KOMPAK:An instrument for assessing interprofessional collaboration between pharmacists and physicians in Indonesia

The title "KOMPAK: Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of an instrument for assessing interprofessional collaboration between pharmacists and physicians in Indonesia" represents a methodologically sophisticated research endeavour addressing a critical healthcare assessment gap. The strategically crafted acronym KOMPAK, derived from "KOlaborasi Medis Persepsi Apoteker dan doKter" (Medical Collaboration: Perceptions of Pharmacists and Physicians), transcends linguistic representation by embodying the core research objective while simultaneously reflecting the Indonesian cultural nuance of collaborative unity.This pioneering research meticulously transforms an existing Canadian-developed instrument into a culturally contextualized, scientifically validated measurement tool specifically designed for the Indonesian healthcare ecosystem. By implementing a rigorous, multi-phase methodology encompassing comprehensive translation, nuanced cross-cultural adaptation, and advanced psychometric validation, the study aims to generate a standardized, culturally sensitive instrument capable of precisely capturing interprofessional collaboration dynamics between pharmacists and physicians.
