We report results of safety climate questions from health care professionals involved in the “Systems Engineering Intervention in Outpatient Surgery - a Collaborative Community Perspective” study undertaken at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Surveys were conducted in five outpatient surgery centers pre- and post-intervention. The objectives of this study were to examine patient safety climate across various outpatient surgery centers pre- and post-specific patient safety interventions and to examine the relationship between patient safety climate and job categories, individual outpatient centers and the respondents' Quality of Working Life (QWL). Our results indicate that four patient safety climate scales can be created from the pre- and post-intervention 12-item questionnaire: (1) Top management commitment to patient safety, (2) General patent safety climate, (3) Employee commitment to patient safety and (4) Patient safety change. In one of the survey centers, patient safety climate became more negative over time.

Background: Treatment of acute stroke is highly time-dependent and performed by a multiprofessional, interdisciplinary team. Interface problems are expectable and issues relevant to patient safety are omnipresent. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) is a validated and widely used instrument to measure patient safety climate. The objective of this study was to evaluate the SAQ for the first time in the context of acute stroke care.Methods: A survey was carried out during the STREAM trial (NCT 032282) at seven university hospitals in Germany from October 2017 to October 2018. The anonymous survey included 33 questions (5-point Likert scale, 1 = disagree to 5 = agree) and addressed the entire multiprofessional stroke team. Statistical analyses were used to examine psychometric properties as well as descriptive findings.Results: 164 questionnaires were completed yielding a response rate of 66.4%. 67.7% of respondents were physicians and 25.0% were nurses. Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed that the original 6-factor structure fits the data adequately. The SAQ for acute stroke care showed strong internal consistency (α = 0.88). Exploratory analysis revealed differences in scores on the SAQ dimensions when comparing physicians to nurses and when comparing physicians according to their duration of professional experience.Conclusion: The SAQ is a helpful and well-applicable tool to measure patient safety in acute stroke care. In comparison to other high-risk fields in medicine, patient safety climate in acute stroke care seems to be on a similar level with the potential for further improvements.Trial registration:www.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT032282.

Objective The measurement of patient safety climate within hospitals, and specifically in operating rooms is a basic tool for the development of the patient’s safety policy. There are no validated Spanish versions of instruments to measure safety climate. The objective of this research was to validate the Spanish version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety (HSOPS®), with the addition of a module for surgical units, to evaluate the patient safety climate in operating rooms. Methods Survey validation study. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety (HSOPS®) was applied to health workers from 6 acute general hospitals, from Medellín (Colombia), with surgical procedures greater than 300 per month, 18 items were added considered specific for Operating Rooms. For construct validation, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used, utilizing principal components as the extraction method. Reliability was evaluated with Cronbach’s α. Results A 10 dimensions model was obtained with EFA, most of the dimensions of the original questionnaire were conserved, although the factorial structure was not reproduced. Two new dimensions emerged from the added items. The Cronbach’s α ranged between 0.66 and 0.87. Conclusions: We found the HSOPS questionnaire is valid and reliable for measuring patient safety climate in Spanish speaking Latin American countries. Two additional dimensions are proposed for Operating Rooms.
