The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of a satisfaction questionnaire prospectively applied to the 6th year medical students of a public university who attended the neonatology course from 2000 to 2011. Of the 1,349 students, 1,314 (97.4%) answered the questionnaire. Cronbach coefficient was 0.7. The factorial analysis determined four domains: performance of professors, care at delivery room, number of neonates cared and number of classes that explained 18%, 16%, 14% and 9%, respectively of total item variance. The total score was 89.3 ± 7.6% of the maximum. The number of neonates assisted at delivery room was and 4.7 ± 3.3 and pre-test and post-test scores were 5.3 ± 0.9 and 8.8 ± 0.5, respectively. Pearson correlation between total score and post-test score was 0.7 (p = 0.010). A positive correlation was observed between total score and quality of classes, assistance at the delivery room, performance of the neonatologist in duty and professors, assistance of neonates and hospital with conditions for education. In conclusion, the questionnaire showed adequate reliability and validity and student´s satisfaction score was high.
