Resumen:
Objective: To describe the results of applying the European Quality Instrument for Health Promotion (EQUIHP) tool in the MIHsalud programme and to discuss its perceived utility by the programme's team members.
Method: Evaluation study applying EQUIHP to a health promotion programme. A total of ten MlHsalud staff (eight women and two men) completed the EQUIHP and participated in two group interviews to discuss its perceived utility.
Results: The programme obtained a total score of 6.5 points out of 10 in quality. The use of EQUIHP enabled the programme's weaknesses to be identified, such as lack of a communication plan, evaluability and sustainability; as well as its strengths, such as the inclusion of health promotion principles. The MIHsalud team believes that the EQUIHP is a useful tool which can facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of the programme in terms of a health promotion initiative.
Conclusion: The use of the EQUIHP has made it possible to evaluate the quality of the programme and to make recommendations for its improvement, and it could be applied to other programmes and activities. (C) 2017 SESPAS. Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.
