Development and validation of a technology for obstetric intraoperative care safety

Elaboración y validación de tecnología para la seguridad de la atención intraoperatoria obstétrica

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to develop and validate an obstetric surgical safety checklist for intraoperative care.

Methods:

this is a methodological study with two phases: integrative review in databases, using selection criteria and descriptors to synthesize the evidence and develop the checklist; checklist content validation, with 37 judges, who answered a Likert-type questionnaire. For analysis, a >85% content validation index was applied.

Results:

the checklist’s first moment reached a 96.1 content validation index; the second moment, 95.5; the third moment, 98.9. Thus, the validation index of all verifying sections present in the three surgical moments was 97.1. Cronbach’s Alpha value was 95.57%.

Conclusions:

the checklist items were validated by judges, with improvement of some items and insertion of others.
