'Development and psychometric evaluation of the safety feeling scale in adult patients at hospital: Exploratory sequential mixed method'.

ABSTRACT:

Aim and objectives

This study aimed to develop and examine psychometric properties of the safety feeling scale (SFS) in adult patients to assess their sense of safety during a hospital stay.

Design

Mixed methods design. A SQUIRE checklist was used.

Methods

This is a study with two phases of scale development and evaluation of the psychometric properties of the scale. In the first phase, the concept of 'safety feeling' was analysed using a hybrid model. Thus, a systematic review and then a qualitative study with hospitalized patients (n = 31) were conducted by conventional content analysis. In the psychometric phase, factorial validity, reliability, feasibility, and responsiveness of the scale were evaluated by different tests in various samples.
