Abstract:   (6626 Views)
Background: Comprehensive urban health service centers have an important role in disease prevention. However, there is no sufficient information about how these centers protect their assets and manage health, safety and environment (HSE) in their workplaces. On the other hand, there is no suitable tool to assess the HSE status in these centers. This study aimed to design and evaluate the face and content validity of the HSE checklist of urban health service centers.
Methods: All available related literature were reviewed to extract the initial items. A panel of experts was used to assess the content and face validity of the checklist through quantitative and qualitative methods.
Results: The final checklist consists of 11 components and 86 items. The CVR and the impact score of the remaining items ranged from 0.8 to 1 and 1.9 to 5, respectively. The CVI of the instrument was 0.86.
Conclusion: The designed checklist in this study is a suitable valid tool (face and content validity) based on the opinions of the expert panel and the target group. Therefore, it can be used to examine the HSE management situations in urban health service centers.
