Sumario:Abstract: Moral intelligence -through which an individual makes mental evaluation before taking action about a decision- is important in individual-centered healthcare. Using Lawshe Method, we designed the &#8220;Survey for Measuring Moral Intelligence in the Provision of Healthcare Services&#8221; with &#8220;equality&#8221;, &#8220;empathy&#8221;, &#8220;moral intelligence&#8221;, &#8220;justice&#8221;, &#8220;tolerance&#8221;, &#8220;self-control&#8221;, and &#8220;politeness&#8221; dimensions (&#945;=.966). Age of the population (physicians and nurses) was 36.44±9.52, consisting 517 (65.5%) women, 538 married participants, 653 employed in public hospitals, and 352 had work experience of <10 years. All participants were moral intelligence-sensitive. Those who had children, worked in a private organization, and had longer work experience were more sensitive with regard to &#8220;equality&#8221;, which varied by marital status, frequency of working outside normal working hours, and age groups. &#8220;Politeness&#8221; varied between participants that have worked for >8 hours/day. Using dimensions of this survey as skills is expected to ensure due diligence about rights and dignity in healthcare services.
