To assess the reliability of ESPT between and within observers, the Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and the Bag Kappa Multi-rater Fleiss method were used.Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 26.Results: The results of the study showed a high agreement between each observer as well as between the three observers before and after six months.The ICC for observers 1, 2, and 3 were respectively 0.951, 0.
947, and 0.927, and also between each of the three observers for the first and second time respectively 0.955 and 0.941.Conclusion: The ESPT has been shown to possess high reliability for assessing the risk of developing MSDs among nurses, and it can be used for this purpose.
