Objective To develop a patient safety culture assessment scale in tertiary general hospitals and test its reliabil-ity and validity.Methods With Vincent patient safety analysis framework as the main framework,the patient safety culture assessment scale was formed by Delphi method based on the advantages of VAPSCQ and the actual development of patient safety culture in China.In March 2023,420 nurses in a tertiary general hospital in Nanjing were conveniently selected to conduct a questionnaire survey.SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the survey results and test their reliability and validity.Results The patient safety culture assessment scale in tertiary general hospitals included 10 dimensions and 52 items.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 10 common factors and explained 69.865%of the total variables.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.920,and the average content validity index was 0.980.Conclusion The patient safety culture assessment scale of tertiary general hospitals has good reliability and validity,and can be used to evaluate the patient safety culture level of tertiary general hospitals in China.
