PY - 2018 DA - 2018/10/17 TI - Psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the hospital survey on patient safety culture in a prehospital environment JO - BMC Health Services Research SP - 784 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - To develop a culture of patient safety in a regime that strongly focuses on saving patients from emergencies may seem counter-intuitive and challenging. Little research exists on patient safety culture in the context of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and the use of survey tools represents an appropriate approach to improve patient safety. Research indicates that safety climate studies may predict safety behavior and safety-related outcomes. In this study we apply the Norwegian versions of Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) and assess the psychometric properties when tested on a national sample from the EMS.
