Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This research aimed to conduct an investigation of the tools used to assess safety culture in the primary health care. STUDY DESIGN: Integrative review of the literature. METHODS: We conducted a literature search using an instrument that included quantitative assessments of safety culture, using the following databases: CINAHL, ScienceDirect, PubMed, BIREME, and SciELO. Retrieved material comprised original articles published from 1998 to 2014, with titles and abstracts available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. RESULTS: The search resulted in seven instruments; however, only three were primary healthcare focused. CONCLUSION: Most of the existing instruments for assessing safety culture have acceptable psychometric properties. The study serves as a source for students, workers, and researchers who want to know more about appropriate instruments for evaluating safety culture in primary care.
