Safety culture in the primary health care settings based on workers with a leadership role: the psychometric properties of the Slovenian-language version of the safety attitudes questionnaire - short form.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSafety culture describes leader and staff interactions, attitudes, routines, awareness, and practices within an organisation. With this study, we aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the Slovenian-language version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) - Short Form in primary health care settings.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study in the largest primary health care in Slovenia. We invited all employees with a leadership role to participate in the study (N = 211). We used the Slovenian-language version of the SAQ - Short Form.
resultsThere were 154 participants in the final sample (73.0% response rate), of which 136 (88.3%) were women. The mean age of the sample was 46.2 ± 10.0 years. Exploratory factor analysis put forward six factors: 1) Perceptions of Management; 2) Stress recognition; 3) Teamwork Climate; 4) Communication; 5) Safety Climate; 6) Working Conditions and Satisfaction. This model explained 61.7% of the variance of the safety culture in the primary health care setting. The reliability of the whole scale and of the six factors, assessed using Cronbach's alpha, was all above 0.78.
conclusionThe results of our study suggests that the Slovenian-language version of the SAQ - Short Form with six factors could be a reliable and valid tool for measuring the safety culture in the primary health care workers with leadership role In Slovenia. The Slovenian version differed from the original SAQ - Short Form and the majority of other translated versions. Also, the data was from one health centre only and therefore we cannot draw strong conclusions on its external validity.
