Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine validation of the Iranian version of the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS). METHODS: This is a methodological study with a cross-sectional design that was conducted in 2016. A forward-backward translation method was used to translate the questionnaire from English to Persian and face, content, and construct validity as well as reliability were assessed. RESULTS: The factor structure of the HECS through explorative Principal Component Analysis (PCA) confirmed five factors that explained 64.7% of total variance. The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .86 and the Cronbach's alphas for five of the subscales were between .63 and .92. CONCLUSIONS: The Iranian version of HECS has adequate validity and reliability for measuring the hospital ethical climate in the Iraniansociety. © Copyright 2020 Springer Publishing Company, LLC.
