Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to develop and contextualize a competency framework for interprofessional teamwork in Iran. Method: The study was conducted in three phases. First, the competencies of interprofessional teamwork were extracted from the literature. In the second phase, the content validity of the initial framework was assessed by the experts through the Delphi rounds. Content validity ratio (CVR) and item-level content validity index (I-CVI) were used for quantitative analysis. Finally, in the third phase, the importance and utility of interprofessional teamwork competencies were assessed by the experts. Results: Initial framework was constructed with 28 competencies. Quantitative analysis by CVR indicated a score of less than .49 for three items. These items were excluded from the framework. The I-CVI for all items in the framework was higher than .78. The final framework was developed and validated with 16 competencies. Discussion: The developed framework is recommended for teaching and assessment of interprofessional teamwork competencies. © SLACK Incorporated.
