Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a instrument to evaluate patient safety perception in hospitalized patient and to examine its validity and reliability.
Methods: For the development of the initial items, the literature was reviewed along with the existing measuring tools. The items were evaluated by experts for content validity. This study was conducted from September 2017 to January 2018. A total of 294 hospitalized patients participated in the study to verify the validity and reliability of the instrument. Data were analyzed by item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity, and internal consistency.
Results: The final instrument were derived containing 24 items and 3 factors. There were 10 items on “activities to ensure”, 10 items on “patient's safety practices”, and 4 items on “trust of the medical system.” The criterion-related validity was established using the Patient Measure of Safety (r=.72, p<.001). The Cronbach's α for this instrument was .93.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that this instrument has satisfactory validity and reliability. It can quantitatively measure the degree of patient safety awareness of hospitalized patients.
