Objective:
To evaluate the evidence of validity, reliability and responsiveness of the Brazilian version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire for Emergency Care Units.
Method:
Methodological study carried out in September 2020 with 46 health professionals from an Emergency Care Unit in the metropolitan region of the State of Espírito Santo. Reliability was verified through the analysis of internal consistency, stability and reproducibility. The validity and responsiveness of the instrument were tested.
Results:
Cronbach's alpha=0.85, showing excellent internal consistency. All domains are positively and significantly correlated with each other. In the stability assessment, the domains Job Satisfaction, Management Perception and Working Conditions showed strong correlations.
Conclusion:
It is concluded that the instrument presents satisfactory values in the evaluation of psychometric properties, showing evidence of validity, reliability and responsiveness. Thus, it is validated to be reproduced in other Emergency Care Units in Brazil.
