Research Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop and test a Partnership Development Process Assessment (PDPA) tool for content and construct validity and internal consistency reliability. The study was conducted in three phases. First, 10 semi-structured interviews were conducted to generate items for a new tool. Second, 30 items were generated and reviewed by an expert panel for content validity (CV) and item refinement. A national postal survey of public health nurses was conducted to determine the tool's internal structure, evaluate its reliability, and explore its correlations with other variables.Twenty-six items were selected and grouped into four factors: activities to share roles to manage community health issues, platform activities to support partnerships, activities to evaluate partnership practices, and activities to share information regarding community health issues. After factor analysis, 23 items were included.
