Abstract

Background/aim: The study aimed to contribute to the literature with a reliable and valid scale for hospitals to be used in determining the current patient safety culture and following up on its development.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted with the participation of 1137 healthcare professionals selected using the convenience sampling method in 3 secondary-care state hospitals and three research and training hospitals, one of which was affiliated with a medical faculty, and two were affiliated with the Health Sciences University. To begin with, to discover the latent structure of the items on the scale, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed. Additionally, to determine the factor structure of the scale, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method was used. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to check the reliability of the responses.

Results: According to Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO = 0.924) coefficient and the result of Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ 2 = 9748.777, df = 770), it was determined that the data structure was suitable for factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total scale was found to be 0.921. According to the EFA results, the scale was determined to have seven subscales, which were 1. Organizational Learning, Development, and Communication, 2. Management Support and Leadership, 3. Reporting Patient Safety Events, 4. Number of Personnel and Working Hours, 5. Response to Error, 6. Teamwork, and 7. Working Environment. The goodness-of-fit index results of the scale showed a good model fit (χ 2 / df = 3.04, RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.97, NFI = 0.95, IFI = 0.97, SRMR = 0.06). The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the subscales varied between 0.66 and 0.91.

Conclusion: The results showed that the Patient Safety Scale for Hospitals is a valid and reliable measurement instrument for healthcare professionals.

为医院制定患者安全量表。
背景/目的:本研究旨在为医院提供一个可靠有效的量表,用于确定当前的患者安全文化并跟踪其发展情况,从而为相关文献做出贡献:研究采用方便抽样法,在 3 家二级护理国立医院和 3 家研究与培训医院(其中一家附属于医学院,另外两家附属于卫生科学大学)选取了 1137 名医护人员参与研究。首先,为了发现量表项目的潜在结构,进行了探索性因子分析(EFA)。此外,为了确定量表的因子结构,还使用了确认性因子分析(CFA)方法。计算了 Cronbach's alpha 系数,以检验回答的可靠性:根据 Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin 系数(KMO = 0.924)和 Bartlett 球形度检验结果(χ 2 = 9748.777,df = 770),确定数据结构适合进行因子分析。总量表的 Cronbach's alpha 系数为 0.921。根据 EFA 结果,量表被确定为 7 个子量表,分别是 1.组织学习、发展和沟通;2.管理支持和领导;3.报告患者安全事件;4.人员数量和工作时间;5.对错误的反应;6.团队合作;7.工作环境。工作环境。量表的拟合优度指数结果显示模型拟合良好(χ 2 / df = 3.04, RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.97, NFI = 0.95, IFI = 0.97, SRMR = 0.06)。各分量表的 Cronbach's alpha 系数介于 0.66 和 0.91 之间:结果表明,医院患者安全量表对于医护人员来说是一个有效且可靠的测量工具。

期刊介绍: Turkish Journal of Medical sciences is a peer-reviewed comprehensive resource that provides critical up-to-date information on the broad spectrum of general medical sciences. The Journal intended to publish original medical scientific papers regarding the priority based on the prominence, significance, and timeliness of the findings. However since the audience of the Journal is not limited to any subspeciality in a wide variety of medical disciplines, the papers focusing on the technical  details of a given medical  subspeciality may not be evaluated for publication.
