Sažetak
Most healthcare organizations lack the ability to evaluate the safety of care they provide to their patients. Safety climate may be interpreted as the measurable part of safety culture. Healthcare professionals’ perception of the safety climate has been used as a tool to develop the instruments to measure patient safety climate in healthcare. Safety Attitudes Questionnaire 2006 Short Form (SAQ) has been considered a reliable and sensitive tool to assess safety attitudes. It has been used to explore the relationship between safety climate scores and patient outcomes and has also become the most commonly used self-reported
psychometric questionnaire that measures safety attitudes in front-line workers. SAQ has been proven to possess good psychometric properties also when translated. This study represents a national cross-sectional on-line survey about the safety attitudes of the management staff of Croatian hospitals, based on the SAQ. The aim of this study was to establish the validity of the SAQ translated to the Croatian language by
evaluating its psychometric properties in a sample of the hospital management staff of Croatian hospitals. Correlation between SAQ factors was comparable to that in SAQ studies in other countries. Correlation between SAQ factors was comparable to that in other SAQ studies. Yet, the overall score in Croatia was higher for most of the factors, with the exception of Stress Recognition. Along with the development of quality and safety in Croatian hospitals, future data on patient outcomes should allow for further validation studies, linking
them with the SAQ-scores.
