Patient Views Towards Surgical Safety and Checklists Measure

Abstract

The Patient Views Towards Surgical Safety and Checklists Measure (Bergs et al., 2018) was developed for the purposes of a study investigating the views patients have towards surgical safety and checklists. Eleven items were constructed, designed to measure perception of patient safety (2 items), attitudes towards the WHO surgical safety checklist (5 items) and attitudes regarding how the checklist is used in practice (4 items). Each item, except for the questions regarding the respondents’ perception of patient safety, was phrased as a statement. The measure was administered to a sample of Dutch patients (18-91 years). No reliability or validity data was provided for the measure. (PsycTESTS Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
