3.2. Measures
All measures were translated to Dutch and tested in a pilot study of
30 health care employees from different ages and educational levels
working in a range of occupations. Feedback was given on the terms
used, wording, and relevance of the items in the survey for their occupation.
The items used to measure the safety climate and safety behavior
concepts in this study can be found in Appendix I. Unless stated otherwise,
all items were measured on a five-point Likert scale, ranging
from a low score of 1 to a high score of 5.
