“…The study was conducted using the Austrian Patient Safety Climate Inventory” (A-PaSKI), a newly developed and psychometrically verified instrument [ 29 ]. This was developed based on Austrian empirical data and showed very good results at the model, indicator, and construct levels.…”

“…All items were scored on a 5-point Likert scale (“strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”) or frequency (“never” to “always”). The A-PaSKI includes several demographic background variables, eight of which were used in the analysis, along with three outcome variables (patient safety grade, number of events reported, and influence on patient safety) [ 29 ].…”

This study aimed to investigate the patient safety culture in Austria. We identified factors that contributed to a higher degree of patient safety and subsequently developed evidence-based suggestions on how to improve patient safety culture in hospitals. Moreover, we examined differences in the perception of patient safety culture among different professional groups. This study used a cross-sectional design in ten Austrian hospitals (N = 1,525). We analyzed the correlation between ten patient safety culture factors, three background characteristics (descriptive variables), and three outcome variables (patient safety grade, number of adverse events reported, and influence on patient safety). We also conducted an analysis of variance to determine the differences in patient safety culture factors among the various professional groups in hospitals. The findings revealed that all ten factors have considerable potential for improvement. The most highly rated patient safety culture factors were communication openness and supervisor/manager’s expectations and actions promoting safety; whereas, the lowest rated factor was non-punitive response to error. A comparison of the various professional groups showed significant differences in the perception of patient safety culture between nurses, doctors, and other groups. Patient safety culture in Austria seems to have considerable potential for improvement, and patient safety culture factors significantly contribute to patient safety. We determined evidence-based practices as recommendations for improving each of the patient safety factors.

Objectives The study aim was to create an updated valid translation into Hebrew of the AHRQ’s survey on patient safety culture for hospitals, version 2.0. It also suggested a supplementary section about workers’ safety. Comparable and valid measurement tools are important for national and international benchmarking of patient safety culture in hospitals. Methods The process was carried out by a designated committee according to AHRQ translation guidelines. Methodology included several translation cycles, 6 semistructured cognitive interviews with health workers, and a web-based pilot survey at 6 general hospitals. Main analyses included an exploratory factor analysis, a comparison of the differences in results between versions 1 and 2 of the survey to the differences reported by AHRQ, and content analysis of open-ended questions. Results A total of 483 returned questionnaires met the inclusion criterion of at least 70% completion of the questionnaire. The demographic distributions suggested this sample to be satisfactory representative. Cronbach’s alpha for the translated questionnaire was 0.95, meaning a high internal consistency between the survey items. An exploratory factor analysis revealed 8 underlying factors, and a secondary analysis further divided the first factor into 2 components. The factors structure generally resembled HSOPS 2.0 composite measures. Analyses of the new section about health workers’ safety showed high involvement and possible common themes. Conclusions The study demonstrated good psychometric properties—high reliability and validity of the new translated version of the questionnaire. This paper may serve other countries who wish to translate and adapt the safety culture survey to different languages.
