Development and Validation Perception Questionnaire for Medical Safety Adverse Events
Objective:To develop and test the reliability and validity of a perception questionnaire for medical safety adverse events.Methods:The original questionnaire entries were determined on the basis of literature research and expert guidance,based on the theory of health belief modeling.Taking the medical staff of a certain tertiary hospital in Shizui City as the research object,a formal questionnaire was formed through item analysis,exploratory factor analysis,and confirmatory factor analysis and its reliability and va-lidity were analyzed.Results:The formal questionnaire consisted of a total of 20 items on five factors:cognitive severity(3 items),cog-nitive benefit*(3 items),cognitive susceptibility(3 items),cognitive impairment(4 items),and self-efficacy(7 items),with a cumula-tive contribution of 71.44%to variance,and statistically significant correlations between scores on each of the dimensions and the total score.The correlation between the scores of each dimension and the total score was statistically significant(P<0.001).The Chron-bach's alpha coefficient for the total questionnaire was 0.810,and the Chronbach's alpha coefficients for the dimensions ranged from 0.733 to 0.902.The questionnaire has good structural validity and reliability.Validated factor analysis showed that the questionnaire had good fit indicators.Conclusion:The developed medical Safety Adverse Event Perception Questionnaire has good reliability and va-lidity and is suitable for measuring healthcare nursing perception of healthcare safety adverse events.
