Combinational Effects of Clinical Area and Healthcare Workers’ Job Type on the Safety Culture in Hospitals

This article is the second in a series of articles on methodology to analyze patient safety culture among healthcare workers (HCWs). In the previous article, we developed and validated the Korean version of the Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ-K) and proposed a method to estimate SAQ-K scores for clinical area more accurately than traditional SAQ analysis methods [1]. Here, we expand the scope to devise methods to explore combinational effects of different characteristics, clinical area and job type.
