ANDRADE, Luiz Eduardo Lima de et al. Adaptation and validation of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture in an electronic Brazilian version. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.3, pp.455-468. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742017000300004.

OBJECTIVE:

to adapt the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) to the Brazilian context and validate a computer program that facilitates the collection and analysis of data in hospitals with different types of management.

METHODS:

methodological study developed in six hospitals in Natal-RN, Brazil; a software which allows data collection via e-mail, cloud storage and automatic data report was developed; validity was verified through confirmatory factor analysis and reliability, through consistency analysis with Cronbach's alpha.

RESULTS:

863 professionals participated in the study; the adapted version presented total Cronbach's alpha of 0.92 and median of 0.69 in the 12 dimensions (90% confidence interval: 0.53;0.87); the model was fitted and showed good indexes in the confirmatory factor analysis.

CONCLUSION:

the results confirmed the validity and reliability of the instrument with adequate psychometric properties for the assessment of patient’s safety culture in Brazilian hospitals.
