Measurement properties of the polish version of the nursing home survey on patient safety culture.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundMeasuring patient safety culture should be a fundamental component in the functioning of long-term care facilities. Several tools have been developed for this purpose, including the Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture (NHSOPSC), which was created and validated in the USA. The psychometric properties of the NHSOPSC have also been tested in some countries, including Norway and Spain. Such an analysis has not been carried out in Poland so far. This study seeks to establish the measurement properties of the Polish version of the NHSOPSC in a sample of long-term care facility staff.
methodsIn the initial phase, the questionnaire was translated into Polish. This was followed by a cross-sectional study of medical, auxiliary, and administrative staff in inpatient long-term care facilities. Additionally, a second measurement was carried out in select establishments. Descriptive statistics were calculated and the distributions of each NHSOPSC item were checked, followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) by Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) method to confirm the 12-factor model. The tool's reliability was assessed by calculating Cronbach's Alpha and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Correlation analyses were also conducted. The statistical analyses were performed using the JASP 0.18.3.0 and IBM SPSS Statistics 29.
resultsThe analyses substantiated the presence of a 12-factor model. However, one item (A16) was eliminated to enhance reliability. As expressed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the tool's reliability is moderate (α = 0.60-0.82). Most dimensions demonstrate satisfactory ICC levels, although slightly lower values (below 0.6) were observed for three domains (staffing, feedback, and communication about incidents, and organizational learning). The correlation analyses indicate acceptable validity of the tool.
conclusionsAfter removing one item, the Polish version of the NHSOPSC can be used to measure the patient safety culture in long-term care facilities.
