The Addiction Medicine Training Needs Assessment Scale (AM-TNA), instrumental in developing the ISCAN, is a questionnaire covering 30 core addiction medicine competencies, measuring training needs, gaps, and progress in addiction competencies. This PhD thesis covers five studies describing the AM-TNA scale's development and validation process. The introduction elaborates on the epidemiological and educational context of addiction. The first study used a small sample size but showed that the AM-TNA scale could effectively guide the ISCAN curriculum design process and had some initial psychometric value. The second study confirmed the initial psychometric value and explored the position of the AM-TNA scale in the evolving science of addiction. The sample size was identified as one of the significant challenges in establishing the psychometric value of the AM-TNA scale. The third study pooled data from four countries, resulting in a larger sample size. This study credibly demonstrated the validity and reliability of the AM-TNA. The fourth study examined the scale's efficacy in a small local training setting and found that the AM-TNA measured increased addiction competence over four-year groups of psychiatry specialists in training. The AM-TNA should be triangulated and used from the perspective of the learning experience. The fifth study examined the link between doctors' stigmatizing attitudes towards people with addiction and perceived training needs. The study confirmed that doctors' attitudes predict their knowledge and skills training in addiction, highlighting the need for integrated training of knowledge, skills, and attitudes in medical education. Key findings, implications, and future research avenues are discussed. It is concluded that the AM-TNA is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing training needs, gaps, and progress in addiction medicine.","Radboud University, 29 april 2024","Promotores : Jong, C.A.J. de, Hutschemaekers, G.J.M., Nijman, H.L.I.","179 p."]},{"key":"dc:title","label":"Title","values":["Mind the gap: Validation of the Addiction Medicine Training Needs Assessment Scale"]}]}],"canonical_facts":{"dc:contributor":["Jong, C.A.J. de","Hutschemaekers, G.J.M.","Nijman, H.L.I."],"dc:creator":["Pinxten, W.J.L."],"dc:date":["2024"],"dc:description":["Contains fulltext : 304298.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)","To improve the number and quality of the Indonesian addiction workforce, a short course in addiction medicine (ISCAN) was tailored from the healthcare provider's perspective.
