Comparing two safety culture surveys: Safety Attitudes Questionnaire and Hospital Survey on Patient Safety

Abstract

Given that the SAQ and HSOPS had similar reliability and predictive validity, investigators and quality and safety leaders should consider survey length, content, sensitivity to change and the ability to benchmark when selecting a patient safety culture survey.

Cultura e clima organizacional para segurança do paciente em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva

“…Even though there were statistically significant results in the correlation between the HSOPSC and the SAQ, the highest correlation values found were of moderate strength, a fact that was also observed in another study that compared the two instruments (11) . This result may be related to the fact that most of the items in the HSOPSC domains address error directly, differently from the SAQ scale.…”

“…The survey items were analyzed by domain/dimension and as a complete scale using means, medians and standard deviations. For calculating SAQ scores, negatively worded items were reversed and then each item was submitted to the formula (m-1)x25 m, where m is the mean of the domain items in questions and range from 0 to 100 (8,11) . Scores above 75 indicated a strong area with regards to patient safety and scores under 50 represented areas of weakness (12) .…”

“…The researchers concluded that the reliability of both instruments was similar, leaving the decision about which instrument to use up to researchers or the organization's head of patient safety (11) .…”

Development of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire - Korean Version (SAQ-K) and Its Novel Analysis Methods or Safety Managers

“…In response to the demand, various tools have been developed and tested [5][6][7], and one of the most embraced and thoroughly validated instruments is the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ), which is composed of six domains [8] ( Table 1). benchmarks not only for healthcare organizations but also for countries [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Avaliação do clima de segurança do paciente em Unidade de Emergência de um hospital universitário do interior de São Paulo

“…Así que conocer la percepción de los profesionales sobre el clima de seguridad del paciente en estos sectores ayuda en el diagnóstico de la cultura de la seguridad, contribuye a la mejora de la atención de salud, reducir los incidentes y eventos adversos y tiene como objetivo mejorar la calidad de la atención a los pacientes.
