Development and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Clinical Learning Evaluation Questionnaire (CLEQ) in health sciences education

Clinical learning practices bridge the gap between theory and practice. Through clinical learning practices, midwifery students are encouraged to prepare themselves before graduating and working in clinical practice. Evaluation of the clinical learning environment is necessary to create a conducive learning environment. The CLEQ scale has been validated and used in more than 30 countries. The purpose of this study was to translate the CLEQ instrument into Indonesian. CLEQ was translated into Indonesian using international translation rules backward (by two language experts and midwifery experts) and forward (by two language experts and midwifery experts). Validity and reliability tests were conducted. The validity test of the translated CLEQ questionnaire was conducted on 33 respondents using the Corrected Item to Total Correlation method, which correlates each item score and total score and corrects overestimated correlation coefficients (estimates higher than the actual value) to prevent overestimation of the item-total coefficient. The reliability test yielded a value of 0.769.
