Psychometric properties of the Georgian version of Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To study the psychometric properties of the Georgian version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSPSC-GE).

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Three Georgian hospitals.

Participants

Staff of participating hospitals (n=579 responses, response rate 41.6%).

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Psychometric properties (Model fit, internal consistency, construct validity) of the instrument, factor structure derived from the data.

Results

HSPSC-GE demonstrated acceptable construct validity but highly limited internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.35-0.87). Confirmatory factor analysis with the original 12-factor model resulted in poor model fit (root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.06; standardised root mean
