Introduction: Literacy of health professionals on patient
safety aims to prevent and reduce risks and adverse events
in healthcare. Objective: The objective of this study was to
translate, adapt, and validate for Portugal of the World
Health Organization Questionnaire to Assess the Implementation
of the Multiprofessional Guide. Methodology:
Following the cultural adaptation process, we carried out a
psychometric analysis on a sample of 300 health professionals.
The scale was tested for apparent and content
validity. Psychometric properties were assessed using
Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α) through exploratory and
confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, and discriminant
validity. Results: Exploratory factor analysis led to
a tetra factor structure that accounted for 43.0% of the
variance and had an overall alpha of 0.759. The hypothesized
structure was submitted to confirmatory factor analysis,
and the following items were eliminated from factors 1,
2, and 3 and the respective items: 7; 5; and 3, 4, 5, and 6, due
to multicollinearity problems. Overall good-of-fit indexes are
reliable. Conclusions: The “KIT TOOL-S2 TEXT” scale presents
a factor structure with satisfactory validity and reliability
results, adequately representing the constructs in question.
