Assessment of content validity for a Neonatal Near miss Scale in the context of Ethiopia

Background The concept of neonatal near miss is used to identify neonates who nearly died but survived a life-threatening complication in the first 28 days of life. Neonatal mortality is the tip of the iceberg. Quality improvement through utilization of a validated scale and reduction in adverse neo...

Neonatal mortality is the tip of the iceberg. Quality improvement through utilization of a validated scale and reduction in adverse neonatal outcome is a priority for achieving sustainable development goals. Objectives To develop and assess the content validity of neonatal near-miss scale in the public health hospitals in Amhara Regional State, northwest Ethiopia. Methods A literature review was performed prior to the development of the neonatal near-miss assessment scale. An expert panel committee was formed by health facility practitioners and by the members of the academia. Two rounds of meetings were conducted with the expert panel to reach consensus on the face and content validity. The content validity index, Kappa statistics, and the content validity ratio were computed to estimate the content validity scale of neonatal near miss. Results In this study, four domains (pragmatic, clinical, management, and lab-investigations) with 32 items were identified. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.7 to 1. The overall scale content validity (S-CVI) (average) for the domains (pragmatic, clinical, management, and lab-investigations) were 0.98, 0.95, 0.96, and 0.96, respectively. The overall S-CVI (universal) was 0.78 to 1, whereas the overall S-CVI (average) of neonatal near miss assessment scale was found to be 0.96. The content validity ratio and Kappa statistics values ranged from 0.6 to 1 and 0.9 to 1 for the respective domains. Conclusion The identified four domains and the respective items were valid enough (content-wise) to be used as identification criteria for neonatal near-miss cases. The scale will contribute to neonatal near-miss identification and also improve the quality of neonatal management care.Mengstu Melkamu AsayeKassahun Alemu GelayeYohannes Hailu MatebeHelena LindgrenKerstin ErlandssonTaylor & Francis Grouparticledomainexpert panelscaleneonatal near-missvalidationPublic aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENGlobal Health Action, Vol 14, Iss 1 (2021)
