Abstract
MARTINEZ SALAZAR, Gerardo Jesús et al. Validation of an instrument to assess the level of knowledge about the application of obstetric forceps. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.9, pp.660-668. Epub Nov 17, 2023. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v91i9.8822.
OBJECTIVE:
To design and validate an instrument to assess the level of knowledge of Salinas forceps application in Gynecology and Obstetrics residents.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Descriptive, cross-sectional, validation-type study of an instrument. The first construct was developed based on the theoretical framework; the questionnaire was analyzed by a group of experts based on the Delphi methodology. A construct of 20 questions was obtained and a study was undertaken to assess the relevance of the instrument. Reliability was evaluated with the Kuder-Richardson coefficient, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test and Bartlett's sphericity test. The data were processed in SPSS version 21.
RESULTS:
The instrument was applied to 66 resident physicians with a mean age of 28.5 ± 0.7 years. The Kuder-Richardson coefficient was 0.608. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett tests showed that it was a multidimensional instrument.
CONCLUSIONS:
A valid, reliable and multidimensional instrument was obtained to determine the level of knowledge in relation to the application of Salinas forceps in Gynecology and Obstetrics residents.
