Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine validation of the Iranian version of the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey (HECS). This is a methodological study with a cross-sectional design that was conducted in 2016. A forward-backward translation method was used to translate the questionnaire from English to Persian and face, content, and construct validity as well as reliability were assessed. The factor structure of the HECS through explorative Principal Component Analysis (PCA) confirmed five factors that explained 64.7% of total variance. The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .86 and the Cronbach's alphas for five of the subscales were between .63 and .92. The Iranian version of HECS has adequate validity and reliability for measuring the hospital ethical climate in the Iraniansociety.
