence according to postgraduate year, identifying better performance in the last year. DISCUSSION The instrument was validated with a high degree of reliability in univocity and relevance, and high internal consistency. The residents demonstrated appropriate EPA to manage surgical patients safely, efficiently, with quality and warmth. The ability to reach the strategic level of performance is the main component of the competency-based medical education through the EPA.

Abstract
Background Access to oral health services remains a challenge in the Brazilian healthcare system, especially in the primary health care setting, where the use of a risk stratification tool that could identify individuals with higher dental vulnerability would be extremely valuable. However, there literature on this theme is scarce, and there is no validated instrument in Brazil that is capable of measuring dental vulnerability. Hence, this psychometric study aimed at the development and evaluation of content and internal structure validity of the Dental Vulnerability Scale for Primary Health Care (PHC). Methods The items were developed based on a qualitative exploratory analysis. A total of 172 items were prepared and submitted to a panel of specialists, with content validity analyzed with the Content Validity Ratio (CVR), resulting in an the initial version of the instrument composed by 41 items. Internal structure validity was analyzed by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and by applying 3 reliability indicators (Cronbach’s Alpha, McDonald's Omega and Greatest Lower Bound – GBL), with a sample of 1227 individuals. Results The final configuration indicated a scale of 15 items divided into 4 dimensions (overall health, oral health, infrastructure, and healthcare services) with explained variance of 72.11%. The factor loads varied from 0.37 to 0.96. The model adjustment indices were set at × 2/df(51) = 3.23, NNFI = 0.95, CFI = 0.98, GFI = 0.96, AGFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.04 and RMSR = 0.03. Conclusion DVS presented satisfactory evidence of validity, indicating its suitability to be used by healthcare professionals, students and managers to plan oral health actions and services at PHC.

Abstract
The recent launch of the first point-of-care Xpert® hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load kit from Cepheid could help to scale up treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to assess the performance of the Xpert kit under field conditions in Ethiopia. One-hundred-and-thirty CHB patients with viral loads ranging from <1 log10 to>7 log10 IU/mL were randomly sampled. The viral load was assessed with both the Xpert and the gold standard Abbott RealTime HBV Viral Load assay in each patient. There was a high correlation between the viral loads assessed by Xpert and Abbott (r = 0.948, p < 0.001). The Bland-Altman plot showed a small bias between the two assays, with an on average 0.23 log10 IU/mL higher viral load result of the Xpert kit; 4 samples differed by>1 log10 IU/mL. Using the treatment threshold of 2000 IU/mL in both tests, Xpert had a sensitivity of 94 %, specificity of 71 %, positive predictive value of 70 %, and negative predictive value of 95 %. In conclusion, the Xpert kit demonstrated good validity for the measurement of HBV viral load in a real-life setting.

Abstract
Introduction Performance of “Revere”, a novel iPad-administered word-list recall (WLR) test, in quantifying deficits in verbal episodic memory, was evaluated versus examiner-administered Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) in patients with mild cognitive impairment and cognitively normal participants. Methods Elderly patients with clinically diagnosed mild cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment score 24–27) and cognitively normal (Montreal Cognitive Assessment score ≥28) were administered RAVLT or Revere in a randomized crossover design. Results A total of 153/161 participants (Revere/RAVLT n = 75; RAVLT/Revere n = 78) were randomized; 148 (97%) completed study; 121 patients (mean [standard deviation] age: 70.4 [7.84] years) were included for analysis. Word-list recall scores (8 trials) were comparable between Revere and RAVLT (Pearson's correlation coefficients: 0.12–0.70; least square mean difference [Revere-RAVLT]: −0.84 [90% CI, −1.15; −0.54]). Model factor estimates indicated trial (P < .001), period (P < .001) and evaluation sequence (P = .038) as significant factors. Learning over trials index and serial position effects were comparable. Discussion Participants' verbal recall performance on Revere and RAVLT were equivalent.
