Primary Health Care Planning workshops: construction and validation of an assessment instrument.

OBJECTIVE

to describe the stages of construction and content validation of an instrument to assess Primary Health Care Planning workshops.

METHODS

this methodological study focused on validating the instrument's content. The instrument developed was assessed by a committee of experts using the Delphi Technique, in two rounds. For the degree of agreement, percentage agreement and Content Validity Index (CVI) were used.

RESULTS

in the first round, six experts participated, and the degree of agreement was 87% for clarity and 94% for representativeness. In the second round, five experts participated, the CVI was 0.95 for clarity, 0.97 for representativeness and 0.96 total CVI. The final instrument had 42 items divided into three chunks.

CONCLUSION

the instrument has content validity to assess Primary Health Care Planning workshops, being a tool for the use of state and municipal administrations.
