SANCHEZ, Esmeralda Alcaraz; CARRILLO, Raúl Flores  y  CORTES, Silvia Graciela León. Content Validity of the NIOSH Worker Well-Being Questionnaire in Spanish for Wildland Firefighters in Mexico. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2024, vol.24, n.4, pp.145-154.  Epub 31-Oct-2024. ISSN 1814-5469.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v24i4.6065.

The validity of the Spanish version of the NIOSH Worker Well-Being Questionnaire (WBG) was evaluated among wildland firefighters in Mexico through a psychometric study involving expert judgment. The clarity, coherence, and relevance of 68 items were analyzed. A six-point Likert scale was applied, and Aiken’s V coefficient was used to assess content validity. Six experts participated, and statistical analyses were conducted using Excel. An Aiken’s V ≥0.70 was considered acceptable. Most items achieved an Aiken’s V above 0.70 across all evaluated criteria, validating the consistency of the questionnaire. One item (P44) showed a slightly lower clarity score (0.67), but its relevance justified its retention. The relevance, coherence, and clarity of the Spanish version of the WBG for wildland firefighters in Mexico were confirmed. Future studies with factorial analyses and pilot testing are recommended.
