AB Healthcare professionals often use multimedia patient education media, but not all have the same content quality. This study aimed tocross-culturally adapt the Educational Content Validation Instrument in Health to the Spanish setting and assess its psychometricproperties. A methodological validation study was carried out between January and September 2020.Data collection took place fromMay to June 2020. A translation, back translation, committee review, and pre-testing was carried out. Subsequently, reliability (internalconsistency), and validity (factorial and convergent) were assessed by requiring 210 Healthcare Professionals to complete theinstrument based on video material. In addition, a refinement of the instrument was conducted based on the modificationindexes. The instrument showed adequate internal consistency, although some redundancy in the items (α = .93). Exploratoryfactor analysis suggested a unifactorial structure that explained an adequate variance (47.37%). Convergent validitywas poor (r = .11; P = .05). After analysis, 6 items were deleted without impairing the validity results and eliminatingredundancy. Therefore, a 12-item version of the instrument was created. It can help to assess more objectively the contentsof the materials prescribed, facilitating the choice of those of higher quality and potentially improving their patients’ healthoutcomes. Further studies are needed to confirm the previous results and reassess some of the shortcomings.
