Sintesi	The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) is a 60-item self-report instrument developed by Sexton and colleagues in the early 2000s to measure organizational safety culture in healthcare settings. Adapted from crew resource management research in aviation, the SAQ assesses clinician and non-clinician perceptions of safety attitudes across six key dimensions. It is widely used in hospital quality improvement and research to identify gaps in safety culture and benchmark institutional performance.	The Patient Safety Climate Scale (PSCS) is a focused, brief assessment tool designed to measure staff perceptions of the safety climate within a specific healthcare unit or department. Unlike broader safety culture instruments, the PSCS concentrates on the immediate work environment—how safety is prioritized at the team and unit level, whether staff feel supported in reporting concerns, and whether leadership demonstrates commitment to preventing harm. The PSCS has been used in hospitals, ambulatory centers, and long-term care facilities to rapidly assess readiness for safety initiatives or to track improvements following targeted interventions.
