Objective: to verify the evidence of psychometric validity of the nursing professionals’ belief assessment instrument in the patient safety training process in a hospital institution. Method: a quantitative study with a methodological design carried out in a teaching hospital in the Brazilian Midwest, from March to June 2018, with the participation of 369 nursing professionals. The instrument used was adapted from the scale already validated Beliefs in the Training System for health professionals. In this study, the adapted instrument was subjected to verification of psychometric properties through assessment of internal consistency and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: the scale’s adapted version was composed of 30 items distributed in three factors: 1 - Beliefs about the contribution of training to individuals and organization; 2 - Beliefs about the training needs assessment process; 3 - Beliefs about results and the training process. The scale showed a satisfactory psychometric index with good adjustment indexes (CFI=0.92 and RMSEA=0.05 and SRMR=0.07), Cronbach’s and Mc Donald’s alpha above 0.86 and significant factor loads of 0.62 to 0.80. Conclusion: the instrument presented adequate psychometric properties in the studied group, which can be reproduced in other institutions and contribute to diagnosis of the dimensions that influence the success of patient safety training, ensuring more assertive decision making to promote better quality results nursing care.
