ABSTRACT Objectives: to carry out cultural adaptation and validation of WHO Surgical Safety Checklist: for Radiological Interventions ONLY to Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: a methodological research with the following stages of the cultural adaptation process: translation of the instrument, achievement of a consensus in Portuguese, evaluation by a committee of judges, back-translation, achievement of a consensus in English, comparison with the original version, and a pre-test. The psychometric properties of the adapted version were evaluated through interobserver reliability. Results: the values of the kappa coefficient ranged from moderate to almost perfect in most instrument items, demonstrating that the instrument items were understandable and reliable when applied to the observed context. Conclusions: the cultural adaptation and validation of face and content of the instrument met the criteria of equivalence between the original and the translated instrument. The tool proved to be understandable and feasible and can be applied in invasive radiological procedures in Brazil.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to develop the safe surgery checklist for liver transplantation according to the original model of the World Health Organization and perform content validation. Methods: a methodological research developed in four stages: integrative review; expert participation; consensus among researchers; and content validation using the Delphi technique in two rounds, by five judges. For data analysis, the Content Validation Index was used. Results: the first version of the checklist consisted of four surgical moments with 64 items of verification, with an average Content Validation Index of 0.80. After adjustments, in the second round the checklist maintained four surgical moments with 76 items and a Content Validation Index of 0.87. Conclusions: the checklist was validated and adequate for the safety of liver transplantation in the surgical environment, given that each item established must be mapped and managed for the success and effectiveness of the procedure.

Abstract Objectives: to culturally adapt and validate the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) in Brazilian hospitals. Methods: a methodological study was carried out with consensus techniques and cross-cultural adaptation stages. The original SCC underwent three adaptation and validation stages: 1- nominal group with a panel of experts; 2- consensus conference at two maternity schools, in meetings with professionals who would use the list; 3- pre-test with a structured questionnaire for health professionals from both maternities (n=40) after 30 days of using the checklist. Validation criteria contemplated the content validity, adequated to Brazilian protocols, terminology and feasibility for local context. Results: the adapted SCC in Brazil was called the Lista de Verificação para o Parto Seguro - Brasil (LVPS-BR) (Checklist for Safe Childbirth -Brazil) and included 49 items. In the first stage, the 29 items of the original SCC were approved with some adaptations (e.g. CD4 was replaced by the Rapid HIV Test). In the second stage, some of the 29 items were adjusted and added 24 items more. In the third stage, three items were excluded, two were grouped and one more was added. Conclusions: the validation process provided a potentially useful LVPS for the Brazilian context, presenting validity and feasibility evidences for the Brazilian context.

This expert panel study was conducted from 2018 to 2019 at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. It included 2 phases: developing a framework in 2 steps and forming an expert panel to validate the framework in 3 rounds. We adapted a 3-stage narrative medicine model with 9 training activities from Gagne’s theory, developed a framework, and then produced a checklist to validate the framework in a multidisciplinary expert panel that consisted of 7 experts. The RAND/UCLA appropriateness method was used to assess the experts’ agreement. The first-round opinions were received by email. Consensus was achieved in the second and third rounds through face-to-face meetings to facilitate interactions and discussion among the experts

This dataset is generated from the research study conducted to assess the validity of survey questions about infant and young child feeding (IYCF) received based on maternal recall, using observations of home visits and community-based gatherings attended by mothers of children less than one year of age as the gold standard. The study sample included women with children 0-11 months of age who were visited at home by a frontline worker at least once during a 2-wk period. Frontline workers (FLWs), i.e., Anganwadi workers (AWW) and Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) were followed during home visits, and observations were made of the services provided, particularly whether IYCF counseling was provided, and the specific messages/information received. Mothers who were visited by the FLWs were then interviewed within 2 weeks following the observed visits to ask survey questions about receipt of IYCF counseling during the specific home visits. The validity of the survey questions was estimated by calculating the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and other measures. In addition, services provided during community events such as Village Health and Nutrition Day or other routine community-based events were observed to document different modalities available in communities through which women are likely to receive IYCF information. The study was conducted in the Samastipur district of Bihar, India, from August to September 2021. The study was led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), in collaboration with CARE India Solutions for Sustainable Development, Bihar, India. The validation study comprised the following tools: 1) Frontline Worker General Information, 2) Time Use Tracking Form, 3) Home Visit Observation Checklist, 4) Community Event Observation Checklist and 5) Two-week Recall Questionnaire

