简介：为了评估早期护理和教育（ECE）程序的健康和安全，一个客观的，标准化的工具，建议的国家健康和安全standards.Method的基础上开发：加州儿童保健健康计划健康和安全检查表进行文献综述，确定一个金标准，修订和更新原来的检查表，咨询咨询小组，并试点测试的检查表。检查表包括66个项目，分为10个分量表，每个项目都按三分制进行评级：符合、部分符合或不符合国家标准。面，内容，结构效度沿着与措施的可靠性，评分员间的可靠性，和内部consistencywerestablished.Results：完成了127 ECE中心的检查表。最高分量表得分是应急准备，最低分量表得分是洗手程序和设备维护。Cronbach的α分量表得分范围从中度到强（0.27至0.70）。讨论：该清单提供了有效和可靠的信息，以评估遵守关键的国家健康和安全标准和客观的数据，制定干预方案，以改善健康和安全的ECE计划。《儿科卫生保健杂志》（2008）22，368-377中描述的。
Introduction: To assess health and safety in early care and education (ECE) programs, an objective, standardized instrument was developed based on the recommended national health and safety standards.Method: The California Childcare Health Program Health and Safety Checklist was developed by conducting a literature review, identifying a gold standard, revising and updating the original Checklist, consulting with an advisory group, and pilot testing the Checklist. The Checklist included 66 items grouped into 10 subscales, and each item was rated on a three-point scale: meeting, partially meeting, or not meeting national standards. Face, content, and construct validity along with measures of reliability, inter-rater reliability, and internal consistency were established.Results: The Checklist was completed in 127 ECE centers. The highest sub-scale score was for emergency preparedness and the lowest was for handwashing routines and equipment maintenance. Cronbach's alpha subscale scores ranged from moderate to strong (0.27 to 0.70).Discussion: The Checklist provides valid and reliable information to assess adherence to key national health and safety standards and objective data to develop intervention programs to improve health and safety in ECE programs.
