Background: The authors discuss the components of clinical research and GCP training programs in successful medical education curricula and introduce a development of clinical research scale first time for evaluation in medical and clinical pharmacology clinical research practices.
Methods: “Retrospective descriptive research” method was preferred for data collection and classification. The study group consists of third grade medical students who volunteered to be evaluated. These students were asked to fill in the form, and the pool of statements was compiled. Literature screening and expression pools selected words, were converted into sentences with attitude expression. A 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 12 items was prepared through the questionnaire study. The scale study with 150 students was included. Sample size was calculated in order to evaluate the correlation of item total score.
Results: The sample size was “very good” (KMO=0.864). Barlett’s test of shericity (p<0.001) was significant. Cronbach’s alpha value of the scale was 0.91. This value indicates that the scale degree is in "very good" for reliability, validity and sample size. This scale is suitable for correlation matrix factor analysis; the sample adequacy degree is "very good". The reliability coefficient of Guttman (rt=0.830) and Spearman-Brown (rsb=0.831), which represent the scale divided into two, were found.
Conclusion: These GCP trainings can be included in the curricula and newly developed scale was able to evaluate students' attitudes towards clinical research and can be used in future education.
