Abstract
BACKGROUND: By assessing patient safety culture, healthcare providers can identify areas for improvement in patient safety culture. To achieve this, these assessment outcomes have to be relevant and presented clearly. The aim of our study was to explore healthcare professionals' views on the feedback of a patient safety culture assessment.Entities:

aAggregated scores on the hospital level were calculated when more questionnaires of one hospital were returned (e.g. from different department members). The following directives were followed for aggregating the results. Evaluation of the feedback report: item 1; average scores were calculated for every aspect; item 2; answer ‘yes’ was used when one respondent marked this option; item 3; the extra option ‘different statements’ was constructed when different options were marked and item 4; answer ‘partly’ was used when different options were marked. For the evaluation of the website, aggregation of the results was not necessary as only the contact persons returned the questionnaire
