Transcultural adaptation of the virtual patient integration rating scale: a factor analysis

The VPIRS-E is a reliable and valid instrument that has maintained the structural integrity of the original scale and has demonstrated strong internal consistency across all of its domains. These results demonstrate the suitability of the VPIRS-E to assess medical students' perceptions of the use of VPs in Spanish-speaking learning contexts. The successful validation of this instrument also opens avenues for expanded international comparative studies, allowing fora deeper understanding of the effective integration of VPs in different medical education curricula.
