  ABSTRACT: Background: Recently, abuse, assault, and harassment in pediatric medical settings have become more serious. We extracted typical problems from a nationwide simultaneous survey on abuse in the pediatric medical field and developed a training textbook to simulate or discuss these issues with colleagues. This study aimed to confirm the validity and usability of the contents of this training textbook. Methods: The textbook was mailed to the heads of 51 medical institutions affiliated with the Society of Ambulatory and General Pediatrics of Japan (SAGPJ) and the participants of the SAGPJ online workshop, who were asked to evaluate the textbook using a three-point scale to answer the following questions and provide opinions and impressions about the textbook. Q1. Do you think the whole content and structure of this textbook are useful? Q2. Would you use this textbook as a training textbook for all staff at your facility? A simple tabulation was performed on the evaluation using a three-point scale, while content analysis was performed on the opinions and impressions of the participants. Results: In response to Q1 and Q2, all 63 staff members from 55 facilities answered “3: Yes.” Opinions and impressions on the training textbook included “I think it can be used for workplace training” and “it is useful for exchanging various opinions among staff members and gaining a common opinion.” Conclusion: We developed a training textbook on abuse, assault, and harassment in pediatric medical settings based on a nationwide survey and confirmed the validity and usability of its contents.
