Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The study aimed to develop an instrument to measure patient safety knowledge, attitude and skills among nursing officers and civilian military nurses working for military hospitals in South Korea.
Methods: The primary questionnaire was established through comprehensive literature review and revised after content validity examination by the experts. 480 subjects were asked to participate in the study and finally 434 out of 480 answers were included for the analysis. Psychometric properties of the instrument were examined, including the content and construct validity (exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation) and the reliability (internal consistency).
Results: The total number of questions for the final instrument was 71. Attitude (30) and skills (24) questions were psychometrically sound. The reliability of the knowledge (17) questions was low, however, the value of the reliability was estimated within acceptable range.
Conclusion: The obtained data using the instrument would be expected to serve as the basis for the patient safety education and evaluation. This study suggested that the developed instrument is a useful tool to investigate the patient safety competencies
