Abstract

Background and Objective: Knowledge management is the optimal use of knowledge to achieve intended purposes. Given the type of activity of health care systems and their high health and safety risks, knowledge of health and safety executive (HSE) principles not only contributes to patient safety and health, but also enhances the health and safety of employees through raising awareness and using others' experiences. Materials and Methods: In this study, a questionnaire with 11 key questions was developed. Then, to evaluate the validity and reliability of the primarily questionnaire, inter-method reliability and Cronbach's α coefficient were used. To analyze the data, binominal test was run in SPSS, version 22. Results: The validity of Relevancy, clarity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire were 92.72%, 91.18%, and 0.7, respectively. The results of binominal test showed that all the questions were accepted (above 75% for each) by the experts. Conclusion: Although knowledge management is a niche area in Iran, it is important to apply new patterns in various aspects of the relevant activities such as HSE. It can be concluded that the introduced questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool that can be used in vocational processes.
