Abstract: (234 Views)
Background: Operating room technologists are crucial in ensuring patient safety in surgical units. The study aims to assess the validation of the observational performance assessment tool related to patient safety using a tool, the World Health Organization Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (WHOBARS), among operating room technologists in Iran.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences. The WHOBARS tool was designed based on the surgical safety checklist of the World Health Organization. In the first step, the translation-back translation process was done and the external validity of the tool was confirmed. In the next step, content and face validity were evaluated qualitatively. Quantitative content validity was evaluated through two indices: content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI). The reliability of the tool was measured by two methods of internal consistency and test-retest. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, percentage, standard deviation) by SPSS 26 software.
Results: With the agreement of all experts in the first phase of the study, the face and content validity of the tool was confirmed. All items of the tool obtained CVR higher than 0.49 and CVI higher than 0.79 which were retained in the tool. Finally, the quantitative and qualitative validity of the 15-item performance measurement tool was confirmed. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was 0.86.
Conclusion: According to the findings, the Iranian version of WHOBARS is a reliable and valid tool for the evaluation of safety performance among operating room technologists.
