Abstract

Background: Safety measurement tools have traditionally examined safety climate and culture from the perspective of healthcare professionals. A small number of studies have used tools to measure patients' perceptions of safety.

Aim: To develop and check the validity of a questionnaire, the King's Patient Safety Measure (KPSM), that assesses how patients perceive their safety when receiving acute care.

Discussion: A cross-sectional survey of 158 patients was undertaken that was constructed to establish the validity and reliability of a 13-item questionnaire. A general linear model statistically tested how patients perceived the safety of their care and whether those views were associated with covariates that included characteristics such as age, gender, ethnic identity, socio-economic factors, how long they stayed in hospital and the way they were admitted to hospital.

Conclusion: The KPSM is a validated tool consisting of a single factor that is internally consistent.

Implications for practice: The KPSM is appropriate for and potentially applicable to a diverse range of patients and could act as an early warning tool.

开发并验证用于评估急症医院患者安全感的测量方法。

背景：安全测量工具传统上是从医疗专业人员的角度来考察安全氛围和文化的。目的：开发并检查国王患者安全测量（KPSM）问卷的有效性，该问卷用于评估患者在接受急症护理时对其安全的看法：我们对 158 名患者进行了横断面调查，以确定 13 个项目问卷的有效性和可靠性。一般线性模型对患者如何看待其护理安全以及这些观点是否与年龄、性别、种族身份、社会经济因素、住院时间和入院方式等协变因素有关进行了统计检验：结论：KPSM 是一种经过验证的工具，由一个内部一致的单一因素组成：对实践的启示：KPSM 适合并可能适用于各种不同的病人，可作为一种预警工具。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
