Psychometric Evaluations of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Version 2.0 in Ethiopia (E-HSoPSC 2.0): A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSoPSC) version 2.0 in Ethiopian public hospitals.

Design

A cross-sectional study.

Settings

Five public hospitals in Eastern Ethiopia.

Participants

Healthcare professionals (N=582).

Main outcome measure

An adapted and contextualised version of HSoPSC 2.0 was used to conduct structural validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA). Convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated through item loadings and interfactor correlations, respectively. Reliability was measured using McDonald's omega and Cronbach's alpha.

Results

CFA indicated a poor model fit for the original 10-factor, 32-item HSoPSC 2.0 across all statistica
