Operating Room Nurses' Risks and Perceptions of Safety Climate

"Safety Climate Scale: Since a customized safety climate perception measurement tool for nurses could not be found in the literature, the Safety Climate Scale (SAS), developed by Choudry et al. in 2009 and adapted to Turkish by Türen et al. in 2014, was used on healthcare workers and electronics industry workers. The scale consists of two subscales: 10 items evaluating the management's perspective and rules (YÖBAK) and 4 items evaluating colleagues and safety training (İAGE). Participants rate the statements in the scale between strongly agree (five points) and strongly disagree (one point). The total score of the scale is calculated by taking the average of the item scores, and as the average gets closer to five, the safety climate improves, and as it gets closer to one, it gets worse. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was determined as 0.93 in the study conducted by Türen et al., and in this study it was calculated as 0.82."
