Sumario:Purpose: This study aimed to translate and validate the Korean version of the Indiana University Simulation Integration Rubric (K-IUSIR) for assessing interprofessional communication in simulation-based education, focusing on its reliability and validity. Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) improves communication and teamwork skills critical for ensuring patient safety. However, there is a lack of standardized tools for assessing interprofessional communication in Korea. Methods: A methodological study involving a secondary analysis was conducted with 221 nursing and medical students. Data were collected through simulation recordings and surveys and analyzed using Cronbach's α, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), expert content validity, and Rasch analysis. Results: The K-IUSIR demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.854), inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.832), and strong content validity. Rasch analysis confirmed appropriate item fit and difficulty levels, with a 3-point Likert scale identified as the most suitable format. Conclusion: The K-IUSIR is a reliable and valid tool for evaluating interprofessional communication, which can be utilized in developing interprofessional education programs. Furthermore, it can facilitate better interprofessional collaboration through effective communication.
