“…The process of content validation in this study is consistent with other studies [7,8], but different from two other study which made use of four-point Likert scale as against SAM tool [9] and the one which made use of Delphi techniques among expert or judges [25]. These two studies utilized binomial test and Kappa to determine the agreement in the ratings of the experts.…”

“…The agreement of rating among the professionals is the strength of the validation index. The agreement can be in form of quantifying consensus (content validity ratio) [3] or measuring proportional agreement (content validity index) [4] measuring inter-rater experts' agreement (Cohen's coefficient kappa (k) or Intra class correlation) [5] 0r the use of Delphi technique [6] The application of content validation has been found to be relevant in most studies on Information Educational and Communication (IEC) materials [7,8], and it is commonly conducted in studies from the high-income countries [9].…”

Background This study describes the content validation process of the already developed English and Yoruba (poster and leaflet) and Yoruba (song) maternal depression educational materials in Nigeria. Methods This study is a cross sectional study which is a part of a larger study on training and supervision of Primary health care workers. Study utilized health professionals’ judgement for content validation, and maternal-child health clients’ evaluation for face validation with the use of Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM). Six bilingual professionals validated both English and Yoruba version of materials (Song has only Yoruba version) and 50 clients evaluated each Yoruba material. Validity Index was calculated by formula and inter-rater agreement using intra-class coefficient (ICC) was analyzed on Professionals’ ratings. ICC, ‵t′ test and Pearson correlation were analyzed on professionals’ rating versus randomly selected six clients’ rating. Descriptive statistics, and fisher exact test were used for other statistical analysis with SPSS version 25. Results The mean age of the professionals for poster was 44.3 ± 6.0 years, for leaflet 39.8 ± 7.2 years, for song 43.8 ± 8.4 years. For maternal child health clients, mean age is: 30.7 ± 5.4 years for poster; 31.3 ± 5.2 for leaflet and 29.0 ± 5.1 for song. Outcomes of bilingual professionals’ validation are validity index: English {leaflet (0.94), poster (0.94)}, and Yoruba {leaflet (0.94) poster (0.94) and song (1.00)}. More than 80% clients rated the suitability of each material as superior. There is no significant relationship between clients’ sociodemographic characteristics and their ratings across content, literacy demand and cultural appropriateness domains of the three materials on fisher exact test. The inter-rater agreement among the professionals is excellent on leaflet and song ICC > 0.8, but it is weak on the poster ICC < 0.6. There is no inter-rater agreement on all the three Yoruba materials, but a negative linear correlation was found on the leaflet between the professionals’ ratings and the randomly selected clients’ ratings. ‵t′ test found no statistical difference in the ratings of the professionals and clients only on song material. Conclusion This study shows the process of validation of the English and Yoruba versions of the educational materials. This process should be leveraged in the content validation of other maternal-child health education materials in Africa.

“…Studies by De Oliveira in Brazil for on materials for health eating by pregnant women and Sousa et al, study in Portugal for postoperative orthographic educational material also found these domain ratings as excellent.

“…Our study has some limitations. All print educational materials are expected to reach the readability level of fth grade educational quali cation (37). Majority (76%) of our clients had post-secondary education (post ninth grade) and it is possible that our participants over rated the materials as readable.…”

BackgroundContent validation is a process of obtaining evidence from experts to ensure that the domains or the message of a measurement tool or educational material performs its intended purpose. This study describes the validation of developed educational materials (poster, leaflet and song), which are available in local languages for health education on maternal depression in Ibadan, South-West, Nigeria. MethodsThis cross sectional study used experts’ judgement and clients’ evaluation. Six experts and 50 maternal-child health clients for each material participated. Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) tool and its Yoruba translated version were used by the experts and the clients respectively. The outcomes include Cronbach alpha coefficient ≥ 0.8, Item level- Content Validity Index (I-CVI) ≥0.78, Scale – Item Content Validity/ Universal Agreement (S-ICV/UA) ≥ 0.8, interclass coefficient (ICC)0 ≥0.7, and the proportion of of rating of suitability assessment of material among clients. Reliability test, calculation by formula. descriptive statistics and Fisher exact were used respectively for the statistical analysis with SPSS version 25. ResultsThe mean age of the experts was 41.6±7.2 years and that of maternal child health clients was 30.7±5.4 years for poster, 31.3±5.2 for leaflet and 29.0±5.1 for song. Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the translated SAM were; 0.69 for poster, 0.87 for leaflet and 0.20 for song. The Interclass Coefficient (ICC) of all the materials were; leaflet (0.97); poster (0.89); song (0.98) and the internal consistency Cronbach alpha coefficients >0.8. The validity index for the materials were; leaflet (0.94), poster (0.94) and song (1.00). The Item Scale Level Universal Agreement (S-ICVI/UA) was >0.8 for all the materials. Nearly all clients (96%) rated song content as superior. The poster and leaflet were rated as superior by 74% and 68% of clients respectively. Clients rated the content, literacy demand and cultural appropriateness domains as superior regardless of their sociodemographic characteristics. ConclusionThese locally developed education materials for maternal depression have excellent content validity of experts and were highly rated by clients. This process should inform the development of content of other education materials in Africa.

Background: Self-management education resources for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using concepts remain infrequent. We aim to describe the development and evaluation process of educational material for self-management in IBD based on patient preferences and expert opinions. Research design and methods: The method of this study includes two main phases of development and validation in five steps in the following order: (1) identification of information needs for patients with IBD; (2) content development with a comprehensive literature review and scientific texts related to IBD; (3) measuring the face validity of the content based on the expert opinions in the field of IBD; (4) validation of the content with the experts in the field of IBD; and (5) validation by target audiences. Results: The expert panel comprises ten gastroenterologists, nutritionists, psychologists, gynecologists, and nurses. The total suitability score is 79.5%. The final draft version of the educational self-management material was presented to 30 IBD patients who were satisfied (n = 24; 80%) with the material. Conclusions: This study shows the development process and is validated for face and content validity by the academic multidisciplinary expert panel and target group. Patients and their caregivers can use this content to cope with their disease.
