Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the internal consistency and factor structure of the therapist achievement evaluation scale based on the attainment of the target of providing physical therapy based on the advice of a tutor. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 48 therapists. Using the therapist achievement evaluation scale, tutors evaluated the subjects. The score ratios were analyzed to investigate the internal consistency, and exploratory factor analysis was performed. [Results] Cronbach’s alpha was 0.86. In the exploratory factor analysis, the following four factors were identified: 1) the explanation, making of clinical documents, document management, and understanding organization; 2) the basic manner, reception, and common sense; the collection of medical information, and safety management; 4) the assessment, and intervention. [Conclusion] The internal consistency of the therapist achievement evaluation scale that we developed was excellent. The results of this study suggest that the therapist achievement evaluation scale is structured on four factors, and perspectives of education after graduation.