Abstract This work aimed to draft and validate a checklist of the production processes of pediatric diets for use in hospital lactaries. A bibliographic search was carried out in order to draft the instrument. Content validation was performed with 5 experts, using the Delphi technique and the 5-point Likert scale. Appearance validation was performed by 3 nutritionists, in the same environment, day, and time. The instrument included a header, a guide to completion instructions, and 225 assessment items that obtained validated content. The minimum and maximum values for the content validity index (CVI) were 0.88 and 0.96, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha (α) was >0.80 in more than 90% of the items evaluated. The minimum and maximum values for the Appearance Validity Index (AVI) were, respectively, 0.73 and 0.93. The Kruskal Wallis test showed no significant difference during the evaluations (p-value>0.05) for the blocks of the routine version and the management version. The instrument versions presented in more than 80% of the α and ICC blocks > 0.80. Therefore, the instrument presented validated content and appearance, presenting reproducibility and reliability in terms of the feasibility of use in a nutritionist’s practice.

Ergonomic risk assessment tools for office workers have been continuously developed for various objectives and research fields. To select appropriate tools, their measurement and psychometric properties must be evaluated. The objective of this study was to identify and evaluate the content and measurement properties of ergonomic assessment tools used to detect musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among office workers. The literature search used the following keywords: office worker, checklist, work assessment tools, psychometric, and validation. This systematic review covered studies published between 2000 and 2024, retrieved from three electronic databases. Eligible articles were original full-text studies conducted with office workers that described the development, evaluation, or validation of the measurement properties of ergonomic assessment tools. The quality appraisal was performed using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist. Twelve tools from 30 articles were included in this review. The results showed positive measurement quality for four tools (two questionnaires and two observational methods). However, some of the articles reviewed had inadequate methodological quality and small sample sizes. This does not mean the tools themselves have poor measurement properties; rather, it suggests that they require repeated evaluation.

IntroductionIn recent decades, middle and high school students have been experiencing increasing levels of academic stress. The reason may be rapid urbanization and the widespread use of the Internet, which have expanded students’ environments from the confines of family and school to the open community and cyber world. Greater exposure to academic information and social interactions may contribute to heightened stress levels. However, the underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. Furthermore, the current taxonomy of academic stress conflates self-stress with stress arising from social events, resulting in a misalignment between theoretical frameworks and measurement scales.Materials and methodsThe mixed-methods study explored stressful academic events among adolescents using the critical incident technique and validated a corresponding scale (Adolescent Stressful Academic Events Checklist, ASAEC). The study was conducted during the spring 2025 semester. In the qualitative phase, 84 participants, including teachers, parents, and students, were interviewed. Data were coded, member-checked, and analyzed to identify common stressful academic events. Based on these findings, a checklist of adolescent academic stress was developed, and its reliability and validity were examined through a survey of 453 adolescents.Results(1) Qualitative: The study categorized critical incidents from three dimensions (event topics, social actors, and interaction ways). A total of 540 critical incidents revealed common sources of academic stress related to enrollment, rivalry, career, working hard, intelligence, and social. These events were associated with various social actors, including neighbors, kinsmen, friends of parents, non-classmate peers, netizens, news media, self-media, parents, teachers, and classmates. Participants reported experiencing stress not only through direct interactions but also through mediated, observing, and distal interactions. (2) Quantitative: Both EFA and CFA supported a single-factor structure for the checklist. The Item Response Theory (IRT) model demonstrated strong psychometric properties, including high reliability, good model fit (as indicated by RMSEA, CFI, and TLI), and appropriate item parameters, infit indicators, and average information measures. ASAEC showed significant correlation with the hypothesized variables, confirming its criterion-related validity.Conclusion(1) Newly identified stressful academic events were found to be correlated with urban and online communities, and all related items were significant in the survey. These findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of digitalization and urbanization on academic stress. (2) Weak ties and new interaction ways were found to contribute to stressful academic events, while the checklist exhibited a single-factor structure. The findings suggest that the proposed three-dimensional framework requires further empirical validation. (3) ASAEC provides a reliable tool for assessing adolescent academic stress from an ecological perspective, facilitating more effective management that accounts for various interactions with a wide range of social actors.

