Abstract
This study examined the validity and reliability of the self-assessment scale of clinical reasoning in occupational therapy (SA-CROT). We conducted Rasch model analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, hypothesis testing, and examination of reliability with 135 occupational therapy students and 138 occupational therapists in Japan. The results showed that the 14 items and five rating stages of the SA-CROT fit the Rasch model, and the 4-factor model fit the confirmatory factor analysis. Hypothesis testing showed that the predicted results were obtained, thus confirming the validity of SA-CROT. In addition, test-retest reliability and internal consistency met the criterion values, confirming the reliability of SA-CROT.
