Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Validation of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Version 2 (HSOPSv2) in Spanish Hospitals.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPatient safety culture is a key component of healthcare quality. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPS), developed by AHRQ in 2004, has been widely used internationally to assess healthcare professionals' perceptions of safety. In 2019, version 2 (HSOPSv2) was released, with improvements in structure and item clarity. Although a Spanish version for North America exists, it has not yet been validated in the Spanish hospital context.
objectivesTo adapt and validate HSOPSv2 for the Spanish hospital context, ensuring its cultural, linguistic, and psychometric equivalence with the original version, and to assess its suitability for use in Spanish hospitals.
methodsA cross-cultural adaptation process was conducted, including translation, back-translation, and expert consensus, followed by a cognitive pretest with 20 healthcare professionals. A pilot study was then carried out in four hospitals in Murcia and Alicante, with 369 participants. Internal consistency (Cronbach's α and composite reliability), convergent validity (AVE, factor loadings), and discriminant validity (Fornell-Larcker criterion and HTMT) were assessed through confirmatory factor analysis using the WLSMV estimator.
resultsThe 10-factor model showed satisfactory fit indices (CFI and TLI > 0.90; RMSEA < 0.06; SRMR < 0.08). Most dimensions presented acceptable reliability (α and CR > 0.70), except for "Staffing and Work Pace" and "Handoffs and Information Exchange." Convergent validity was adequate in seven of the ten dimensions (AVE ≥ 0.50), with some weaker loadings in negatively worded items. The Fornell-Larcker criterion indicated overlap in some communication-related constructs, although HTMT results supported overall discriminant validity.
conclusionsThe Spanish version of HSOPSv2 shows satisfactory psychometric properties, comparable to other international adaptations. Its availability provides Spanish hospitals with a robust tool to assess patient safety culture, identify areas for improvement, and design interventions aimed at reducing adverse events and strengthening patient safety.