Most people have no access to psychological interventions for mental or physical health conditions, particularly in lower- and middle-income countries. Teaching ultra-transdiagnostic psychological intervention skills to general healthcare staff is one way of improving access, however it is unlikely to be a feasible option unless these skills can be used in ways that do not require increased time or resources. Creating an evidence-base for this approach requires description and measurement of therapeutic skills used in general healthcare appointments. A two-day course to teach the skills was created by a multiprofessional committee of staff in the Malaysian mental health system, which included patients and carers. An operationalised list of skills was created following this course, which was modified after expert review. A panel of experts used the list to review videos of consultations found on the internet, with five of the experts rating at least 26 of the videos, which were included in the analysis. This was analysed using generalisability theory and inter-rater reliability was calculated for individual items. Doctors were then observed in consultations before and after the course. Rasch analysis was used to refine the scale, so that it was unidimensional and Rasch compliant. Mixed-model analysis showed that there was a pre-post increase in skills use by the doctors.

This dataset is dedicated to the late Mr. Asakaia Balawa who was a marine conservation champion and custodian of indigenous Fijian environmental and cultural knowledge.

This checklist records the indigenous names in the Navakavu dialect for various types of finfish (ilava), including true finfishes, sharks, rays, and eels. It pertains to the customary fishing grounds (iqoliqoli) and lands (vanua) of the people of Vanua Navakavu, situated on the Muaivusu Peninsula, east of Suva, the capital city of Fiji, in southeastern Viti Levu. Although the main focus is on marine species, information has been also included on brackish and freshwater species.

The list of species is derived from a 2008 Technical Report published by the Coral Reefs Initiative for the Pacific (Initiatives Corail pour le Pacifique, CRISP), authored by the same individuals. For the purpose of this checklist, all scientific names extracted from the Technical Report were verified against the World Register of Marine Species database (www.marinespecies.org); specifically using the SiB-Colombia Open Refine Scripts for Biodiversity Data Quality script for Taxonomic Validation with WORMS's API (Marine data), that is available on GitHub. Species names that were found to be synonyms have been recorded using their valid names as of May 2023.

The purpose of this list is to preserve the traditional knowledge held by the people of Vanua Navakavu concerning their marine resources.

ABSTRACT Objective: to validate a lumbar spine endoscopic flavectomy simulator using the construct method and to assess the acceptability of the simulator in medical education. Methods: thirty medical students and ten video-assisted surgery experienced orthopedists performed an endoscopic flavectomy procedure in the simulator. Time, look-downs, lost instruments, respect for the stipulated edge of the ligamentum flavum, regularity of the incision, GOALS checklist (Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills), and responses to the Likert Scale adapted for this study were analyzed. Results: all variables differed between groups. Procedure time was shorter in the physician group (p < 0.001). Look-downs and instrument losses were seven times greater among students than physicians. Half of the students respected the designated incision limits, compared to 80% of the physicians. In the student group, about 30% of the incisions were regular, compared to 100% in the physician group (p < 0.001). The physicians performed better in all GOALS checklist domains. All the physicians and more than 96% of the students considered the activity enjoyable, and approximately 90% believed that the model was realistic and could contribute to medical education. Conclusions: the simulator could differentiate the groups’ experience level, indicating construct validity, and both groups reported high acceptability.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To develop and validate a new test of specific technical skills required for microsurgical varicocelectomy. Materials and Methods: An electronic questionnaire was sent to 558 members of the Brazilian Society of Urology for the validation of the task-specific checklist (TSC) for assessment of microsurgical varicocelectomy. Participants who had experience in this procedure were selected as judges. For construct validation, 12 participants including attending urologists and urological residents in training were recruited for voluntary participation. We formed a group of three experts and a group of nine novices, who had to perform the steps of microsurgical varicocelectomy on a simulation model using human placenta. Each participant was filmed and two blinded raters would then evaluate their performance using the TSC of microsurgical varicocelectomy. Results: 14 judges were recruited. The assessment tool was reformulated, according to the judges suggestions and had the content validity achieved. The final version of the TSC was comprised of the task-specific score, a series of 4 items scored in a binary fashion designed for microscopic sub-inguinal varicocelectomy. The differences between the performance of participants with different levels of experience reflected the construct validity. The reliability between the raters was high. The mean time required to complete the training of microsurgical varicocelectomy in simulation model was significantly shorter for experts compared to novices (201 vs. 496 seconds, p=0.01). Conclusions: This preliminary study suggests that the task-specific checklist of microsurgical varicocelectomy is reliable and valid in assessing microsurgical skills.

