Sažetak
Quality, safety and safety culture in healthcare have been recognized as topics of top priority worldwide. However, there is however an unmet need to develop and implement reliable measuring instruments. The measurable part of safety culture is understood as the safety climate and reflect the perception of professionals regarding safety issues at their workplace. It is proven that positive perception of healthcare professionals is related to the reduction of adverse events, adoption of safe behaviors, improved communication, job satisfaction, team work, etc. Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) has been recognized as the only instrument measuring safety culture in a way that correlates with patients’ outcomes, as well as with safety climate. The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with the difference in the perception of safety climate among the management of Croatian hospitals using the Croatian translation of the SAQ 2006 Short Form Questionnaire assessment.
