The validity and reliability of the Dutch version of the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLC) for pharmacy technicians

This study suggests that the Dutch version of the SCLC is a moderately reliable and valid tool for assessing pharmacy technicians' satisfaction with education and self-confidence in learning. Given the absence of other validated instruments in this context, this scale offers a useful starting point for evaluating and improving educational programs. However, as the psychometric properties indicated room for improvement and the model fit was moderate, further research with larger samples is needed to refine and confirm the suitability of this questionnaire.

Abstract

This study suggests that the Dutch version of the SCLC is a moderately reliable and valid tool for assessing pharmacy technicians' satisfaction with education and self-confidence in learning. Given the absence of other validated instruments in this context, this scale offers a useful starting point for evaluating and improving educational programs. However, as the psychometric properties indicated room for improvement and the model fit was moderate, further research with larger samples is needed to refine and confirm the suitability of this questionnaire.
