Abstract To develop an assessment tool for the quality of post-abortion contraceptive (PAC) counseling service from the perspective of service providers, and to provide the uniform standard for the subsequent assessment of the quality of the counseling services of PAC in various medical facilities. Methods: The assessment tool for the quality of PAC counseling service was developed through the literature review and the expert consultation. The participants were the medical personnel who had provided PAC counseling services in 17 domestic medical facilities. The data were collected through ‘Wenjuanxing’ and all the scale-type entries in the assessment tool were evaluated for intrinsic and split-half reliability, structural, convergent, and discriminant validity. Results: There were 100 questionnaires collected, with a valid recovery rate of 100%. The intrinsic reliability Cronbach's αcoefficient was 0.818, and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.941. The structural validity: χ2/df=1.605, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA)=0.078, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI)=0.912, and Comparative Fit Index (CFI)=0.928. The average variance extracted (AVE) for each dimension was all >0.5, and the correlation coefficients among the dimensions were less than the square root of AVE. Conclusion: The PAC counseling service quality assessment tool developed from the perspective of the service providers in this study has ideal reliability and validity, which can be applied to assess the quality of the PAC counseling services.
