Evaluation of psychometric properties of the German Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture and its potential for cross-cultural comparisons: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study the psychometric characteristics of German version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture and to compare its dimensionality to other language versions in order to understand the instrument's potential for cross-national studies.

Design

Cross-sectional multicentre study to establish psychometric properties of German version of the survey instrument.

Setting

73 units from 37 departments of two German university hospitals.

Participants

Clinical personnel (n=995 responses, response rate 39.6%).

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Psychometric properties (eg, model fit, internal consistency, construct validity) of the instrument and comparison of dimensionality across different language translations.
