FTPS
Fragebogen zu Teamwork und Patientensicherheit
Short abstract
The FTPS is the German translation of the English-speaking Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ; Sexton et al., 2006), which in turn was derived through several intermediate steps from a corresponding instrument for employees in aviation (Flight Management Attitudes Questionnaire). The FTPS examines the attitudes of hospital staff to aspects of the work situation that are relevant to patient safety. It comprises 27 statements on four subscales: (1) Dealing with errors (k = 10), (2) Management (k = 5), (3) Cooperation (k = 6) and (4) Communication (k = 6). Reliability: The internal consistencies (Cronbach's alpha) were alpha values of alpha = .63-.83 for the scales. Validity: In order to obtain initial validity indications, the factor values for all respondents were calculated for the four factors of the main component analysis and the values were averaged for each of the occupational groups surveyed. Variance-analytical comparisons revealed significant group differences on three of the four factors (except "leadership"). In a debriefing, these differences could be plausibly explained by the everyday working conditions of the individual occupational groups, e.g. by a particularly good working atmosphere within a group or the different perceived appreciation by other occupational groups.
