Abstract:
Objective:To translate the English version of the Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture (MOSPSC) into Chinese, and conduct cross-cultural adjustment and reliability and validity tests.Methods:After obtaining the authorization and consent of the original questionnaire agency in May 2018, forward translation, synthesis, back translation and expert consultation of the English version of MOSPSC were carried out to form the Chinese version of MOSPSC. From December 2018 to January 2019, convenience sampling was used to select the outpatient staff working in five ClassⅢ general hospitals in Chengdu as the research object to evaluate the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.Results:A total of 420 questionnaires were distributed, 396 valid questionnaires were recovered. The Chinese version of MOSPSC included 10 dimensions, 38 items, and another 3 items to investigate and evaluate the status quo of outpatient quality and safety issues. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.901 for the employee level and 0.978 for the management level. The split-half reliability of the questionnaire was 0.907 for the employee level, 0.971 for the management level, and 0.408 to 0.975 for each dimension. The test-retest reliability of the employee level of the questionnaire was 0.960, and the test-retest reliability of each dimension was from 0.438 to 0.943. The item-level content validity index of the questionnaire was from 0.66 to 1.00, and the average scale-level content validity index of the questionnaire was 0.91.Conclusions:The Chinese version of MOSPSC maintains good equivalence with the source questionnaire after strict cross-cultural adjustment, and has good content validity, internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability, which is suitable for the investigation of patient safety culture in the outpatient setting of China.