ABSTRACT Objective: to perform the content and face validation of a checklist and a banner on pressure injury prevention in patients in prone position. Method: this is a methodological study of content and face validation with 26 nurses with specialization. Professionals assessed the checklist and the banner in relation to clarity, theoretical relevance, practical relevance, relation of the figures to the text and font size. The Content Validity Index was calculated for each item, considering one with a value equal to or greater than 0.8 as valid. Results: all the actions described in the checklist and in the banner had a Content Validity Index greater than 0.80, with standardization of verbal time and esthetic adjustments in the banner’s layout, as suggested. Conclusions: the checklist and the banner were validated and can be used in clinical practice to facilitate pressure injury preventions in patients in prone position.

ABSTRACT Objective: To validate the "Checklist for Managing Critical Patients' Daily Awakening" instrument. Methods: This was a descriptive study that used a quantitative approach for content validation using the Delphi method to obtain the consensus of experts who evaluated the instrument using a Likert scale. The validity index of each item of the instrument was calculated, with a minimum consensus parameter above 0.78. Results: Three Delphi rounds were required, starting with 29 experts and ending with 15 experts who were invited in person and via e-mail to participate in the study. Of the 15 items in the instrument, 13 had a content validity index > 0.78. The instrument maintained its attributes, and six items were reformulated without the need to exclude any of them. The validated items enabled the assessment of and decisions regarding the dimensions related to the level of sedation and agitation, vital signs, ventilatory parameters and pain. The instrument presented psychometric indicators with acceptable content validity. Conclusion: The instrument proposed in the study exhibited content validity for most of its items and emerges as a practical strategy for the management of the daily interruption of sedation of critical patients.

To describe the development and content validation of the Upper Limb-Motor Learning Strategy Tool (UL-MLST) that aims to guide clinicians on how to implement and document the motor learning strategies used in the upper limb therapy approaches for children with cerebral palsy. The study consists of two main stages (1) item generation and development and (2) content validation and refinement. The UL-MLST Online Training Program, Manual and Checklist were developed by the authorship group in stage one. In stage 2, two experts evaluated the UL-MLST regarding the Relevance, Coherence, and Significance of the individual strategies and whether the tool is Relevant, Comprehensive, and Clinically useful. Of sixty-two strategies included in the UL-MLST, 52 strategies were rated as being either “Moderately” or “Highly” Relevant, Coherent, and Significant. Ten strategies did not achieve mutual agreement; however, they did not meet the criteria for deletion and were revised according to expert feedback. Overall, the UL-MST was judged to be Relevant, Comprehensive, and Clinically useful. The UL-MLST provides a valid tool to support clinicians in the implementation of the motor learning strategies for children with cerebral palsy.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe Upper Limb- Motor Learning Strategy Tool (UL-MLST) Online Training Program, Manual, and Checklist provide a comprehensive package of resources to support the application of motor learning strategies in upper limb therapy for children with cerebral palsy.The UL-MLST provides clinicians with a valid tool for self-appraising the implementation of motor learning-based therapies.The tool has the potential to improve fidelity, enhance the quality, and ensure consistency of evidence-based, task-focused approaches of therapy.
