“…The validation studies on SAQ – Short Form in Norwegian ([35], Italian [13], Portuguese [14], Chinese [15], Swedish [16, 17], and German [18] language confirmed the original factor structure. However, they were carried out in the secondary health care level which makes it difficult to compare the results of our study to them as our study was done in primary health care settings.…”

BackgroundSafety culture describes leader and staff interactions, attitudes, routines, awareness, and practices within an organisation. With this study, we aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the Slovenian-language version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) – Short Form in primary health care settings.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study in the largest primary health care in Slovenia. We invited all employees with a leadership role to participate in the study (N = 211). We used the Slovenian-language version of the SAQ – Short Form.ResultsThere were 154 participants in the final sample (73.0% response rate), of which 136 (88.3%) were women. The mean age of the sample was 46.2 ± 10.0 years. Exploratory factor analysis put forward six factors: 1) Perceptions of Management; 2) Stress recognition; 3) Teamwork Climate; 4) Communication; 5) Safety Climate; 6) Working Conditions and Satisfaction. This model explained 61.7% of the variance of the safety culture in the primary health care setting. The reliability of the whole scale and of the six factors, assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, was all above 0.78.ConclusionThe results of our study suggests that the Slovenian-language version of the SAQ – Short Form with six factors could be a reliable and valid tool for measuring the safety culture in the primary health care workers with leadership role In Slovenia. The Slovenian version differed from the original SAQ – Short Form and the majority of other translated versions. Also, the data was from one health centre only and therefore we cannot draw strong conclusions on its external validity.

“…For this study, the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) was chosen, in the version adapted and validated for the Portuguese language 3 - 5 . As well as being one of the instruments used most for assessing the culture of safety in various countries 6 - 8 , this instrument was chosen due to its practicality and the fact that it is possible to complete it rapidly, this process requiring approximately 10 minutes. Furthermore, its results can be associated with the patient safety indicators.…”

Objective: to assess the culture of safety in three public hospitals.Method: transversal study undertaken in three Brazilian public hospitals, with health professionals through applying the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ). Scores greater than or equal to 75 were considered positive.Results: a total of 573 professionals participated in the study, including nurse technicians and auxiliary nurses 292 (51%), nurses 105 (18.3%), physicians 59 (10.3%), and other professionals 117 (20.4%). The mean of the SAQ varied between 65 and 69 in the three hospitals. Among the domains, however, 'Job satisfaction' presented a higher score, and the opposite was observed for the domain 'Perceptions of management'. The outsourced professionals presented a better perception of the culture of safety than did the statutory professionals. The professionals with higher education presented a better perception of the stressing factors than did the professionals educated to senior high school level.Conclusion: the level of the culture of safety found is below the ideal. The managerial actions are considered the main contributing factor to the culture's weakness; however, the professionals demonstrated themselves to be satisfied with the work.
