A Psychometric Analysis of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire in Acute Care Nursing.
Background: Evaluating patient safety culture is vital for improving health care quality. The safety attitudes questionnaire (SAQ) is a well-established tool to measure attitudes toward safety in health care personnel, but its psychometric properties have not been extensively studied in the acute care nursing population.
Purpose: This study examines the psychometric properties of the SAQ specifically within an acute care nursing sample.
Methods: Reliability and validity of the SAQ were evaluated using correlation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with a sample of nurses from acute care settings in California.
Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.78, with subscales ranging from 0.70 to 0.90, indicating moderate reliability. CFA revealed a 2-factor model demonstrating excellent fit.
Conclusion: The SAQ subscales reliably measure their constructs. Strong factor loadings validate the 2-factor structure, affirming the tool's effectiveness in assessing patient safety attitudes in acute care nursing.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Nursing Care Quality (JNCQ) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides practicing nurses as well as nurses who have leadership roles in nursing care quality programs with useful information regarding the application of quality principles and concepts in the practice setting. The journal offers a forum for the scholarly discussion of “real world” implementation of quality activities.
