This study aimed to develop and validate a new tool, the renal dosing questionnaire (RDQ-13), for pharmacists working across hospital, community, and retail pharmacy settings. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2023 among pharmacists working in different settings. The RDQ-13 scale consists of 3-sections, encompassing demographic details, a knowledge section with 6 domains, each having 4 questions with the choice of \u201cyes\/no,\u201d an attitude section featuring a Likert scale for 4 items, and a perception section featuring a Likert scale for 3 items. The assessment of construct and discriminative validity was performed along with testing for reliability. The average variance extracted value and the composite reliability value were used for convergent validity. A total of 65 pharmacists completed the RDQ-13, but at retest n\u2005=\u20052 participants were dropped (response rate at retest was 96.9%). Exploratory factor analysis revealed 3-factor loadings with 59.1% of the variance, whereas the Kaiser\u2013Mayer\u2013Olkin value was 0.60. The Cronbach alpha value of 0.700 indicates good internal consistency, whereas the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the test and retest showed that most domains\/scores were statistically significant (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u2005&lt;\u2005.001), showing an excellent agreement between the test and retest. The RDQ-13 underwent extensive validation through a cross-sectional survey, demonstrating high content and face validity. The scale showed consistent responses over time (test\u2013retest stability) and good internal consistency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/md.0000000000041004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,20]],"date-time":"2024-12-20T20:02:44Z","timestamp":1734724964000},"page":"e41004","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Development
