Checklist, Natural Childbirth, Nurse Midwives, Patient Safety, Birthing Centers
Objective: the objective of this study is to adapt and validate a Brazilian instrument, based on the World Health Organization's Checklist for Safe Childbirth, for its adaptation to the context of the Normal Birth Center. Method: this is a methodological study, using the Delphi technique and a Likert scale, developed in three stages: construction of a pilot instrument adapted from the World Health Organization's Checklist for Safe Childbirth, content validation and validation apparent by expert judges. In addition, the instrument RIGHT-Ad@pt checklist was used to guide the adaptation with checking of all steps. Results: the instrument reached a general content validity index > 0.9 in both stages, interrater agreement ≥ 0.9 in all dimensions and assessment items, and obtained high scores in both stages (>90). Conclusions: due to the high values obtained in the results, it appears that the validation obtained allowed the development of an instrument containing 31 items relevant to the theoretical constructs, therefore, capable of being used as a tool to promote the safety of patients in a Normal Birth Center. The use of the RIGHT-Ad@pt checklist facilitated the construction of the list with the essential attributes and allowed the identification of limitations in the study
