Students' safety culture at tertiary level academic institutes in Bangladesh: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the safety culture of tertiary-level students in Bangladesh and identify the factors that influence it. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1676 students from 16 universities and medical colleges in Bangladesh to gather data. The survey consisted of a paper-based structured questionnaire with three scales: a 17-item safety beliefs and values scale, a 10-item safety perception and awareness scale, and a 14-item safety attitudes scale. The results showed that tertiary-level students generally exhibit moderate levels of safety beliefs and values, safety perception and awareness, and safety attitudes. Female students had better safety perception and awareness [β = -0.083; 95%CI = -0.140, -0.025] and safety attitudes [β = -0.173; 95%CI = -0.230, -0.117],
