Summary: This study evaluated the safety culture in operating rooms and found it to be weak, with only teamwork within units demonstrating strength. Improvement is needed in non-punitive response to error, communication openness, feedback and communication about error, frequency of events reported, handoffs and transition, and staffing. The perceived safety culture varies according to work areas and professional roles, with nurse anaesthetists having the highest perception and surgeons the least.

Summary: This study aimed to adapt and validate the HSOPSC 2.0 to Brazilian Portuguese and the hospital context in Brazil in order to assess patient safety culture. The results showed satisfactory psychometric properties of the Brazilian version, demonstrating good internal consistency and construct validity. However, considering the factor loadings smaller than 0.4 observed in ten items and the testing of the scale during the Covid-19 pandemic on a single sample, further validation on other samples in Brazil is acknowledged.

Summary: This review focuses on empirical studies of patient safety culture in Norway using the HSOPSC tool, identifying the need for improvement and potential strategies for intervention. While most studies support the validity of HSOPSC, there are also concerns about the quality of certain studies' testing criteria. The review emphasizes the importance of careful validation of dimensions, avoiding methodological pitfalls, integrating structural models into improvement programs, and utilizing newer versions of the HSOPSC.

Summary: The current knowledge and research tools on patient safety culture (PSC) in the healthcare industry are limited, which may hinder global efforts to improve patient safety. Factors such as teamwork, organizational and behavioral learning, as well as reporting errors and safety awareness, have been identified as critical in impacting PSC. Future efforts to improve PSC should consider these factors.
