“…The questionnaire was originally designed by Sexton, and it is one of the most widely verified psychometric questionnaires on safety attitudes. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The primary factors associated with patient safety climate are employee attitude toward risks and safety, organizational commitment to safety systems, and manag- ers' attitude toward patient safety. 10 The Safety Attitude Questionnaire is divided into 6 domains to examine clinicians' patient safety attitudes in different dimensions.…”

“…The Safety Attitude Questionnaire in this study was originally designed by Sexton et al 14 We selected the Safety Attitude Questionnaire because it is one of the most widely verified psychometric questionnaires on safety attitudes [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and the Chinese version of the Safety Attitude Questionnaire showed good validity and reliability in a recent large survey in Taiwan. 15 In this study we adapted the Chinese version of the Safety Attitude Questionnaire to assess RTs' safety attitudes in Taiwanese hospital settings.…”

BACKGROUND: Safety attitude surveys have been widely conducted in various disciplines, but not among respiratory therapists (RTs), to assess clinician's awareness of patient safety. We conducted a nationwide survey in Taiwan to assess RTs' safety attitudes in several hospital settings. METH-ODS: We adapted the Safety Attitude Questionnaire for RTs, and, via the RTs' union, invited all Taiwan RTs to take the survey. The questionnaire assessed safety attitudes in 6 domains: teamwork climate, safety climate, job satisfaction, stress recognition, perception of hospital management, and perception of working conditions. We analyzed the associations between positive attitudes and each domain. RESULTS: The response rate was 60%. Overall, the RTs had low positive attitudes about the teamwork climate (37%), safety climate (21%), job satisfaction (29%), stress recognition (32%), perception of hospital management (24%), and perception of working conditions (21%). The positive attitudes to all safety domains were lower among senior RTs than among junior RTs. The RTs working in the medical centers had higher positive-attitude scores for stress recognition but lower scores for the other 5 safety domains than the RTs working in the (smaller) regional and district hospitals. CONCLUSIONS: Taiwanese RTs had low positive attitudes about the surveyed 6 safety domains in their hospitals. High work load, management of RTs under other professions, and lack of protocol use probably contribute to their low opinions about the patient safety situation and low job satisfaction.

Objective: To translate and adapt the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room Version into Portuguese. Methods: Methodological research of cross-cultural adaptation which applied the stages: translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert panel evaluation, pretest, submission and evaluation of the reports by the authors of the original instrument. The content validation was performed using the semantic, idiomatic, conceptual, experiential and content equivalence. A total of 12 experts participated and the agreement index corresponded to ≥ 80%. Results: The stages of translation and back-translation were considered adequate and in the synthesis evaluation by the experts, changes were indicated in 41 items from the total of 137. Regarding the equivalence of the validation process carried out by the experts, the general consensus of the instrument obtained 84.1% equivalence, 9.3% of non-equivalence and 6.6% undecided. In the pretest, the mean time to fill in the questionnaire corresponded to 16.5 minutes. Conclusion: The process of translation and adaptation presented adequacy as to the validity of content through the indices obtained in equivalences and understanding for the subjects, and it was approved by the authors.
