Examining reliability of WHOBARS: a tool to measure the quality of administration of WHO surgical safety checklist using generalisability theory with surgical teams from three New... by Jennifer M Weller, Carmen Skilton, Derryn A Gargiulo, Oleg N Medvedev, Simon J Mitchell, Alan F Merry

“…In this context, extending reliability refers to establishing generalisability of the tool scores across populations of teams and raters by accounting for the relevant sources of measurement errors.Design Cross-sectional random effect measurement design assessing surgical teams by the five items on the three Checklist phases, and at three sites by two trained raters simultaneously.Setting The data were collected in three tertiary hospitals in Auckland, New Zealand in 2016 and included 60 teams observed in 60 different cases with an equal number of teams (n=20) per site. All elective and acute cases (adults and children) involving surgery under general anaesthesia during normal working hours were eligible.Participants The study included 243 surgical staff members, 138 (50.12%) women.Main outcome measure Absolute generalisability coefficient that accounts for variance due to items, phases, sites and raters for the WHOBARS measure of the quality of WHO Surgical Safety Checklist administration.Results The WHOBARS in its present form has demonstrated good generalisability of scores across teams and raters (G absolute=0.83). …”
