Attitudes to Patients’ Safety Questionnaire in The Arabic Context: Psychometric Properties
Patient safety education is often implicit in undergraduate nursing curricula, making it harder to meet competency standards. The Attitudes to Patient Safety Questionnaire (APSQ-III), which was developed in 2009 by Carruthers and collaborators in the United Kingdom, examines patient safety on a more sophisticated system level and has the potential to lead productive, nonhierarchical collaboration in educational settings. This study's goal was to use rigorous psychometric testing to validate the Arabic version of the Attitudes to Patient Safety Questionnaire (APSQ-III) for nursing students in an Arabic context. The majority of the 217 students recruited for this study through a convenience sampling technique were in their fourth year of college. There were two phases of APSQ-III validation investigations. Initially, three nurses were hired. The team documented their ideas and selected the best one. The Arabic version of the APSQ-III was translated using World Health Organization (WHO) principles. A number of models were developed and evaluated. On the APSQ-III, which had a total of 25 questions, a principal components analysis with equamax rotation was carried out. The analysis revealed that the six higher-order factors with respective eigenvalues of (5.9, 3.1, 2.0, 1.3, 1.2, and 1.1) account for 58.4% of the total variance. All resulting factors contained at least three variables with clean loadings. The APSQ-III, which has been modified for use with nursing students in Jordan and other Arab countries has achieved construct validity and a Cronbach’s alpha reliability of 0.80 for measuring attitudes regarding patient safety.
