Objective: To assess the psychometric properties of the Academic Experience
Satisfaction Scale (ESEA) applied to Pharmacy and Dentistry students and investigate the
effect of demographic and course-related characteristics on the ESEA factors.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Academic satisfaction was assessed by the
ESEA. Construct validity was measured by confirmatory factor analysis (CFI, TLI, RMSEA).
The composite reliability (CR) and the ordinal α were estimated. Structural model was
elaborated considering demographic and course-related characteristics as the
independent variable and ESEA factors as the dependent variables. The model fit and
path estimates significance (β) were evaluated (z test; α = 5%). Results: 544 students
participated in the study (70.0% female; mean age: 21.4 ± 2.4 years; 52.4% dental
students). ESEA showed adequate fit to the data (CFI = 0.90; TLI = 0.90; RMSEA = 0.064,
CR and α ≥ 0.88). In general, students reported being satisfied with their academic
experience. Dental students and those from the first and second years of the course
showed greater satisfaction with the academic experience. Sex did not have a significant
impact on any of the scale's factors. Conclusion: ESEA produced valid and reliable
data. Course-related characteristics, but not demographic characteristics, significantly
affected the academic experience of students.
