In order to evaluate the content validity, the questionnaire was sent to 28 ergonomists and the content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR) were calculated. The reliability of questionnaire was determined when 221 questionnaires were fulfilled by hospital nurseries.

Results: the initial evaluations by experts partial revisions in some subscales to approve the CVR. By revisions, the validity of all subscales and consequently the JCQ were confirmed. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for JCQ dimensions was ranged from 0.65 to 0.89. The total coefficient for the JCQ showed that the questionnaire has high internal consistency in all dimensions measured (α = 0.894).
